La vie normale [English translation]

[Bridge 1: Bigflo & Oli]

I would have been a great Ibiza DJ

Have some gold chains, make millions and billions

Be popular, eat nothing else but caviar

But for now I'm chocked, I think I got stuck

[Verse1: Bigflo]

I'm trying to be an advocate for humility

Even if I do thousands of shows

People tell me: Biggy, don't lose touche with reality

You know this life won't last forever

Even though I don't live in a Palace, it's not me

Yeah, you need to know

After the Zenith I slept in my single bed

With my feet poking out

It's true I'm going from one life to the other, from caviar to mikado

I eat in fancy restaurant with the elite, next day I'm in McDonalds

People imagine there would be kinky girls in my rooms after the show

Actually, I'm on the phone arguing with my girlfriend

Drop that beat again!

It's the only thing soothing me, still waiting for Kim K 's number

Young man, better be an illustrious stranger than... a little star

I hang out with dude who won Oscars

Some popular hunks, I'm going to cocktails, parties but I'd rather be with my friends

I feel good with them, nothing changed, still the same

I've performed in clubs and been rejected by the bouncer there the next day!

Stop playin' victims. All right, I did buy a flat

You must be super rich. I have more money than I dreamed of, but

There's no VIP when you go to bathrooms, gas stations or supermarkets

By the way, not that long ago, I saw a guy I knew from high school

He told me: "I've seen you're really taking' off", I said: "What about you?"

He stopped, and said: "Well, you know, normal life".

[Bridge 1: Bigflo & Oli]

I would have been a great Ibiza DJ

Have some gold chains, make millions and billions

Be popular, eat nothing else but caviar

But for now I'm chocked, I think I got stuck in normal life

[Chorus: Bigflo & Oli]

Normal life

Normal life

Normal life

Normal life

It's us! It's you! We represent normal life

I swear it's us! It's you! We represent normal life

[Verse 2: Oli]

I swear I'm trying but I can't! When you act like a star people talk, you know

Far away from those no-go parties, 'cause I prefer grenadine over champagne

I have a foot in each camp and I'm sitting on the fence, trying to find my place

'Till the day my dream life will collapse and scrap all my pads

I look at the others dreaming of wearing velvet jackets, of fashion shows

I'm still the nerd hanging in the back of the playground, I'll never be stylished

And I make records, to perform, and I perform to get out of my bedroom

And I get out of my bedroom to seize the opportunity, and then wait or give from January to December.

People say success goes to your head when you move away from your city and friends

When people stop me I'm happier than the guy asking for a photo

But you know, I've been dreaming of performing and being an artist since I was a kid but even

When shows are sold out I feel like I'm doing an opening act

You know that, I'm a nice guy! No need to do too much

You know it, I'm a simple guy, and I enjoy writing in the subway

I wanted to prove that I'm a sane guy you can talk to just as before

But I gotta leave you... (beep beep) my driver's waiting!

[Bridge 1: Bigflo & Oli]

I would have been a great Ibiza DJ

Have some gold chains, make millions and billions

Be popular, eat nothing else but caviar

But for now I'm chocked, I think I got stuck in normal life

[Chorus: Bigflo & Oli]

Normal life

Normal life

Normal life

Normal life

It's us! It's you! We represent normal life

I swear it's us! It's you! We represent normal life

[Bridge 2: Bigflo & Oli]

When it all stops, man you need courage

Too many were acting proud when I asked for an autograph

I told them, never mind, but when real life catches up on you

Alone in your bed, forget about the flashing noises of the photographs

When it all stops, man you need courage

Too many were acting proud when I asked for an autograph

I told them, never mind, but when real life catches up on you

Alone in your bed, forget about the flashing noises of the photographs

[Bridge 3: Bigflo & Oli]

(This one goes to friends, family, buddies

To our city!

We're trying to stay the same

You can see us! (in real life)

We've seen you hanging out at Ibiza

No gold chains but aiming for the billions

Among popular people, tasting the caviar

Stop lying to us, it's been a long time you don't live normal life!
