La Fête Lyrics in English Amir

Home / Lyrics Translation / Amir / La Fête

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Fête by Amir from French to English.

Let's raise our glasses for no reason

Just living's enough, it's good

But it's better and shorter with a little buzz

Come on, let's break our voices

Come on, let's split over there

Where love's always king

Make up some princesses

The boss is giving you hell

Your morale's on a stretcher

You're still tired from yesterday

We'll think about it tomorrow

Too bad for the half-empty heart

As long as we've got plenty of buddies

We were all born to party

Like we never did it before

Party

We were all born to party

At worst, we party in our heads

Like we never did it before

The night is our home

You can invite yourself for no reason

Make yourself comfy like in your living room

Come fill your sadness

Come on, let's act cool, let's strut

We think we're the lions of the savannah

We're the kings of Havana

Havana, na na

Your love story's falling apart

You put salt in your coffee

You're too short to touch the sky

'Cause we'll grow up tomorrow

Too bad if we fall into the void

As long as the glass is half full

We were all born to party

Like we never did it before

Party

We were all born to party

At worst, we party in our heads

Like we never did it before

We've almost got nothing left to drink

The bar's closing, everything's dark

We keep going on the sidewalk

We're here, we're here

We're gonna get home too late again

I think I've got a black eye

I broke my guitar again

My name's Jimi Hendrix tonight

We were all born to party

Like we never did it before

Party

We were all born to party

At worst, we party in our heads

Like we never did it before

SONG MEANING

Amir’s “La Fête” is a joyous pep-talk set to music. The lyrics invite us to raise a glass for no special reason, leave the day’s stress behind, and belt out songs until our voices crack. Bills, bad bosses, and broken hearts all wait until “demain” because tonight we rule a make-believe kingdom where love is king and every listener is a prince or princess. The refrain insists we were born to party, even if the celebration only happens in our heads; attitude turns an empty glass into one that is half-full.

When the lights go out and the bar shutters, the party spills onto the sidewalk. Bruised eyes, snapped guitar strings, and late-night wanderings become badges of carefree living. “La Fête” reminds learners that happiness is a choice: fuel it with friendship, music, and imagination, and every night can feel like the first time you ever celebrated life.
