Eolienne Lyrics – La Fouine

Eolienne Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: La Fouine]
La Fouine kicks things off with a confident and almost defiant tone. He says “La vie d’ma mère” (a phrase that expresses seriousness or commitment, meaning “I swear on my mother’s life”), implying that he’s so sure of his success that no one can shake him. He also addresses “Fouiny” (a nickname or reference to himself) and mentions removing the autotune, indicating he wants to show his raw, unfiltered talent.

[Couplet 1: La Fouine]
In this verse, La Fouine talks about his rise from humble beginnings, comparing himself to famous football manager Guardiola, showing that he’s come from nothing but has reached a high level. He references his wealth and lifestyle, mentioning “BBL” (possibly referring to expensive possessions or upgrades). He’s always armed, ready for anything, and his success has brought envy. His wealth attracts certain people, including women who are interested in his money. He also mentions the illegal side of his hustle—selling drügs (“blanche” refers to coc*ine) and how quickly money can come and go, comparing it to fast-rising football player Bellingham. He’s loyal to his gang, stating there’s no snitching in his circle, and he’s always ready to defend himself and his crew. The reference to “Ciryl Gane” (a fighter known for his skill) suggests that he’s taken down rivals in his life, perhaps metaphorically or literally, emphasizing his tough, fearless attitude.

[Refrain: La Fouine & La Fève]
In the chorus, La Fouine and La Fève describe the tension and animosity they face as they enter spaces where others envy or resent their success. The term “éolienne” (windmill) is used to express how people are quickly blowing them off or turning away in jealousy, symbolizing that kind of rejection. However, they still manage to take what they want, even leaving with someone else’s partner, illustrating their confidence and ability to navigate the scene.

[Couplet 2: La Fève]
La Fève’s verse dives deeper into the harsh realities of their lifestyle. He expresses that he has no regrets for his past actions, not feeling the need to apologize for the crimes he’s committed. He reflects on moments when he was caught up in illegal activities, facing flashbacks of his past. He’s close with La Fouine, someone who knows him well and accepts him without question. The line “Ma géné, elle s’enfonce” refers to how his family’s situation is sinking, yet society calls it “progress,” hinting at how they are stuck in a cycle of poverty and crime, despite being told things are improving. He recognizes that people view him as a problem because of his lifestyle, yet he doesn’t care. He reflects on past mistakes and how he’s learned from them. He’s moving forward, always progressing, with an unbothered attitude. He mentions how he’s been in situations where he had to escape, traveling to different places like Atlanta, but ultimately, his goal is to secure more money to avoid falling into a bad situation. He stays low-key, avoids the spotlight, and focuses on making money for survival.

[Refrain: La Fève]
In the second chorus, La Fève reinforces the idea that they move confidently, despite the hatred or jealousy from others. The phrase “éolienne” again symbolizes how people try to ignore them, but the duo doesn’t let it bother them. They continue their hustle, even leaving with someone else’s girl, further asserting their dominance in the game and their ability to take what they want while others watch, resentful but powerless.
