Rien De Neuf Sous Le Soleil Lyrics in English by Jali

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rien De Neuf Sous Le Soleil by Jali from French to English.
Nothing's changed this morning
Looks like everything's the same
I've got the pillow mark
And that sh*tty mug that wakes me up
I don't feel I fit in
A snowman under the sun
Staring at himself in the mirror
Despite the carrot, he smiles even more
Sorry but
Nothing new under the sun
Sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun
Sorry but, sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun
Sorry but, sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun
Nothing's changed this morning
My head still feels like an anvil
Saturday night went by
And I lost some feathers there
A wooden horse who blew his baptism by fire
And ends up limping
'Cause at the club he played the tough guy
Sorry but
Nothing new under the sun
Sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun
Sorry but, sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun
Sorry but, sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun
Nothing's changed this morning
Every day brings its lot of sh*t
I see a problem that's feeling lonely
I feel sorry and take it along
With me till tomorrow
That's how I feel alive
I always find along my way
Plenty of reasons to end up drunk
Sorry but
Nothing new under the sun
Sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun
Sorry but, sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun
Sorry but, sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun
Sorry but
Nothing new under the sun
Sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun
Sorry but, sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun
Sorry but, sorry but
Still nothing new under the sun

Enclume literally translates to "anvil". It's an interesting and somewhat unusual word to find in song lyrics, making it memorable.

In this song, the artist uses the phrase "J'ai encore la tête comme une enclume" (I still have a head like an anvil). This vivid metaphor describes having a heavy, throbbing headache, likely from a hangover after a night out. It paints a clear picture of the physical aftermath of Saturday night's festivities.

Nothing New Under the Sun… and That’s the Joke!

Jali’s “Rien De Neuf Sous Le Soleil” is a cheeky ode to everyday monotony. Waking up with pillow-crease marks, a pounding head, and the courage hangover from last night’s clubbing, our narrator realizes absolutely nothing has changed: the same worries, the same temptations, the same feeling of being a snowman stuck in the blazing heat. By repeating the line “Désolé mais, rien de neuf sous le soleil,” he pokes fun at life’s predictable routine while admitting that he still finds reasons to stagger onward, often literally.

Behind the humor lies a relatable truth. Each verse paints a cartoonish image—a wooden horse limping after a failed “baptism of fire,” or a lonely problem adopted like a stray pet—to show how we carry yesterday’s issues into today. Yet instead of spiraling into despair, Jali’s upbeat delivery invites listeners to laugh at the chaos and maybe even dance it off. The song’s message? If life insists on serving the same old troubles, we might as well sing, smile, and groove beneath the sun.
