Dernière pluie (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The artist starts by expressing his desire for wealth and luxury, not just for material pleasure but to make up for the hopelessness he feels. His life has been tough, and he sees himself as someone who’s expected to fail. Inside his mind, he battles with dark thoughts, almost like he’s constantly talking to a monster that lives in his head. Looking outside, the world seems harsh and unforgiving, just like the struggles faced by the people around him. He gives a shoutout to Bab Doukkala, a place that feels like family to him, but he knows life will never be easy or sweet. He reflects on a woman in his life, acknowledging her inner beauty but also hinting at the struggles and traumas that have shaped her. When it comes to his career, he admits that while his emotions aren’t fully invested in the industry, his mind is. He feels incomplete, like something is always missing in his life. Growing up in a tough neighborhood, he has learned that love is easy to give, but hate spreads even faster. He has lost people, seen death, and can’t afford to be naive anymore. His mother always believed he would chase money, and now he is fully focused on making more. He surrounds himself with real people, those who have experienced life’s hardships. However, success has changed him—sometimes, even his mother doesn’t recognize him anymore. He uses music to process his pain but knows that he hasn’t fully dealt with everything. Despite the money and recognition, he still feels empty when a certain person isn’t around.

[Chorus]
The chorus reflects his fighting spirit—he acknowledges his growth and success but emphasizes that money hasn’t changed his core. He remains true to himself despite making tens or even hundreds of thousands. In his world, people don’t react with surprise or fear when faced with darkness; they are used to the struggle. He compares himself to a warrior, even referring to his mother as Athena, the goddess of war, while degrading those who oppose him. He takes pride in being independent, funding his own career, and taking control of his path. But despite financial success, the emotional wounds remain. He highlights that in his environment, everything has a cost—even cruelty isn’t free. The final line is cryptic but suggests that he has created something powerful out of struggle, referencing “the last rain,” which could symbolize a final attempt to cleanse or renew himself.

[Verse 2]
Here, he reflects on a low point in his life, where he was lost and directionless, like a stray cat. He acknowledges his mistakes but reminds himself that he’s only human. Every year brings new struggles, and experience is his greatest teacher. His stubbornness comes from feeling like he was never truly meant to be here, almost like he was born into a life that didn’t give him a fair chance. He compares his pride to Vegeta, a character known for his arrogance and resilience. He speaks of someone who betrayed or left him, questioning their loyalty. He knows he has hurt people, and he doubts he will ever be fully forgiven. His pain feels pure, but his anger is like a caged beast, waiting to break free. The darkness inside him has grown from chasing money, and he admits to focusing on financial success while rejecting the idea of taking shortcuts or compromising his dignity. He mentions Roqya, a spiritual practice used for protection, suggesting that despite his success, he still seeks some form of cleansing or healing. His past mistakes haunt him, and he sometimes finds himself thinking about figures like Boyka, known for their resilience in tough situations. He takes pride in overcoming the hardships of his environment, where danger was a constant presence, but ultimately, all he ever wanted was to escape and build a better life.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the idea that despite leveling up in life, his soul remains untouched by greed or corruption. He highlights the toughness of his environment, where people don’t react with fear but with strength when faced with adversity. He continues to see himself as a warrior, shaped by struggle. He proudly states that he is self-made, investing his money into his career while also acknowledging the emptiness that financial success cannot fix. He reminds us again that in his world, nothing comes for free—not even cruelty. The final line suggests that even in darkness, something new is created, almost as if he has birthed something from the pain of his past.
