Tiakola – Parapluie Lyrics (English Translation)
(Verse 1)
Principles over hype, the suitcase clears customs.
Never rush the process, especially when you know your ceiling.
We comfort ourselves saying we only live once, especially when we’re down bad.
France needed me, so I added a third star.
I’ve taken heavy losses, don’t worry, I won’t make a public statement.
Became the driving force, all work, never hitting pause.
“Give up?” It took me too long to get here, so before I go, I thought…
Before the night falls, I told myself, “I can’t abandon all my obstacles.”
In good times, we toast to health; now, it’s becoming a problem.
Gotta lighten the mood when my mind isn’t on high.
I need to truly feel what I thought, revisit everything that happened.
The future’s already mapped out, don’t be shocked by the deal. Not a word.
(Bridge)
They approve what we do, it’s certified, no need to make a movie.
It’s been selling all year, even through COVID.
And for those who think we’ll stray, don’t worry, we’re getting quotes.
In front of the police, play the novice. I’m Real Madrid, I’m the number nine.
(Chorus)
It’s true, we don’t stop anymore, the game is moving fast.
Outside, it’s raining bullets, I’ve already got my umbrella ready.
It’s true, sometimes we missed each other, often we held back.
She wants me to put a ring on it, but I stood my ground.
I’m not waiting for any of this to be respected.
And for our own good, please, stay away from me.
In the end, I only have to count on myself.
And for our own good, please, stay away from me.
(Bridge 2)
It’s true that we missed each other.
Often, we held back.
They want to kiss up, I don’t want their kiss, I don’t give a damn, I’m not one of them.
Only bad characters, it’s all in the mind—that’s the theme.
(Verse 2)
I’m coming with a new move to make noise in the stadium.
They say it bothers them when you don’t play the stats game.
They bite the bullet, let them believe it, they can’t keep up.
All the wounds are in the back, all the tools are in the trunk.
Watch out for this lousy life, ’cause it’s always the one close to you who stabs you.
I’m not even talking about those who owe money but still party.
Try to wait your turn, but I don’t feel at home here.
Outside, it’s pouring, you can’t leave anything, but I locked up my umbrella.
Every day, we’ve been out here, we can’t just stay home.
The price of the lease will shock you, you’d better stick to the sale prices.
The “Golden Boy” reward, the little one showed off her cleavage.
My soldiers aren’t in the mood, so calm down and step aside.
(Chorus)
It’s true, we don’t stop anymore, the game is moving fast.
Outside, it’s raining bullets, I’ve already got my umbrella ready.
It’s true, sometimes we missed each other, often we held back.
She wants me to put a ring on it, but I stood my ground.
I’m not waiting for any of this to be respected.
And for our own good, please, stay away from me.
In the end, I only have to count on myself.
And for our own good, please, stay away from me.
(Outro)
Don’t go out and get yourself hurt; it’s raining outside, you know it’s a mess.
Thugocracy—it doesn’t look like it, we probably wouldn’t give them the time of day.
A house in a palace, just to lock the mother away in a palace.
Lock the mother away in a palace… What’s she asking me for in terms of salary?
