Below, I translated the lyrics of the song C'est Aujourd'hui Que Ça Se Passe by Grand Corps Malade from French to English.

Day to day, I claim to be

Pretty chill and patient

I don't yell, I walk slowly

I'm docile and not a pain

You can very easily

Accuse me of nonchalance

Yet, on some points

I really felt the urgency

The urgency to choose my wants

The want to choose my urgencies

Choose my fights

My refusals, my obvious truths

Choose so I act better

And stop procrastinating

To live the moment

I've made some stylish progress

Tomorrow's far away

And I'm not the one who said it

The present's precious

Inertia makes it ugly

If hope dares

When momentum spreads

Honestly, we gotta go

It's now or never

It's today

It's today it's happening

It's today

It's today it's happening

Isn't it more subversive

To stop whining

To stop fearing ourselves

To agree to join in

Since life is a game

Pretty interactive

Let's all try together

To turn it into a field of fun

It's from today

We can change things

We can chant our causes

We dare and we propose

There's some issues

That can't wait anymore

We all have a part to play

And some answers to give

The climate

Sharing

Solidarity

Being happy

Let's be up to it

It's not superhuman

To pull forward to today

What we planned for tomorrow

It's today

It's today it's happening

It's today

It's today it's happening

So our acts reflect

In a soothing future

With my DeLorean

It's back to the present

There's not much time

But there's still some room

For two or three big things

It's today it's happening

It's today

It's today it's happening

It's today

It's today it's happening

It's today

It's today it's happening

It's today

It's today it's happening

SONG MEANING

Grand Corps Malade turns carpe diem into a slam anthem in C'est Aujourd'hui Que Ça Se Passe. Behind his calm voice, the French word-smith reminds us that being “peaceful and patient” is not the same as being passive. The lyrics urge us to pick our battles, quit procrastinating, and act right now because the future is built in the present.

He flips the usual complaint-filled small talk on its head: instead of grumbling about the world, why not jump in and fix it? Climate, solidarity, simple happiness — everything is on the to-do list, and the deadline is today. With a playful shout-out to the time-traveling DeLorean, Grand Corps Malade makes it clear that the most radical move isn’t to escape to the future, but to invest in the moment we already have. The song is a rhythmic pep-talk that turns “later” into “let’s go” and turns everyday listeners into potential changemakers.
