Belsunce breakdown
Bouga Lyrics

D'où je sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
I come from the heart of Belsunce, a neighborhood in Marseille, and I am proud to represent it through my music.

Tout part et vient d'ici
Everything that matters in my life comes from Belsunce, including my friends, my experiences and my music.

Tu contestes? Prépare ton testament, gars
Don't mess with me or with Belsunce, or you'll face serious consequences.

Belsunce fleuron des quartiers phocéens
Belsunce is a shining example of the vibrant and diverse neighborhoods of Marseille.

Coincés entre la gare et le vieux port
We might be sandwiched between the train station and the old harbor, but we are the lifeblood of this city.

On est pas les plus à plaindre
We are not the ones to complain or to seek pity, despite the hardships that we face every day.

À domicile comme à l'extérieur
We are strong and resilient both at home and away from our neighborhood.

On sévit sur les cafards comme le Baygon
We are the pest control of Belsunce, and we eradicate any obstacle or enemy that stands in our way.

Pour l'heure chacun s'occupe comme il peut
Everyone in Belsunce finds their own way to express themselves and contribute to the community, whether through art, sports, or music.

À représenter le quartier, ouais, le quartier
We take pride in representing our neighborhood and showcasing its unique culture and identity to the world.

Certains font des T-shirts
Some of us create T-shirts and other merchandise that celebrate Belsunce and its spirit of resilience and creativity.

Et d'autres sont champions, ou chanteurs reconnus
Others in our neighborhood have achieved fame and success in sports or music, and we look up to them as role models.

Tout ça sort de la rue
Everything that we create and achieve in Belsunce comes from the streets and the people who inhabit them.

Hein? Qui l'eut cru? Pas eux en tout cas
No one outside of Belsunce could have foreseen the power and potential of our neighborhood, but we knew it all along.

La nuit et calme sur l'ensemble de mon front
Despite the challenges and dangers that we face, I am at peace with myself and proud of what I represent.

Pas de rêve, gars une trêve, dort très peu
I have no time for dreaming, and I am always on the lookout for any potential threats or opportunities for my community.

Les factions sont sur le qui-vive
I am aware of the conflicts and tensions that exist within Belsunce and I am ready to defend my neighborhood if need be.

On est pas à l'abri d'une sale coup
We know that anything can happen in Belsunce, and we are always prepared for the worst.

Beaucoup sont déçus
Despite our resilience, many in Belsunce have been let down by broken promises and unfulfilled hopes.

Et ça cause des plaies à l'âme que l'on n'peut oublier
The wounds of disappointment and betrayal run deep in our community, and they cannot be forgotten easily.

Impossible aussi d'oublier ceux qui sont tombés
We also honor and remember those who have fallen, whether they were good or bad, and we keep their memory alive.

Bons ou mauvais
We do not judge people in Belsunce based on their past or their mistakes, but rather on their actions and their loyalty to the community.

On en garde un souvenir impérissable
The memories and legacies of those who have shaped Belsunce will live on forever.

Si un jour j'deviens vieux
If I ever grow old, which I doubt given the life that I lead, I will look back on Belsunce and write a book about its rich history and culture.

Belsunce Breakdown!
Belsunce is not just a place, it is a state of mind, a way of life, and a movement for change and progress in Marseille and beyond.
