They sold me perfect love, so if it’s any less I think it’s not love

Even happiness could bore me, I’ve got the super-power to see the bad everywhere

I wanted to find the ideal woman, like I was the ideal man

Hold up

Why’d I think I’m the ideal man?

Never there, even when I’m there, I’m useless, just there, tired

Touchy, in a bad mood, I talk like crap

It’s always fatigue’s fault

Forget vacations, I don’t know

We can’t plan a thing, your life’s locked to my schedule

Passive, aggressive, I don’t wanna see your friends

I wave everything off ’cause I’m an artist

Nothing’s ever good for me, I don’t know how to enjoy

We fight just picking a movie

I answer my phone in the middle of the film

Work always comes first, you’re alone in our bed

I say I do it for my family, except I never see my family

’Cause for real I do it for me, I bring the cash, so I’ve got the right

That’s what I thought

Now that I know I could lose you

I’ll do my best to keep you

Maybe it was better before, we’ll do everything to make it better after

In the end you’re not perfect, I’m probably worse, so it’s perfect

It’s normal if you worry

Love ain’t perfect when it’s real

When everything’s fine, it’s way too easy to love

Love ain’t perfect when it’s real

Come on, let’s stay together

At our age couples fall like leaves, we’ll last till spring

Come on, let’s stay together

At our age couples fall like leaves, we’ll last till spring

Sometimes you’re ugly, sometimes you’re a pain

Sometimes I’m ugly, sometimes I’m a pain

Sometimes you’re the bad one, sometimes I’m the bad one

I don’t think the years will make us better

I promise I’ll have doubts

’Cause doubting’s the opposite of not giving a sh*t, yeah

There’s no manual for love, you just gotta do a bit of it every day, yeah

Now that I know I could lose you

I’ll do my best to keep you

Maybe it was better before, we’ll do everything to make it better after

In the end you’re not perfect, I’m probably worse, so it’s perfect

It’s normal if you worry

Come on, let’s stay together

At our age couples fall like leaves, we’ll last till spring

Come on, let’s stay together

At our age couples fall like leaves, we’ll last till spring

Come on, let’s stay together

SONG MEANING

Ensemble is Orelsan’s honest love letter to imperfection. Over Skread’s laid-back beat, the French rapper laughs at his own contradictions: he dreams of the “perfect” partner while admitting he is rarely present, always tired and often grumpy. Realising that chasing flawless happiness makes him miss the good he already has, he confesses his selfish habits and insecurities and swaps the fairy-tale version of romance for something far more human.

The chorus, "Viens, on reste ensemble" (Come on, let’s stay together), is both a plea and a promise. Instead of pretending that love is effortless, Orelsan embraces doubt, compromise and daily effort as proof that the relationship matters. Couples may “fall like leaves” around them, yet he bets on commitment, growth and the simple decision to keep choosing each other. The song reminds us that real love is not perfect; it is ordinary people deciding, every day, to hold on until spring.
