Angèle | La Thune Lyrics Translated into English

La Thune paroles in English

[Verse 1]
Tout le monde, il veut seulement la thune
Everyone, wants only the cash

Et seulement ça, ça les fait bander
And with only that, it makes them hard

Tout le monde, il veut seulement la fame (It should be “Tout le monde veut”)
Everyone, wants only the fame (French speakers use a lot English words)

Et seulement ça, ça les fait bouger
And with only that, it makes them move

Bouger leur culs le temps d’un verre
Move their ass the time of a drink

Photo sur Insta’, c’est obligé
Picture on Insta, that’s obliged

Sinon, au fond, à quoi ça sert ?
Then, basically, what’s the use?

Si c’est même pas pour leur montrer
If it’s not even to show to them

[Chorus 1]
Et puis à quoi bon ?
And what’s the point?

T’es tellement seul derrière ton écran
You’re so lonely behind your screen

Tu penses à c’que vont penser les gens
You think about what will people think

Mais tu les laisses tous indifférents, oh, oh
But you make them all indifferent, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Peut-être, je devrais m’éloigner
Perhaps, should I go away

Loin du game, loin du danger
Away from the game, away from the danger

Mais j’avoue, j’aime bien jouer
But I confess, I enjoy playing

Si c’est de moi dont on va parler
If it’s me that we are going to talk about

Où j’oublie tout et je m’en vais
Or I forget all and I go

Moi, je m’en vais marcher
Me, I go away for a walk

Naïve comme jamais
Naive like never

Loin des regards armés
Away from armed lookings

[Chorus 2]
À quoi bon ?
What’s the point?

T’es tellement seul derrière ton écran
You’re so lonely behind your screen

Tu penses à c’que vont penser les gens
You think about what will people think

Mais tu les laisses tous indifférents
But you make them all indifferent

[Verse 3]
Et puis à quoi bon ?
And then what’s the point?

T’es tellement seul avec ton argent
You’re so lonely with all your money

Tu sais même pas pourquoi t’es tout l’temps
You don’t even know why you’re all the time

Avec des michtos sans sentiments
With gold diggers without feelings

Au fond, j’avoue que même moi
Basically, I confess that even me

Je fais partie de ces gens-là
I am part of these people

Rassurée quand les gens, ils m’aiment
Reassured when people, they love me

Et si c’est très superficiel
And if it’s too much superficial

[Bridge]
Tout le monde, il veut seulement la thune
(Tout le monde, il veut seulement la thune)
Everyone, wants only the cash
(Everyone, wants only the cash)

Et seulement ça, ça les fait bander
(Tout le monde, il veut seulement la thune)
And only that, it makes them hard
(Everyone, wants only the cash)

Tout le monde, il veut seulement la fame
(Tout le monde, il veut seulement la fame)
Everyone, wants only the fame
(Everyone, wants only the fame)

Et seulement ça, ça les fait bouger
(Tout le monde, il veut seulement la fame)
And only that, it makes them move
(Everyone, wants only the fame)

[Chorus 3]
Et puis à quoi bon ?
(Tout le monde, il veut seulement la thune)
And then what’s the point?
(Everyone, wants only the cash)

T’es tellement seul derrière ton écran
(Tout le monde, il veut seulement la thune)
You’re so lonely behind your screen
(Everyone, wants only the cash)

Tu penses à ce que vont penser les gens
(Tout le monde, il veut seulement la fame)
You think about what will people think
(Everyone, wants only the fame)

Mais tu les laisses tous indifférents
(Tout le monde, il veut seulement la fame)
But you make them all indifferent
(Everyone, wants only the fame)

[Outro]
À quoi bon ?
What’s the point?

À quoi bon ?
What’s the point?

À quoi bon ?
What’s the point?

About the song “La Thune”:

“La Thune” is the first song of the young Belgian singer Angèle. This song is from her excellent and first album “Brol” released in 2018. You can find in this album the songs of “Balance ton quoi” and “Tout oublier”. This single is one of the first 3 to have been unveiled before the release of the album. In this song, she is singing about how people can be superficial on social networks and showing off their money. She denounces the fact that everyone wants to be seen and to be loved by all and it is kind of sad. 

 About Angèle:

Angèle became famous thanks to her Instagram account where she posted tons of pictures and videos. Her first single “La loi de Murphy”, “ Murphy’s law” allows her to be famous by the general public. After that, she started to play in France and Belgium at some festivals and concerts. Now, she is a super popular artist and you might listen to her songs on the radio in France.
