French rap – ‘J’adore la france’ – Rebeka Foley

Some quick thoughts about my love/ennui relationship avec la France 🇫🇷

Here’s a bad translation for you 😂

I’m American, so yes, I talk loud
I’m not vegan–carnivore and proud
‘One steak please and a glass of wine’
I love France so much ’cause they always whine

When you’re in France
You just say what you mean
you can be sincere,
It’s not like in England here

I love France—
you can’t get fired any day
You request two months off for burnout,
two more for holiday

Bureaucracy
is so polite,
So helpful,
That nothing’s done right
They say “Sorry madame, c’est la vie, okay?
It’s already four o’clock, we’re closed for the day.”

That is France,
but at least they eat well,
If you want to order water,
it’s already in the wine, can’t you tell?

There are cooll bars in Paris, yeah, super chic,
But way too pricey—so you’re stuck at home drinking tea then to sleep

I can’t cook a thing because my mom is a feminist
I want good food, she shrugs, “I don’t care.”
So if you’re hosting an apéro,
Put me on the list, don’t worry, I’ll burn the quiche, yo

Now I’m back again,
we’re all in a jam,
With our shaky paychecks,
It’s all a scam,
Not stable—

Especially with lattes at 5€ on the table,
Kinda steep, not great
So I go hibernate
But maybe hibernation’s the only solution,
Since we’re all gonna die from the air pollution.

At least
there’s still good food,
Even if in France it’s taxed up the wazoo.

I learned French, but mine still sucks today
But being American makes me annoying anyway.

If you’ve got an accent, the French think you’re dumb, it’s great
Yes I learned my French from shit cassette tapes

On my couch, uncomfortable fold-out bed, in a chambre de bonne
It’s so small that you open the door when it’s your neighbors doorbell ringing – fun.
Ten square meters is your flat—let’s see how it runs,
You see no one, die alone, reading Chanson d’automne…(a very famous melancholique poem by Verlaine 😀)
