Genius English Translations - Orelsan Dans Ma Ville On Traine English Translation Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my city, we hang out between the concrete and the plains
In the cobblestone streets downtown where all the shops close
We spend our weekends in the industrial zones
Near the residential districts where the houses look the same
My city is like the first girlfriend I've ever had
I can't leave her, yet I spend my time spitting on her
Talking 'bout the good weather would be looking at the sky wrong
I hate her as much as I love her, probably 'cause we're the same
We hung out on the streets, tagged the walls, skated in the parks, slept in the town squares
Threw up in the bars, danced in the clubs, smoked in the squats, sang in the stadiums
Hung out on the streets, tagged the walls, skated in the parks, slept in the town squares
Threw up in the bars, danced in the clubs, smoked in the squats, sang in the stadiums

[Interlude]
I've hung out so many times in the streets of Caen
With a bottle everyone has drunken out of
Between two worlds in suspense
Criminal the way I killed time
I've hung out so many times in the streets of Caen
With a bottle everyone has drunken out of
Between two worlds in suspense
Criminal the way I killed time

[Verse 2]
I've hung out so many times in the streets of Caen
With a bottle everyone has drunken out of
Between two worlds in suspense
Criminal the way I killed time
After 10 pm, you don't see any more people
As if we were still under bombardment
You'll just hear cops and the sound of wind
Some college rugby players drinking after a game
Who shouldn't get too close to the edge
Where they'll end up on the docks
In the few bars that are still serving
Where there are cigarettes and plastered drunk Englishmen
5 in the morning
The line at the halal spots upon leaving the club
You can take a pita or take a punch
Or you can take the first tram
And if ever you fall asleep
You'll wake up on the outskirts of town
There where the malls are enormous
Where we spent Saturdays with the family
Where I loved to walk around
Even when we had nothing to buy, woohoo, yeah
My parents' shopping cart slowed down in front of the Pizza del Arte
Not far from the toy store where I stole toy knights
Near the bridge where my grandma took me
To throw paper airplanes
Where you can see the big towers of the housing blocks
Where the architect really thought he did something
If I didn't rap, I never would've gone there
'Cause we don't mix that much where I come from
Then there's fields, then there's nothing
If you see smoke when you return
It means in the factories not too far away
They burn themselves, they wear themselves out, they make fuel for the machine
Next to linear housing blocks
Where they think about what the neighbor thinks
Where they spend Sundays as a family
Where they manufacture fragile whites
Go along the canal, take the ring road
You'll arrive at a gym where I missed many a decisive lay up
Not far from a remote corner
Where girls prostitute themselves in between flocks of cranes
There where there's buses
That take you to the sea within 20 minutes
Where Parisians found us so lame
Where you can see England behind the fog
Pass by the hospital that's visible from everywhere
To remind us we'll all pass through there some day
And you'll end up back in the city
Where the posh go shopping and the punks beg
Where there are hobos whose names everyone knows
I saw Gigi slit her writs with a shard of glass
In front of the grocery store, the one that's always open
Near the castle, its moats and urban legends
I've done weddings and funerals
In the mosques, churches and temples
Under a Norman drizzle
It doesn't even fucking rain properly
My city of a hundred bell towers
Every time they demolish a building
They erase a part of my past
