Enfants De La Patrie Lyrics in English Gims , Naps

Picture yourself racing through the glow of Paris at 3 a.m., engine growling, sirens echoing somewhere behind you. That rush of adrenaline is exactly what Enfants De La Patrie captures. Gims, a Congolese-French powerhouse, teams up with Marseille rapper Naps to turn the famous revolutionary call “Allons enfants de la patrie” into a street anthem. The verses jump between luxury cars, back-alley deals, and the ever-present sound of gunshots, showing how success and danger often ride in the same passenger seat.

Beneath the flashy Maseratis and stacks of cash lies a raw confession: these “children of the homeland” feel both proud and lost. They power forward “sans nostalgie,” fueled by ambition yet haunted by the mines life keeps scattering in their path. The chorus warns that “the bullet’s already left,” reminding listeners that every choice comes loaded with risk. In short, the song is a high-octane portrait of hustle, identity, and survival—an urban battle cry for anyone carving a future in the shadows of the city lights.
