- Finally, Timal concludes: “New tana, heading to Paname, everything’s clear / Riding the Can-Am, big joint of canna, I want my FAMAS, green bills.”
A simple yet effective video
The video for 10 ans d’âge takes a minimalist yet effective approach, showcasing the three artists enjoying themselves in a laid-back atmosphere, far from usual clichés.
