S'en Aller Lyrics in English M. Pokora
Balèze is a French slang term that means "tough," "strong," or "skilled." It's a more informal and impactful way to describe someone's capabilities than standard adjectives.
In the song, M. Pokora sings, "Et j'me croyais trop balèze / Que j'pouvais tout envoyer valser" (And I thought I was too tough / That I could send everything flying). He uses this word to express a past overconfidence, highlighting a moment of self-realization and vulnerability, making it an interesting and relatable choice.
S'en Aller – which means to go away – spins a story of two old flames who keep colliding with their past. M. Pokora walks us through school corridors filled with scribbled promises and memories that refuse to fade. Time has raced ahead, yet the feelings have not; each attempt to avoid one another only proves that the heart still speaks louder than reason.
The catchy refrain “Faut s'en aller” (We have to leave) is a bittersweet rallying cry. They have exchanged too many words, even curses, and now believe that distance might be the only cure. Still, every step forward is tugged back by nostalgia, showing how love can be both anchor and burden. In short, the song captures that tug-of-war between the need to move on and the ache of letting go of a shared history.
