Présent sur l'album Les chemins du retour, ce morceau prône une révolution calme, une révolution dans la tête, un nouveau mode de pensée qui consiste à fédérer et non à foutre la merde comme on fait dans les autre révolutions!

An interpolation of “Laisse Tomber Les Filles” originally performed by France Gall.

Translation:

Leave the girls alone
Leave the girls alone
[or] One day it’ll be you they will leave
Leave the girls alone
Leave the girls alone
[or] One day it’ll be you they will leave

Yes, I cried, but on that day
No, I won’t cry
No, I won’t cry
Yes, I cried, but on that day
I won’t cry
I won’t cry

You should forget the girls, because one day they will forget you. He’s cried before, but now he’s cold to that kind of thing.

Stop playing with those girls' hearts, because one day, a girl that you truly love will play with yours. That day, the girl you tricked won’t cry, she will be rather happy that you’ve had a taste of your own medicine.

Meaning of the original song, written by Serge Gainsbourg:

  • Stop playing those girls, or you’ll end up alone (by playing each and every one of them).

  • She cried the day you played with her heart, but the day you end up alone, she won’t cry.

Un Booska d'or est une distinction honorant les artistes ayant atteints la barre symbolique des 100 000 vues avec un clip.

Malgré l'ampleur qu'ils commencent à prendre, ils représentent toujours pour Youssoupha une récompense “underground”, et n'offre pas une grande publicité à l'artiste (comparé aux Grammy Awards par exemple, qui assurent à l'artiste qui le remporte une médiatisation financièrement viable!)

Référence à son procès où son frère l'a balancé. Il compare son frère à Judas, l'homme qui, selon la Bible, a trahi Jésus pour les romains.

Pour lui, il vaut mieux vivre avec une maladie grave comme le sida, qu'avec une morale de traitre. On remarquera le champ lexical du sang avec les mots “sang” et “sida” (qui se développe dans les cellules du sang)
