Pour Un Pote

Even if it would be a tragedy to lose her
For a friend, I could leave the most beautiful woman on earth
Let him choose the name for my future kid
Leave for six months, learn Chinese in Scotland
I could say no on my wedding day if he asks me
Leave a loving woman, and take off if he takes me
We’d pitch a tent on a mountain deep in France
Trigger an avalanche but still laugh
Win the lottery, give him every dime
Summarize the movie if he goes to pee during the film
Pretend to lose just to make him happy
Tell him his girl is hot, just to make him happy
I could insult a boxer, hit on a nun
For a good two hours and get slapped
Do the dishes with a smile, live in a bunker
You’re just a fraud, I just broke you
Follow him in his craziness, carry his bags
Walk his goldfish and go surfing in Nice
I’m getting attached so he won’t ditch me
I’d follow him to the ends of the earth, but he can’t know

I could pull out the katana, for a friend
Sleep with piranhas, for a friend
Open a bar in the Sahara, for a friend
Tell him it’s all good even if it’s not, for a friend
Catch the first flight to Rio, for a friend
Keep a kidney in the fridge, for a friend
I could travel the world, lie to his mom
I could, I could, I could, click click bro

People often tell me to chill a bit
You’re gonna get yourself in trouble
You know life’s not a game
You think he’d do the same for you?

I could go to jail even if I did nothing
Face my boss and tell him: You’re just weak
I could handle any pressure
Transport a body at night without asking questions
I could steal a lollipop from a kid
Take a hit, throw on a bikini and some gloss
I could catch scabies, be starving
Sweep the floor and get sentenced
Lend him 10 grand and he never pays me back
I could put my whole neck under the guillotine
I could headbutt my girlfriend
Sorry babe, I know, I do weird stuff
But just know I’d even leave her the last slice of pizza
Get up at four in the morning to help him out
Lend him my room for a month and he stays for years
I could do all that for him, even if he’s a jerk
And I might even make him a song

I could pull out the katana, for a friend

Tell him it’s all good even if it’s not, for a friend

So guys, explain to me, what exactly is a friend?
Some kind of brother there for every moment
When, sometimes you feel nauseous, about to explode
The only thing you can lean on
Yeah, but I have my bed for that
No, Brice, you don’t get it!
What they’re saying, your friend is your only shield
And family? And family is for life
But there’s the default one, and the one you choose
But what do I get from it?
Nothing, except laughs and struggles
So no cash and salary? No, nothing!
And listen closely, if you get lost along the way
He’d give everything he doesn’t have if you really need it
Thanks guys, I think I’ve understood the value of a friend
The only one who could surf with me on a tsunami day
When, sometimes I feel nauseous, my heart weighs tons
So guys, we’re friends
Really? Nah, I’m just kidding!

I could pull out the katana (uh, yeah, or not)
Sleep with piranhas (hey, you’ll tell me about it!)
Open a bar in the Sahara (not with me!)
Tell him it’s all good even if it’s not (that doesn’t mean anything)
Catch the first flight to Rio (Rio!)
Keep a kidney in the fridge (that’s ridiculous)
I could travel the world, lie to his mom
