Translation of the song lyrics Petit coquin - DJ Skorp, Disiz La Peste

Petit coquin (original)

Oh, petit coquin, t’es devenu quelqu’un
Oh, petit coquin, t’es devenu quelqu’un
Tu viens des bidonvilles, Grand Dakar ou Médine
Bah oui, c’est dur la vie, bah oui, c’est dur la vie
Écoute ma mélodie, c’est pour les p’tits d’mon bled
C’est pour les p’tits d’ma ville qui taffent pour la vie belle
Qui rêvent de partir loin, loin des rêves immobiles
Bonheur, ni plus ni moins, jolie automobile
Qui reviennent dix ans plus tard, du jour au lendemain
Le cœur rempli d’histoires, des cadeaux plein les mains
Oh, petit coquin, t’es devenu quelqu’un
Oh, petit coquin, t’es devenu quelqu’un
Oh, petit coquin, t’es devenu quelqu’un
Maintenant, t’as un compte plein, t’es parti de rien
Tu viens de Brazzaville, tu viens de Kinshasa
Tu viens de Centrafrique, passe mon bonjour là-bas
Tu viens de Cotonou, tu viens de Libreville
On est de potos, nous, on est des libres types
Tu viens de Abidjan, t’es devenu quelqu’un
Tu fermes la bouche des gens, espèce de p’tit coquin
Guinée-Bissau, Guinée-Conakry
Coquin de Bamako, coquin venu d’Afrique
Oh, petit coquin, t’es devenu quelqu’un
Oh, petit coquin, t’es devenu quelqu’un
Oh, petit coquin, t’es devenu quelqu’un
Maintenant, t’as un compte plein, t’es parti de rien
Tous ceux qui n’y croyaient pas, tous ceux qui ne rêvaient pas
Tous ceux qui n’te voyaient pas, aujourd’hui ne voient que toi (encore)
Tous ceux qui n’y croyaient pas, tous ceux qui ne rêvaient pas
Tous ceux qui n’te voyaient pas, aujourd’hui ne voient que toi
Bah oui, c’est dur la vie, bah oui, c’est dur la vie
Bah oui, c’est dur la vie, bah oui, c’est dur la vie
Mais faut dire: «Hamdoullah», oui, faut dire: «Hamdoullah»
Faut dire: «Hamdoullah», hamdoullah
Hamdoullah, hamdoullah
Hamdoullah, hamdoullah
Hamdoullah, hamdoullah
Hamdoullah, hamdoullah
Maintenant, j’ai un compte plein, maintenant, j’ai un compte plein
Maintenant, j’ai un compte plein (maintenant, j’ai un compte plein)
Hamdoullah, hamdoullah
Hamdoullah

Petit coquin (translation)

Oh, little rascal, you have become someone
Oh, little rascal, you have become someone
You come from the slums, Grand Dakar or Medina
Well yes, it's hard life, well yes, it's hard life
Listen to my melody, it's for the little ones in my village
It's for the little ones in my town who work for the good life
Who dream of going far away, far from motionless dreams
Happiness, no more no less, pretty car
Who come back ten years later, overnight
Heart full of stories, hands full of gifts
Oh, little rascal, you have become someone
Oh, little rascal, you have become someone
Oh, little rascal, you have become someone
Now you got a full account, you started with nothing
You come from Brazzaville, you come from Kinshasa
You are from Central Africa, pass my hello there
You come from Cotonou, you come from Libreville
We're peeps, we're free guys
You come from Abidjan, you have become someone
You shut people's mouths, you little rascal
Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry
Rascal from Bamako, rascal from Africa
Oh, little rascal, you have become someone
Oh, little rascal, you have become someone
Oh, little rascal, you have become someone
Now you got a full account, you started with nothing
All those who did not believe in it, all those who did not dream
All those who didn't see you, today only see you (again)
All those who did not believe in it, all those who did not dream
All those who didn't see you, today only see you
Well yes, it's hard life, well yes, it's hard life
Well yes, it's hard life, well yes, it's hard life
But you have to say: "Hamdoullah", yes, you have to say: "Hamdoullah"
Must say: "Hamdoullah", hamdoullah
Hamdullah, hamdullah
Hamdullah, hamdullah
Hamdullah, hamdullah
Hamdullah, hamdullah
Now I got a full account, now I got a full account
Now I got a full account (Now I got a full account)
Hamdullah, hamdullah
Hamdullah
