Cool Lyrics in English Kendji Girac

Home / Lyrics Translation / Kendji Girac / Cool

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cool by Kendji Girac from French to English.

I've spent hours singing late at night

To have a little fun or to kill boredom

For fun, to flirt with the girls

Not to end up in magazines

I didn't think I could touch people's hearts

But fate decided otherwise

Here I am in front of you on stage

Giving you my love and my pain

There were the sets, there were the photos

There were the TVs, and city after city

When it'll stop, I don't know

I even sang a serenade to Eva Longoria

Everything's changed, I've gone

From the shadows to the light

But I'm playing it cool, cool, cool

It's true I'd dreamed of it so much

And I roll, roll, roll

Even without knowing where I'm going

I play it cool, cool, cool

I don't plan to change

And I roll, roll, roll

With those who love me, who love me

I spent nights playing my guitar

I dreamed of shows, never of fame

To have fun, spend wild nights

Not to become a star or an idol

Luck decided to smile on my life

Since then I spend my time using my voice

I never thought I'd make the front page

I feel ready to grab the Moon

There were the tours, crowds by the thousand

Views by the million, on TV

If fate ends it all tomorrow

I don't know where I'll go

But I know where I'm from

Everything's changed, I've gone

From the shadows to the light

But I'm playing it cool, cool, cool

It's true I'd dreamed of it so much

And I roll, roll, roll

Even without knowing where I'm going

I play it cool, cool, cool

I don't plan to change

And I roll, roll, roll

With those who love me

But I'm playing it cool, cool, cool

It's true I'd dreamed of it so much

And I roll, roll, roll

Even without knowing where I'm going

I play it cool, cool, cool

I don't plan to change

And I roll, roll, roll

With those who love me, who love me

But I'm playing it cool, cool, cool

It's true I'd dreamed of it so much

And I roll, roll, roll

Even without knowing where I'm going

I play it cool, cool, cool

I don't plan to change

And I roll, roll, roll

With those who love me

But I'm playing it cool, cool, cool

It's true I'd dreamed of it so much

And I roll, roll, roll

Even without knowing where I'm going

I play it cool, cool, cool

I don't plan to change

And I roll, roll, roll

With those who love me, who love me

Cool

SONG MEANING

Bright spotlights, catchy guitar strums, and a grin you can almost hear - that is the energy Kendji Girac bottles in “Cool”. The French singer looks back on nights spent singing purely for fun: jamming to fight boredom, charm friends, and dream of concerts, never of fame. Then luck flipped the switch. One moment he was in the shadows, the next he was posing for photos, stacking up millions of views, and even serenading Eva Longoria. The verses trace this whirlwind rise while reminding us that every highlight reel starts with humble, after-hours practice.

Yet the chorus keeps everything grounded: Je la joue cool, cool, cool. Kendji rolls forward without knowing where the road leads, determined not to change and always taking along the people who genuinely love him. The song is a breezy, feel-good pledge to stay authentic when success hits. “Cool” invites listeners to chase passion, welcome surprises, and most of all keep their feet on the ground and their vibe laid-back, no matter how bright the lights get.
