Dreamin'
Youssoupha/Indila/Skalpovich Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Miss me miss me, you are the one who makes me feel
Makes me feel for real
In the night in the night, you know when I close my eyes
I can hear your voice for ever
I'm dreaming, singing, hoping, smiling
Giving flying falling, fighting, crying, living, writing when you love me
I'm dreaming, singing, hoping, smiling
Giving flying falling, fighting, crying, living, writing when you love me

J'écris des textes en relief juste avec des rimes plates
J'ai pas changé mes rêves contre un chèque de 1000 plaque
Quand je suis en concert et que le public back
C'est grâce a Philo mon frère big up a mon big black
Je suis parti de mon bled forcé sous les bruits de balles
Dans la rue les murs ont des oreilles et les briques parlent
Rap de référence tu sais je ne biz pas, espérant que ce putain de show biz ne me brise pas
D'une manière ou d'une autre rêvais de toucher le ciel
Je pouvais pas être astronaute alors j'ai fait de la scène
J'ai un pied sur terre, l'autre dans le vide
Un pied dans le superficiel, l'autre dans le din
J'ai un cœur chez les miens, un cœur chez les fous
Un cœur sur la main, un cœur au milieu de la foule
En guise de refrain pour le public qui m'entoure,
Y a cette voix qui revient pour vous dire tout mon amour

Miss me miss me, you are the one who makes me feel
Makes me feel for real
In the night in the night, you know when I close my eyes
I can hear your voice for ever
I'm dreaming, singing, hoping, smiling
Giving flying falling, fighting, crying, living, writing when you love me
I'm dreaming, singing, hoping, smiling
Giving flying falling, fighting, crying, living, writing when you love me

J'allume une bougie pour éclairer nos remords
Je me bouge vite pour ne pas rester dehors
Le temps s'écoule vite donc on a besoin de l'or
J'ai le flow de LL Cool J quand j'ai besoin de loves
J'ai une main sur mes proches l'autre sur une femme
J'ai une main sur le microphone l'autre sur une arme
Le succès est de taille mais faut garder nos repères
Plus belle sera la médaille plus lourd sera le revers
J'écris ces quelques lignes car souvent je m'y perd
La défaite est orpheline la victoire a mille pères
J'ai un œil sur nos vie un œil sur le monde
Un œil sur mon fils un œil sur la montre
Ma vie sans la foule triste anesthésie
Quand je soufre pour vous je souffre avec plaisir
En guise de refrain pour le public qui m'entoure
Ya cette voix qui revient pour vous dire tout mon amour

Miss me miss me, you are the one who makes me feel
Makes me feel for real
In the night in the night, you know when I close my eyes
I can hear your voice for ever
I'm dreaming, singing, hoping, smiling
Giving flying falling, fighting, crying, living, writing when you love me
I'm dreaming, singing, hoping, smiling
Giving flying falling, fighting, crying, living, writing when you love me

No one else but you
I'm nothing without you
I don't want it to end
My love is in your hands

No one else but you
I'm nothing without you




I don't want it to end
My love is in your hands

Overall Meaning

The song "Dreamin'" by Youssoupha featuring Indila is a heartfelt tribute to Youssoupha's dreams of being a successful rapper and the people who have helped him along the way. The chorus of the song is a declaration of love to a significant other who makes him feel alive and real. In the night, he can hear her voice forever and he is inspired to dream, sing, hope, smile, fly, fall, fight, cry, live and write because of her love.


The first verse of the song is a reflection on Youssoupha's journey as a rapper. He talks about how he writes lyrics with intricate rhymes and refuses to sell out his dreams for a quick paycheck. He thanks his brother Philo and the audience who supports him. He talks about growing up in a tough neighborhood where the walls had ears and the streets were dangerous. He dreamed of touching the sky but since he couldn't become an astronaut, he became a successful rapper on stage. However, he remains grounded and has divided his heart between his family and his fans.


The second verse is a reflection on the challenges of success. Youssoupha talks about how he lights a candle to illuminate his regrets, moves quickly so as not to be left outside and cherishes time because it is valuable. He boasts about his flowing rhymes like LL Cool J and his skill with both a microphone and a gun. He talks about how success is a two-sided coin and he has to always be mindful of his bearings. He talks about how he gets lost in writing lyrics and loses track of time, and reminds himself that defeat is lonely but victory has many fathers. He concludes that his life is devoted to his family, his fans, and his watch, which reminds him of how he has to balance everything.
