Maudit Land Lyrics (English Translation) – Ziak

Maudit Land (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The chorus is Ziak calling out people who haven’t experienced real violence or street life. He mentions a Kalashnikov, a powerful weapon, as a symbol of that harsh reality. He’s saying if you’ve never seen that kind of danger, you should feel lucky. He feels like he’s been stuck with bad luck since the moment he wakes up, and though his parents gave him more emotionally, he still struggles with the curse of his circumstances.

[Verse]
Here, Ziak talks about how much effort he’s put into surviving a hard life. He says people forget how much work he’s done, doing more than the average person just to get by. He mentions doing creative things with language and trying to pay off old family debts. His goal is to earn enough money to secure land or homes for his loved ones. He criticizes the idea that life is easy or perfect—it’s actually full of pain and struggle. He lives in Paris but stays in a rough area, dressing like a decent guy while observing others around him in tough situations, like parents battling alcoholism. He smokes and pushes his own boundaries, finding comfort in rum and music, which he says is in his blood. From his school days, he’s always felt like bad luck follows him. He doesn’t have space in his life for fake or weak people. He throws in references to famous musicians, showing his ambition, and says he’s surrounded by guys who are ready for violence if needed.

[Chorus]
Ziak repeats the idea that most people don’t know what real danger looks like, and if they haven’t had to face guns and street violence, they should be grateful. He says again that from the moment his day starts, it feels like he’s cursed. He even says his clients—probably in some shady business—have given him more support or money than his own father did. It’s a bitter truth that highlights how messed up things are. He repeats that line about the Kalashnikov to stress how far people are from understanding his world, and how his pain and past keep repeating like a cycle every morning.
