Les Maryann Lyrics in English Tu Es Là

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Maryann by Tu Es Là from French to English.
I don't know what to think anymore
It haunts me every moment
Watching the train go by
While I stay on the bench
You tell me everything'll get better
I tell you everything's already fixed
Even though I know I'm wrong
I don't care, I don't care
The road shows no mercy
It's like fate won't clear my path anymore
If tomorrow has no mercy
At least I know you're there behind my shoulder
All those things we don't say
That I keep in my head
I know you see them
You can read through my storms
You tell me everything's temporary
I tell you everything wants to stop me
Even though I know I'm wrong
I don't care, I don't care
The road shows no mercy
It's like fate won't clear my path anymore
If tomorrow has no mercy
At least I know you're there behind my shoulder
When everything's gray and everything goes wrong
When I've got holes in my morale
Even if, deep down, that's life
Too bad, too bad
The road shows no mercy
It's like fate won't clear my path anymore
If tomorrow has no mercy
At least I know you're there behind my shoulder

SONG MEANING

Feel like life keeps speeding by while you stay stuck on the platform? That is exactly the picture Tu Es Là paints in Les Maryann. The narrator watches a train roar past yet stays glued to the bench, haunted by doubt and convinced that fate has turned its back. Every line drips with frustration: Le chemin est sans pitié (the road is merciless), tout veut m'arrêter (everything wants to stop me). Still, the song is not a down-spiral. A comforting voice keeps whispering, Tout va s'arranger (everything will work out). Even when the singer stubbornly replies Je m'en fous (I don’t care), that presence never leaves. The chorus becomes a promise: Si demain est sans pitié, je sais au moins que derrière mon épaule tu es là — if tomorrow is cruel, at least I know you are behind my shoulder.

In other words, Les Maryann celebrates the lifesaver who stands by us when our own thoughts turn stormy. It captures the tug-of-war between despair and reassurance, between wanting to quit and knowing someone will catch us if we fall. Press play and let this French-Mexican indie gem remind you that even the harshest journeys feel lighter when a loyal friend is quietly walking just a step behind.
