Reine Lyrics in English Dadju

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Reine by Dadju from French to English.
Seysey
Today I'm tired, I watched you sleep
And if my voice can calm you
I'll sing for you all night
I hear you telling your girlfriends
"Dadju, I can't do without him anymore"
Hey, everything's gonna slide over your skin
It's like I'm rubbing oil on you
And if they're not us, too bad for them
And if they're jealous, too bad for them
Let me know when it hurts
I'm here if I need to take the hits for us both
And I know it, I trust you
When you smile at me, you're not faking
I don't need to wait any longer
I know it's time to share my blood
And raise you to the rank of queen
To the rank of queen, to the rank of queen
I'm gonna raise you to the rank of queen
To the rank of queen, to the rank of queen
Ooh
I know love's complicated
But with you, it's easier
Keep being yourself and I don't regret choosing you
I promised your dad I'd take care of his daughter
You're part of my family and God knows how much I love my family
And if they ask you, they're curious
If they ask again, they're envious
Close the door on those who try their best
To keep us from being two when we're old
And I know it, I trust you
When you smile at me, you're not faking
I don't need to wait any longer
I know it's time to share my blood
And raise you to the rank of queen
To the rank of queen, to the rank of queen
I'm gonna raise you to the rank of queen
To the rank of queen, to the rank of queen
Enough talking, after a while there aren't any words left
That's it, I left my heart in your palm
I won't let you go, it's dead
It took me time to find you, mi amor
Whoever says we were wrong is wrong
We'll fight even against blows of fate
Enough talking, after a while there aren't any words left
That's it, I left my heart in your palm
I won't let you go, it's dead
It took me time to find you, mi amor
Whoever says we were wrong is wrong
We'll fight even against blows of fate
And I know it, I trust you
When you smile at me, you're not faking
I don't need to wait any longer
I know it's time to share my blood
And raise you to the rank of queen
To the rank of queen, to the rank of queen
Outro
I'm gonna raise you to the rank of queen
To the rank of queen, to the rank of queen
To the rank of, to the rank of
I'm gonna raise you to the rank of queen
To the rank of, to the rank of
Let me raise you to the rank of queen

SONG MEANING

Dadju’s “Reine” is a modern fairy-tale love song straight from the heart of Paris. Over gentle Afro-pop rhythms, the singer watches his partner sleep and promises to soothe her with his voice all night long. The chorus repeats his mission statement: he wants to raise her to the rank of a queen. In other words, Dadju is pledging absolute devotion, protection, and admiration. He tells her that jealous onlookers and gossip will simply slide off her like oil on skin; no outside judgment can touch the kingdom they are building together.

Behind the romantic imagery lies a message of trust, loyalty, and long-term commitment. Dadju assures her father that he will look after “his daughter,” insists they will fight fate itself to stay united, and declares that his heart is already resting in her palm. For English learners, the song is a great example of affectionate metaphors (sharing blood, elevating someone, heart in the palm) and colloquial assurances (“je peux plus m’passer de lui,” “c’est mort”). At its core, “Reine” is a feel-good anthem that crowns love as the highest authority and invites listeners to believe in happily-ever-afters crafted through genuine care and mutual respect.
