Anita Lyrics in English Kimberose

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Anita by Kimberose from French to English.
She didn't speak French
She didn't know the codes
She came from far away
From another place on the globe
Between four walls
She had little, I think
Life's sometimes hard
She had few choices
But she knew how to dance, dance
Dance in her arms
She made me dance, dance
Dance to her steps
I learned to dance, dance
In Anita's eyes
She told me to dance, dance
Especially when it's not okay
I watched her grow
Learning word by word
So she could tell me everything
About the past, about her burdens
Sweep it all away with laughter
Hang on to the sun
She didn't like the rain much
She forgot her dreams
But she knew how to dance, dance
Dance in her arms
She made me dance, dance
Dance to her steps
I learned to dance, dance
In Anita's eyes
She told me to dance, dance
Especially when it's not okay
Dance, dance
Dance in her arms
Dance, dance, in her steps
Dance, dance
Dance in her arms
Dance, dance, in her steps
Dance, dance
Dance in her arms
Dance, dance, in her steps
Dance, dance
Dance in her arms
But she knew how to dance, dance
Dance in her arms
She made me dance, dance
Dance to her steps
I learned to dance, dance
Dance in her arms
She made me dance, dance
Dance to her steps
I learned to dance, dance
In Anita's eyes
She made me dance, dance
Especially when it's not okay

SONG MEANING

Anita is a heartfelt tribute to a young woman who arrives in France without the language, the social “codes,” or many options, yet carries an unshakable gift: she can dance. Inside four bare walls, where life often feels limited, Anita transforms her struggles into rhythm. Her steps become a new vocabulary, letting her tell stories of distant homelands, heavy memories, and quiet hopes long before she masters French. Every spin on the floor sweeps away a little doubt, every sway of her hips pulls sunshine into rooms that once felt gray.

The singer quickly becomes Anita’s student, learning that the best remedy for worry is to move your feet. By following her lead, he discovers resilience, joy, and the simple magic of connection. Whenever “ça n’va pas”—when things are not going well—Anita’s answer is always the same: keep dancing. The song invites us to do the same, turning adversity into music and fear into graceful motion, until we too can find courage in the sparkle of someone else’s eyes and lose ourselves in the rhythm of hope.
