Adieu Lyrics in English Slimane

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Adieu by Slimane from French to English.
Since you, I walk alone
Not knowing where I'm going
I've laid down my weapons
But I'm not at peace
I pretend I'm getting better
Pretending I've turned the page
Men don't cry
Especially at my age
I spend my nights drinking to the pain
I stagger through the streets shouting that I love you
I toss life and all its promises away
Since you don't answer anymore
To all my SOS
Goodbye
Forever
To our memories on the pier
To the two of us
To the past
To life if I make it through
If I get through, if I get through, if I get through
If I get through, if I get through
If I get through, if I get through, if I get through
If I get through, if I get through
You know I'll heal from everything you leave me
From all your lies, from your sex stories
It'll take time but I swear I'll be better
Can you say the same when you think about us?
I wouldn't like to be in your place
When you're crying in front of your mirror
Thinking about me, about how much I loved you
Sick of your lovers, the ones who abandoned you
Goodbye
Forever
To our memories on the pier
To the two of us
To the past
To life if I make it through
If I get through, if I get through, if I get through
If I get through, if I get through
If I get through, if I get through, if I get through
If I get through, if I get through
Goodbye
Forever
To our memories on the pier
To the two of us
To the past
To life if I make it through

SONG MEANING

Adieu invites us into the late-night streets of a heartbroken narrator who is stumbling through grief, bottle in hand, shouting love into the empty air. Slimane paints vivid scenes of solitary walks, abandoned promises, and memories “sur le port,” creating a cinematic snapshot of what it feels like when someone you adore suddenly stops answering your SOS calls.

Yet beneath the tears and swagger lies a stubborn spark of resilience. The chorus’s repeated “Si je m’en sors” (If I make it through) becomes a mantra of self-healing: a pledge to outgrow the lies, to survive the sleepless nights, and to watch the tables turn when the ex finally faces her own reflection. In just a few minutes, Slimane turns heartbreak into both a farewell letter and a victory speech, reminding us that goodbye can sometimes be the first word of a brand-new chapter.
