Roule Lyrics in English Soprano

Home / Lyrics Translation / Soprano / Roule

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Roule by Soprano from French to English.

The day's breaking

Life starts again

Gotta fill the bowl

But still smiling

Loved ones call

They check on me

My smile lies to them

Nothing's like before

I pretend

Among the crowd

I sing, I dance but when night comes

Your absence and your crazy laugh

Make too much noise, can't sleep

So I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

Through the streets of my city

Tear in my eye, knot in my stomach

I remake the world with what-ifs

Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

Till the end of the night

I speed up, middle finger up

Cursing your f*cking disease

We think of you

We cry sometimes

We ask why

But that's life

At least this time, your pain's gone

You rest in peace, we believe in heaven

You wanted us strong

You wanted us happy

So I got back to working out

I'm doing my best

But at night your memory

Makes too much noise, can't sleep

So I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

Through the streets of my city

Tear in my eye, knot in my stomach

I remake the world with what-ifs

Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

Till the end of the night

I speed up, middle finger up

Cursing your f*cking disease

Nothing'll be like before

It's time to move on

It's time to say goodbye

But on insomnia's platform

Every train leads me to him

So like every night

Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

Through the streets of my city

Tear in my eye, knot in my stomach

I remake the world with what-ifs

Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

Till the end of the night

I speed up, middle finger up

Cursing your f*cking disease

Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

Through the streets of my city

Tear in my eye, knot in my stomach

I remake the world with what-ifs

Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

Till the end of the night

I speed up, middle finger up

Cursing your f*cking disease

SONG MEANING

Roule is a heartfelt road-trip through grief. By day, Soprano forces a smile, answers calls from friends and pretends that everything is “like before.” Yet once darkness falls, he slips behind the wheel and rolls through the empty streets of his city, eyes wet, stomach in knots. The car stereo blasts, the engine roars, and his middle finger jabs at the night as he curses the illness that stole someone he loved. Each kilometer is a conversation with memories: If only… he thinks, replaying moments and impossible scenarios while insomnia rides shotgun.

Despite its sadness, the song is powered by resilience. Soprano promises to stay strong, pick up sports, and honor the wish of the departed to see their friends “happy and tough.” The chorus’s repeated “je roule” is both a literal drive and a symbol of moving forward. “Roule” reminds us that healing is messy—tears, anger, laughter, and late-night drives can all share the same journey toward peace.
