Verse 1
Oh my sweet suffering
Why be so relentless? Here you go again!
I am just someone of no importance
Without him I am a bit paranoid
I wander alone in the subway
One last dance
To forget my immense pain
I want to escape, for everything to start over
Oh my sweet suffering
Chorus 1
I move the sky, the day, the night
I dance with the wind, the rain
A little love, a hint of honey
And I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
And in the noise, I run and I'm scared
Is it my turn?
The pain returns
In all of Paris, I lose myself
And I fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
Verse 2
So much hope
On this path in your absence
Though I toil and slave away, without you my life is just a glittering decor
Void of meaning
Chorus 2
I move the sky, the day, the night
I dance with the wind, the rain
A little love, a hint of honey
And I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
And in the noise, I run and I'm scared
Is it my turn?
The pain returns
In all of Paris, I lose myself
And I fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
Verse 3
In this sweet suffering
For which I've paid for all the wrongs
Listen to how immense my heart is
I am a child of the world
Chorus 3
I move the sky, the day, the night
I dance with the wind, the rain
A little love, a hint of honey
And I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
And in the noise, I run and I'm scared
Is it my turn?
The pain returns
In all of Paris, I lose myself
And I fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly

déambuleI wander / I stroll

Déambuler is a beautiful French verb that means "to wander" or "to stroll aimlessly". It's a much more poetic and evocative word than the more common marcher (to walk).

In the song, Indila sings, "Je déambule seule dans le métro" (I wander alone in the metro). This single word paints a vivid picture of her feeling lost and adrift in the city, perfectly capturing the song's cinematic and melancholic atmosphere.

This song by French artist Indila is a huge, dramatic ballad about heartbreak. The singer feels completely lost without someone she loves, saying her life is just a "décor qui brille / Vide de sens" (a shiny set / Empty of meaning). She wanders alone through the Paris metro, feeling like "un être sans importance" (an unimportant being) and a little paranoid.

Her solution? One last, epic dance to escape the pain. But this isn't just a normal dance. She declares, "Je remue le ciel, le jour, la nuit / Je danse avec le vent, la pluie" (I move the sky, the day, the night / I dance with the wind, the rain). It's a massive, almost supernatural act of defiance against her "douce souffrance" (sweet suffering). She throws herself into this dance, hoping to fly away from her feelings and start over.
