Première Bande Lyrics in English Coco

Home / Lyrics Translation / Coco / Première Bande

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Première Bande by Coco from French to English.

I must sing

I must play music

Music is more than a part of me

It's who I am

When life gets sad

I pick up my guitar

I give everyone the right to listen to their reason

But I only listen to my heart

Have you ever had that strange feeling that a song was made

Especially for you?

With a glance

Erase all the pain of the past

Dreams fly away and come back

Even stronger and more beautiful

Never underestimate the power of music

No one could offer me this future

It was up to me to reach for this dream

To hold on to it with all my strength

And make it come true

Who's there?

I'm sorry

What's going on?

I'm dreaming

Dante, wait for me!

Dante! You have to stay with me, my dog

I don't know where

Where we are

So it's not a dream

You're really all here

So it's not a dream

You're really all here

SONG MEANING

In Première Bande, Coco opens the curtain on her life’s soundtrack, declaring that music is not just part of her - it is who she is. When the world turns grey, she grabs her guitar, silences logic, and lets her heart take the microphone. She asks us if we have ever felt a song was written only for us, that instant when a single melody wipes away old scars while lost dreams circle back, brighter than before. Her mantra is crystal clear: never underestimate the power of music.

Mid-song, reality blurs into a dreamlike scene where Coco calls out to her loyal dog, Dante. This sudden shift feels like stepping through a backstage door into a new realm, reminding us that following passion can catapult us into the unexpected. No one could hand her future to her; she had to chase it, cling to it, and shape it herself. The result is an anthem for anyone ready to trust their heartbeat over reason and let music guide them toward their own standing-ovation moment.
