La famille, la famille [English translation]

[Intro]

Family, family, family

Family, family

Family, family, family

Family

[Verse 1]

Sitting in the middle of a feast hall that smells like mold

A year after I admitted that I hate these family celebrations

I never thought I'd come back, it's like I never left

I even think auntie reuses the same plastic glasses

I thought the family would lynch me

Half told me it makes them laugh, the other half acts like I didn't do anything

How many times have I smashed them in my lyrics?

Why do I write the same shit as the French comedies I hate?

It's when you risk losing things that you understand their value

I'm emotional, I shouldn't have attacked the punch at four o'clock

It's amazing how relieved I am that no one's mad at me

If no one asks me to sing, I think I'll do it myself.

[Chorus]

I'd like to make a speech because I've been drinking

Raise your glasses, I'd like to say something

For the good and embarrassing moments we've had

For all the people we'll never see again

I would like to remind you that we could have made excuses

But we find ourselves together in a remote corner

Whatever you think, one thing is for sure

We'll remain the best family we've ever had

[Verse 2]

We'll be bored as fuck if I apologize to you

I often talk about end-of-meal disputes, I would like to talk about the beginnings

When Christian was playing Santa Claus, until I was ten, I believed it

The day Nico explained to me why his Nike have bubbles

Of course, no one likes to see their dad make sex jokes

But, strangely enough, it's the kind of joke I'm known for

The football games with the cousins taught me something

It's that we only need two rocks to have a goal

I didn't believe it when Auntie gave me Mega Man

I didn't even have Mega Drive, I loved just looking at the cover

When you danced the caterpillar, I dreamed of being born somewhere else

How did I not see that everyone was having fun but me?

The time when Uncle was sad and he didn't make a joke

I realized that even if they're lame, it's better if he makes them

To celebrate my license, he lent me his Escort, a real shock

So proud, I stripped the top off under the fleet

Bruno has saved winters with his Camcorder

If there had been YouTube, I swear to you, we would have been famous at the time

Actually, I lay it on thick, it was lame, we would have flop

My mother was sad, but she said she thought it was great

To all those generations married too soon

That give me hope when I see couples growing old together in the pictures

I feel old too when I talk to Paulo

But he makes me discover these new rappers from whom I have stole too much flow

I know his father's not really racist, just meanly naive

He has no more choice since the family has branches in Africa

My brother-in-law grooms her a lot but takes care of my sister

And, since she's not drinking tonight, I feel like the family's growing

We'll celebrate as a family as long as we're alive, I guarantee you

Next time, I'll throw the caterpillar, Grandma, don't worry

[Bridge 1]

The punch is disgusting because I made it myself

[Chorus]

I'd like to make a speech because I've been drinking

Raise your glasses, I'd like to say something

For the good and embarrassing moments we've had

For all the people we'll never see again

I would like to remind you that we could have made excuses

But we find ourselves together in a remote corner

Whatever you think, one thing is for sure

We'll remain the best family we've ever had

[Bridge 2]

We could have made excuses

But we find ourselves together in a remote corner

Whatever you think, one thing is for sure

We'll remain the best family we've ever had

[Outro]

Family, family, family

Family, family

Family, family, family

Family
