Ton Nom Lyrics in English Amel Bent

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ton Nom by Amel Bent from French to English.
I cling to the details of the past
Our memories, a smile on our lips
You often come back in my thoughts
But what if memory interferes?
The storm is coming, clouds in the distance
It rumbles in my head
The heart holds an endless story
The fear that everything will stop
And if I ever have to forget everything
If time were to erase everything
May the sky take me away forever
If I forgot your name
And if suddenly our time is limited
Remind me all the words we used to say
May the sky take me away forever
When I forget your name
If I forget, if I forgot
If I forget, if I forgot
I forgot your name
If I forget, if I forgot
If I forget, if I forgot
I forgot your name
I shed the trivialities
What'll be left, it's hard to say
Pictures so I won't forget
Everything that often made me suffer
The storm is coming, clouds in the distance
It rumbles in my head
The heart holds an endless story
The fear that everything will stop
And if I ever have to forget everything
If time were to erase everything
May the sky take me away forever
If I forgot your name
And if suddenly our time is limited
Remind me all the words we used to say
May the sky take me away forever
When I forget your name
If I forget, if I forgot
If I forget, if I forgot
I forgot your name
If I forget, if I forgot
If I forget, if I forgot
I forgot your name

SONG MEANING

Imagine waking up one day and realizing the name of the person you love is slipping away. In “Ton Nom,” French soul-pop star Amel Bent turns that terrifying thought into a powerful anthem about memory, love, and the race against time. She paints a vivid scene: thunder rumbles in the distance, clouds gather in her mind, and she clings to tiny snapshots of the past—the smiles, the whispered words, the moments that once defined her world. The chorus becomes her plea to the universe: “If I ever forget, if time erases everything, let the sky carry me away rather than lose your name.”

Behind the catchy melody lies a universal fear: what happens when memories fade? By stripping away life’s “futilities” and focusing on what truly matters, the song reminds us to safeguard our most precious connections. Whether you’ve stood in the middle of your own emotional storm or simply treasure the people who shape your story, “Ton Nom” invites you to hold on tight, say the important words out loud, and dance while you still can remember every beat.
