Pendant 24 H Lyrics in English Grand Corps Malade , Suzane

Home / Lyrics Translation / Grand Corps Malade / Pendant 24 H

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pendant 24 H by Grand Corps Malade from French to English.

The ultimate nuance from the inside

Live this chance for 24h

The ultimate nuance from the inside

Live this chance for 24h

I'll send an email to work while shopping at Carrefour

I'll help the kids with homework while taking the quiche out of the oven

With them I'll be cheerful, with my guy a femme fatale

24h in a woman's skin, I'll get the mental load

At 4:35 pm sharp, I'll stop working

Since after that when you're a woman, well you aren't paid

I'll go out in a skirt for a few minutes on public transit

To get the very essence of the hashtag expose your pig

I'll drink whisky to feel comfy

No coke no ice like the tough dudes

I'll hit on a girl but it won't be awkward

I won't send a text saying when are we f*cking

I'll be romantic with the chicks on Tinder

No d*ck pic, hearts in every color

I'll walk at night, I won't grab an Uber

If I pass another guy, no need to be scared

But I also wanna enjoy, finally know their real power

Trash talk people with my girlfriends from dawn till dusk

And once they've left, trash talk them too

Fanny's really annoying, Solène got fat

I wanna finally taste the unique joy

Of nailing a parallel park in thirty minutes

Finally feel the sincere uncensored passion

Of surfing the net for hours looking at shoes

The ultimate nuance from the inside

Live this chance for 24h

The ultimate nuance from the inside

Live this chance for 24h

I'll grab the a*s of a buddy who's kinda pushy

So he finally gets that it's not very glam

I'll take all my time, no biological clock

If I don't want a kid, nobody will make a fuss

I'll try right away those little female hassles

Waxing, makeup, losing your keys in your purse

High heels, nail polish

And the body's monthly reminders

Being a woman, I wanna see the hell behind the decor

I could stop shaving, nobody would say it's gross

No more stomach cramps, f*ck my period

I'll say hi boss without him undressing me with his eyes

Score that raise without a candle-lit dinner

In front of my PS4 while my girl bends over backwards

I won't set the table, the match isn't over

I'll pee on the sidewalk like the neighbor's little dog

That's the upside of male physiology

The ultimate nuance from the inside

Live this chance for 24h

The ultimate nuance from the inside

Live this chance for 24h

SONG MEANING

Have you ever wished you could swap bodies just for a day and see how “the other half” really lives? Pendant 24 H turns that fantasy into a witty, eye-opening sprint through everyday life. Over a laid-back beat, Grand Corps Malade imagines himself as a woman racing from office emails to school runs, dodging cat-callers, feeling the pay gap pinch, and juggling the invisible “mental load.” Then Suzane flips the script and dreams of being a man, reveling in the freedom from biological clocks and beauty rituals while poking fun at stereotypical macho perks like sidewalk pit-stops and uninterrupted gaming.

The song is playful, but its humor shines a bright light on real gender inequalities—unequal pay, street harassment, double standards about appearance, and the pressure to have children. By letting each artist step into the other’s shoes for just 24 hours, the track invites listeners to laugh, nod in recognition, and most of all reflect on how small daily experiences add up to big social gaps. It’s empathy set to music, backed by clever wordplay and a catchy chorus that asks: what would you learn if you could live the “ultimate nuance” from the inside?
