Pas de panique
Keith Kouna Lyrics


J'ouvre le frigo
Et puis je tombe dans le vide
Entre un vieux spaghatte au pesto
Et un oignon qui agonise
Je bats des ailes et je m'ennuie
Je ne vends pas de disques
Je m'imagine une autre vie
Pleine de succès et de fric
On me voit partout
Je fais tous les plateaux de télévision
Je fais le beau devant les radios
Et je chante pour les cons
Tout ça me mène jusqu'à l'ADISQ
Et le vote du public
Je monte sur la scène hystérique
Et j'embrasse mon Félix
Je remercie père et mère
Et tous les Québécois
En ajoutant que je suis fier
Parce que je fais mon rock à moi

Mais j'entends des voix qui me disent
Des voix qui me disent

Indie
Trendy
Hipster
Preppy
"Je m'a" fais musique et baise
J'ai les cheveux et le style
Pour grimper sur les palmarès
Et aux jambes des filles
Mon côté rebelle et artiste
Séduit les matantes, les mamans
Qui se disent que j's'rais un bon fils
Un bon gendre ou un bon amant
En tournée, j'exige dans ma loge
Des craquelins et des fromages fins
Un Bordeaux et quelques Bourgogne
Un PlayStation et des coussins
Avec le band, on parle des bitchs
On s'fait des tracks à l'hôtel
Je cause allègrement de Nietzsche
De Sade et puis de Machiavel
C'est tripatif, je suis très rock
Mais j'ai de la cervelle
J'me déplace en van pis je dis fuck
Au système en touchant ma paye

Mais j'entends des voix qui me disent
Des voix qui me disent

"Kouna, n'oublie pas Hydro"
Hé, pas de panique
J'vais payer tout ça bientôt
Et je donnerai du tip

"Kouna, y a le proprio"
Hé, pas de panique
Y a déjà l'type des impôts
Avec qui je m'explique

Oui, toujours ces voix qui me disent
Ces voix qui me disent

Schling, schling, schling
Le temps passe pis ch't'un peu moins in
Y faut que j'me démène
Pour ne pas devenir un has-been
Pis vendre mon condo sur la Main
Je fais des pubs de cellulaires
De bagnoles ou de bières
Entre deux tournées d'promotion
Pis toutes mes collaborations
Je me positionne contre la guerre
Contre la famine et la misère
Et contre le pire des fléaux
Les téléchargements illégaux
Sinon, j'fais une sortie publique
Et un petit scandale
Quand les radios boudent ma shit
Ou qu'on m'booke pas d'un festival

Mais j'entends des voix qui me disent
Des voix qui me disent

"Kouna, y a plus d'haricots"
Hé, pas de panique
Il reste encore un kilo
De champignons magiques

"Kouna, trouve-toi un boulot"
Hé, pas de panique
Je n'veux pas finir trop tôt
À l'aile psychiatrique

Oui, toujours ces voix qui me disent
Ces voix qui me disent

Oh, je referme le frigo
Et je me Grenache une miche
Ensuite, je me booke un autre show
Pour cent piasses à Saint-Meu-Meu-du-Christ
J'pourrais p't-être trouver le bonheur
Et gagner plein de foin
En faisant des disques de covers
Des années quatre-vingt
Ou en écrivant des rengaines
Pour des Star Académiciennes
Avant que j'finisse par me mettre
À cuisiner du crystal meth
J'm'attaque à un hit du tonnerre
Un hit avec un hook
Mais j'finis par m'ouvrir une bière
Pis je glande sur Facebook

Et j'entends des voix qui me disent
Des voix qui me disent

"Kouna, n'oublie pas Hydro"
Hé, pas de panique
J'vais payer tout ça bientôt
Et je donnerai du tip

"Kouna, y a le proprio"
Hé, pas de panique
Y a déjà l'type des impôts
Avec qui je m'explique

"Kouna, y a plus d'haricots"
Hé, pas de panique
Il reste encore un kilo
De champignons magiques

"Kouna, trouve-toi un boulot"
Hé, pas de panique
Je n'veux pas finir trop tôt
À l'aile psychiatrique

Oui, toujours ces voix qui me disent
Ces voix qui me disent

Translation :
I open the fridge
And then fall into the void
Between an old pesto spaghetti
And a dying onion
I flap my wing (battre de l'aile = (a bird) trying to fly with one wing, experiencing difficulties) and I am bored
I don't sell CD's anymore
I imagine myself having a different life
Full of success and cash
I'm seen everywhere
I do all the tv shows
I beg like a dog before the radio
And I sing for dummies
All this brings me to l'Adisq ( QC music industry gala)
And I kiss my Félix (trophy of l'Adisq)
I thank mother and father
And all the Quebecers
While mentionning that I'm proud
Because I do MY own rock (I do my own thing musically)

But I hear voices that are saying...

