Chorus 1

It's always sunny

Above the clouds

But if I were a bird

I'd go dance in the storm

I'd cross the clouds

Like the light does

I'd listen in the rain

To the symphony of lightning

Verse 1

From her earliest childhood

She didn't know how to speak any other way

Except by screaming softly

Not for lack of trying

To hold them back

These cries and these tears

That affected them so much

Chorus 2

It's always sunny

Above the clouds

But if I were a bird

I'd go dance in the storm

I'd cross the clouds

Like the light does

I'd listen in the rain

To the symphony of lightning

Verse 2

Growing up, nothing calmed down

Little storm found herself

Reasons to rain so much

Who could truly love her

Nobody would like to find themselves

In the heart of a storm, admit it

There are reasons to cry

She has her reasons, though

Chorus 3

It's always sunny

Above the clouds

And if I were a bird

I'd go dance in the storm

I'd cross the clouds

Like the light does

I'd listen in the rain

To the symphony of lightning

Bridge 1

When the storm learned

That melodies

Could escape the wind

And end up

In people's hearts

She said to herself

No reason to envy the sun

I'll make people dance

To the rhythm of my tears

The turmoil of my songs

Will come to warm hearts

Warm my heart

Chorus 4

It's always sunny

Above the clouds

But I'm one of those birds

That make us dance in the storm

I'll cross every cloud

To find the light

Singing in the rain

To the symphony of lightning

éclairs — lightning bolts

Éclairs literally translates to "lightning bolts". Fun fact: this is also the French word for the famous cream-filled pastries!

In the song's title, "La Symphonie des Éclairs," Zaho de Sagazan isn't singing about desserts. She creates a stunning image of a "symphony of lightning," transforming a chaotic storm into something powerful and beautiful. It’s a metaphor for finding art and strength in your personal struggles.

This song is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt like they were "too much" for other people. Zaho de Sagazan uses the metaphor of a storm to describe a person with intense, overwhelming emotions. She feels like a "petite tempête" [little storm] who has good reasons to cry, but worries that no one could love her because, as she says, "Personne n'aimerait se retrouver / Au coeur d'une tempête, avouez" [Nobody would like to find themselves / In the heart of a storm, admit it].

But then, everything changes. Instead of trying to get above the clouds where "Il fait toujours beau" [It's always beautiful], she decides to embrace the storm. The storm learns that it can create melodies from the wind that can touch people's hearts. She transforms her pain into art, realizing she can make people dance to the rhythm of her tears. The final lines are a triumphant declaration: "moi je suis de ces oiseaux / Qui nous font danser sous l'orage" [me, I am one of those birds / Who make us dance in the storm]. She finds her power not by suppressing her feelings, but by turning them into a beautiful and moving "symphonie des éclairs" [symphony of lightning].
