Thibaut Courtois
Thibaut Courtois
I'd be willing to wage war1 against them, even if it meant dying for you
My position is in the defense, I'm saving balls for you
If I give others so few of my love, it's because I'm keeping it for you
Goalkeeper of your heart like a Chelsea player, it's my Courtois'2 side
I'd be willing to wage war against them, even if it meant dying for you
Not your fault so it's others', whether you're right or not
My position is in the defense, I'm saving bullets for you
Goalkeeper of your heart like a Chelsea player, it's my Courtois' side
2003 on the commuter belt, I'm listening to Jodeci
Hookah or hasch, I'll have to chose
I'm thinking of you, we're older now, when I see you I rejunevate
Fresh like Huskies, we escaped the kennel
Lost in my memories, only you and me and the police raid are left
I hate you, I contradict myself, little fragmented heart
We're crashing like Japanese imperialist pilots
I'd be willing to wage war against them, even if it meant dying for you
My position is in the defense, I'm saving bullets for you
If I give others so few of my love, it's because I'm keeping it for you
Goalkeeper of your heart like a Chelsea player, it's my Courtois' side
I'd be willing to wage war against them, even if it meant dying for you
Not your fault so it's others', whether you're right or not
My position is in the defense, I'm saving bullets for you
Goalkeeper of your heart like a Chelsea player, it's my Courtois' side
My position is in the defense yet I'm still on the offensive
A lot of them6 were surrounding you, and then I sorted through them
Athena's lance in their faces, they felt it
Do I still love you ? Mmm mmm, sensitive subject
The chalk stick is out, your ennemies can strike a pose9
The thumb downward, throw Commodus in the pit
To have you in front of me, I'd put the whole world against me
Bullets can pour in, I'll stop them
I'd even go against humanity
You're the only one I've been thinking about ever since you stung10 me
You can locate me on a cloud
Bullets can pour in, I'll stop them
I'd even go against humanity
You're the only one I've been thinking about ever since you stung me
You can locate me on a cloud
I'd be willing to wage war against them, even if it meant dying for you
My position is in the defense, I'm saving bullets for you
If I give others so few of my love, it's because I'm keeping it for you
Goalkeeper of your heart like a Chelsea player, it's my Courtois' side
I'd be willing to wage war against them, even if it meant dying for you
Not your fault so it's others', whether you're right or not
My position is in the defense, I'm saving bullets for you
Goalkeeper of your heart like a Chelsea player, it's my Courtois' side
- 1. She's saying "rre-gue" which is verlan for "guerre"/"war"
- 2. Thibaut Courtois is a soccer goalkeeper of (much like Shay herself) Belgian nationality. At the time of the release of that song, he was still playing for Chelsea. It's not uncommon for European rappers to use soccer players' names or clubs in their songs, usually it means that they're good or revered
- 3. kilometer per hour, approximately 130mph. Basically, very fast for European distances.
- 4. Shay used to be signed on Booba's, another and very popular rapper, label. He has a radio station called OKLM (either pronounced with every letter or as "Au calme"/"Peacefully" which is the slang equivalent of "chill" in Anglo Saxon countries). Of course, the radio station is extremely popular amongst youngsters since it's urban music-oriented.
- 5. Here, Shay is making a parallel with another radio station called "Nostalgie"/"Nostalgia" which exclusively broadcasts older hits and whose audience is thus, significantly older than OKLM's.
- 6. Women
- 7. She's saying "du-per" which is verlan for "perdu"
- 8. Erh, can mean anything, really. In US as well as French slang, sauce can mean style. Maybe she’s lost in his aura?
- 9. The chalk outline on a crime scene
- 10. In modern slang, "être piqué"/"to be stung" can(among others) mean "to be charmed" or "enamoured".

Impeccable.
La lance d'Athéna j'imagine que ça vient de Saint Seya ?
jetée comme odieuse dans la fosse -> Commode vient de Gladiator, j'imagine ? Ça m'étonne qu'il soit encore aussi populaire 20 ans après sa sortie.
Merci beaucoup!
Athena est fréquemment représentée avec une lance, je ne pourrais pas dire avec certitude si la référence s’inspire d’une oeuvre d’art antique ou des CDZ mais les deux sont fortement plausibles!
Les paroles ont été mal retranscrites, Shay chante en réalité « Le pouce vers le bas, jetez Commodus dans la fosse » et c’est effectivement une référence flagrante au film Gladiator ! Au delà de la popularité de ce film, vous seriez surpris du nombre de références cinématographiques dans le rap français haha. Quand on sait que le rappeur SCH (né en 1993) a su faire référence à un film de Claude Berri sorti en 1986 (« Manon des sources » avec Daniel Auteuil) dans son morceau « Morpheus », la référence de Shay à un blockbuster culte n’est plus si surprenante 😄.
It’s important to note that “balles” in this case is not only “balls” but “bullets” too.
