La Fièvre [English translation]

Verse 1: Kool Shen

It all began one morning when at 10:10

I was jolted out of bed by the a**hole du jour

My upstairs neighbor, a big Elvis fan

Spends his weekends blasting live albums from Memphis

The worst thing is that I hardly slept last night

Understand that last evening I was out, man

Until six in the morning

You get it?

That means I got no more than four hours sleep,

Exactly!

I am going to spend the rest of the day in a haze

What's more, I have important meetings, interviews

This could be hard, I'm in a bad mood, I admit it

But I accept it, I take control

Moreover, I am already at the wheel of my car

Headed for Les Abbesses

Where I have a meeting with

The man they call Joey, Joey Starr

But I hadn't gone 500 meters when the police stop me

And ask me to pull over for an identity check

A simple formality when you have your papers

But this time I didn't have them on me

So I was asked to go to the police station, where

They gave me hell for hours

Refrain 1:

They gave me hell for hours

They gave me he'll for hours (x 4)

Verse 2: Joey Starr

S**t, three hours now I've been waiting for him

Tired of being stuck like so many times before

I can see him, specifying, insisting

That I have to be on time for something important

When a bitch appears in front of me

It's tough to stay standing here

It's difficult, I have to decide and make my choice

Time to react: it's clear

I only have one thought in my head: I've got to seduce her

Before I miss out we have to hook up

But I must try to stay calm

Because the sight of this hottie already has me worked up

So hypnotized, deep In thought, I don't dare

No, no, no, give me a little longer

Now is a bad time

I know, I don't have all day but I can take my time

As long as she wants me to put the moves on her

That swaying body, I like it, too bad for Kool Shen

I don't let her go, I follow, like a pro should

Never, never two rabbits with one shot (see comment)

So for hours

Refrain 2:

She drove me crazy for hours

She drove me crazy for hours (x 4)

Verse 3: Kool Shen

Oh, they gave me hell for hours

I sat on a bench against the radiator

I had so many things to do

I told them this again and again, but there was nothing I could do

It definitely was nor my day:

Woken up by rock, I didn't get off to a good start

There are days like this where nothing goes well

There are days where everything goes to hell, everything sinks

Verse 3: Joey Starr

Speak for yourself, Neshé (see below), for me it was awesome

I spent the day with one bad girl

A bitch straight out of a magazine

Lots better than the best of your girlfriends

So, I will let you imagine the rest

I won't draw you a picture, I might be cut out of the video

Anyway, without respite, without a break

For hours and hours

Refrain:

I turned her on for hours

I turned her on for hours (x 4)
