Orelsan - Boss Lyrics English Translation

Boss Lyrics English Translation by Orelsan

I gotta tell you, uh, something about my relationship, something it took me a long time to admit to myself. But I think it could be liberating.

Living together is easy at the start, you want to please so you put in the effort.
But the more time passes, the harder it gets, and the more you disagree on everything.
You say “morning,” the other says “evening,” you want before, the other wants after.
Some choose to fight it out, me, I gotta tell you, she’s the one who won.

I’m not the boss.
In my relationship, I’m not the boss.
I don’t decide anything, I’m not the boss.
At home, I’m not the boss.
I can lie to my friends but I’m not the boss.
I’d like to be the man but I’m not the boss.
I can lie to myself but I’m not the boss.
I can act like the alpha male but I’m not the boss.
I can give my opinion but I’m not the boss.
I can pay the bills but I’m not the boss.
I’m not the boss, I’m not the boss.
I could fight it but I don’t have the strength.
She’s the one who makes the call when we don’t agree.
She’s my darling, she’s not my buddy.
There’s a hierarchy, I’m not the boss, I’m not the boss.

Everything’s fine, it’s just that I’m not the boss.
I’m not gonna complain, she’s a good boss.
It’s too late, I won’t change the game.
She has the final cut, she’s the one in production.
Darling is stubborn, darling is really tough.
So I just shut my mouth and I follow orders.
It’s faster to just let her walk all over me.
Sometimes, even when I’m right, I apologize.
She’s tough, she’s got nothing to lose.
When she gets an idea, nothing stops her.
Me, I stop myself before I even have an idea.
I’m not gonna win the head-to-head.
I sulk for two hours and then I’m lazy.
She can sulk for three whole weeks.
She lives her life but talks to me in a tone that says “Don’t forget it’s war.”
She gets on my nerves, she dodges me, I depend on her, I don’t know how to do it.
I want sun, she wants snow so I look into skis.
I say Chinese, she says Thai, I suggest Japanese and she says Thai.
So I eat a papaya salad but at least I have peace when I’m eating it.

Han.
She took control of my life, han.
She’s the heroine, I’m her sidekick, han.
I don’t know, I’m not the one who chooses, han.
She’s the heroine, I’m her sidekick, han.

She won a long time ago, I’m living my best life as an employee.
When you ask me if I’m coming, I say I’m thinking about it, that just means I’m gonna ask her.
At home, I have the supporting role, Mister Pokora, she controls me.
In front of people I gotta save face so we have a pact where it can’t get out.
But
Don’t think I’m gonna choose the restaurant, don’t think I’m gonna choose the show.
Don’t think I’m gonna choose the decor, of course I can give my opinion.
But don’t think I’m gonna get past her veto.
I could fight but I don’t have the spirit, for real, she’s the alpha male.
Anyway, I don’t know how to make choices, she makes them for me so actually, she’s made for me.
Sometimes, when she sees I’m fed up, she lets me decide on something.
But it’s a bluff, it’s just a way to secure her dictatorship.
Besides, it’s a bit taboo so please, act like you don’t know anything.
She doesn’t want to come off as a tyrant even though she is one.
