Caméléon Lyrics in English Shy'm

Home / Lyrics Translation / Shy'm / Caméléon

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caméléon by Shy'm from French to English.

you, sweet monotony

I see you, I know you, I dodge you, I run from you

you, little hint of madness

You fire me up, exalt me, pull me away from boredom

Because I drown in a drop of water

If my days look alike and desire turns its back on me

I don't trust the magic of a number

Except when I see it for the first time

So I change, I play chameleon

I adapt to nature, to the changing seasons

I breathe pure air, enough to freeze my lungs

And that inspires me

And I renew myself, shed my skin and wake up

In a new light a new idea amazes me

And I rediscover myself under a new sun

Like a chameleon, like a chameleon

you, sweet monotony

With you we recite, we repeat, we rewrite

you, little hint of madness

With you we’re reborn, we relive, we cherish

Because I drown in a drop of water

If my days look alike and desire turns its back on me

I don't trust the magic of a number

Except when I see it for the first time

So I change, I play chameleon

I adapt to nature, to the changing seasons

I breathe pure air that freezes my lungs

And that inspires me

And I renew myself, shed my skin and wake up

In a new light a new idea amazes me

And I rediscover myself under a new sun

Like a chameleon, like a chameleon

Red, green, yellow, sky blue

A mix of colors

The gentle, the docile, the strong or the rebel

And I stick to my moods

With each one of my crushes

The eternal colors

Then I feel free, I live, I transform

I'm a chameleon

So I change, I play chameleon

I adapt to nature, to the changing seasons

I breathe pure air, enough to freeze my lungs

And that inspires me

And I renew myself, shed my skin and wake up

In a new light a new idea amazes me

And I rediscover myself under a new sun

Like a chameleon, like a chameleon

SONG MEANING

Feeling stuck in the same old routine? Shy'm’s "Caméléon" is an uplifting anthem about shaking off everyday monotony and rediscovering yourself through constant change. The French singer compares herself to a chameleon, a creature that survives by blending with its surroundings. In the song, she turns this natural trick into a life philosophy: each time boredom creeps in, she reinvents her colors, her mood, her outlook. From “red, green, yellow, sky-blue” to “gentle, strong, or rebellious,” every shade represents a new chance to breathe fresh air and feel inspired again.

Behind the catchy beat lies a simple yet powerful message: adaptability equals freedom. By embracing little sparks of folie (madness) and allowing new ideas to “glaze her lungs with pure air,” Shy'm shows that renewal is not a one-time event but a joyful habit. Whether it is a change of scenery, a new passion, or simply a different attitude, "Caméléon" invites listeners to welcome change, step into the sunlight of new possibilities, and celebrate the colorful spectrum of who they can become.