Indie
Trendy
Hipster
Preppy
I make music and I bang
I have the haircut and the style
For going up the charts
And up girl's legs (up their skirts)
My rebel and artsy side
Seduces aunties and mommies
Which are convinced that I'd make a good son
A good son-in-law or a good lover
While touring. in my green room, I request
Crackers and fine cheeses
A Bordeau and a few Bourgognes
A playstation and pillows
We talk about bitches with the band
We do lines at the hotel
I talk merrily about Nietsche
About (Marquis de) Sade and then about Machiavelli
It's trippy I am Rock
But I don't have a brain (not smart)

But I hear voices telling me...

"Kouna don't forget Hydro" ( Hydro-Québec
national electric power company)
Hey don't panic
I will pay soon
And I'll give you a tip

"Kouna, there's the landlord"
Hey don't panic
There's already the taxman
To whom I got some explainin' to do

Yes, always these voices telling me...

Schling
Schling
Schling
Time goes on and I'm 'bit less "in" ( in style)
I have to fight
To not become a has been
And sell my Condo on the Main (mainstreet)
I advertise mobiles
Cars and Beer
In between two promo tours
And all my collabs
I take a stand against war
Against famin and poverty
And against the worst plight of them all
Illegal downloading
If not, I do a little public stunt
And make a little scandal (make a scene)
When radios won't play my shit
Or I don't get booked inna music festival

But I'm hearing voices telling me...

"Kouna there ain't no more beans"
Hey don't panic
I still have a kilo
Of magic mushrooms

"Kouna find a job"
Hey don't panic
Don't want to end up too early
In the psych department

Yes, always these voices telling me...

I close back the fridge's door
And I spread Grenache caramel on a loaf of bread
Then I book another show for myself
For a 100$ to St-Meu-Meu-du-Christ ( Kouna's
version of popular vulgar fake rural village name, used to make fun of any very remote village. "Meu" or "meuh" is the sound a cow does in french. A lot of QC towns and villages have a catholic name. "Christ" can be a swear word in the same way as it is for irish catholics.)
Maybe 'could find happyness again
And make a lot of dough
By making cover albums
(of songs) from the 80's
Or composing (bad) tunes
For music reality tv stars
Before I end up starting to
Cook chrystal meth
I'm making a super hit (du tonnerre (thunder like)= impressing, popular)
A hit with a hook
But I end up opening myself a beer
And wastin' time on facebook

"Kouna don't forget Hydro"
Hey don't panic
I will pay soon
And I'll give you a tip

"Kouna, there's the landlord"
Hey don't panic
There's already the taxman
With whom I got some explainin' to do

"Kouna there ain't no more beans"
Hey don't panic
I still have a kilo
Of magic mushrooms

"Kouna find a job"
Hey don't panic
Don't want to end up too early
In the psych department

Yes, always the voices telling me...

Bonus : Keith is the basically the same but Kouna is prounced "koona"

MAGNIFIQUE! Which is probably wrong lol - I don't speak very good French at all; just enough to get by (barely). I knew about M. Kouna's lovely Paradis years ago and was introducing an American friend to it when curiosity caused me to click on more of Keith's music.I LOVE THIS!!!! :DI could (mostly) interpret Paradis; he sings slowly - in this song I haven't got a chance but it doesn't matter; it is so fun, so enjoyable. I'm quickly becoming a fan of Keith Kouna and I couldn't care less if I understand the lyrics. (A lie of course - I wish I spoke French well enough but it doesn't harm my love of his music)

Hey Magnifique is okay, it sounds a bit sophisticated but who cares? look for my comment for the translation. peace.

Merci Keith de faire "ton rock à toi"... Pour moi, cette toune est cousine de "Parasites" de Vulgaires Machins (et c'est un compliment).

Simon Lessard
