Libre Lyrics in English Angèle

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Libre by Angèle from French to English.
Free, here I am, it's my path, right here
The rest in music
On stage, backstage
Free, here I am, but without you, here
The rest, freewheeling
All in balance
I was scared before
I spoke so softly
I was never up front, no
Today I've really changed
Believe me
Watch yourself
I already know your game
I'm free and that won't change
Yeah, watch yourself
Living free
I don't want to fall anymore
Into the fool's trap
Let them get on their knees
Living free
Believe me, it's gonna change
I stayed standing
And I got a taste for it
Outro
I'm free, here I am
It's my path, right here
But what do you think
Me, I don't forget
Dry your tears
Because they don't wash away
All your weapons
Raised against me
I was scared before
I spoke so softly
I was never up front, no
Today I've really changed
Believe me
Watch yourself
I already know your game
I'm free and that won't change
Yeah, watch yourself
Living free
I don't want to fall anymore
Into the fool's trap
Let them get on their knees
Living free
Believe me, it's gonna change
I stayed standing and I got a taste for it
And I bother you
It's stronger than me
Too taken for an angel
I myself didn't believe it
All this time lately
Devoted to that
I've hit rock bottom but I'm free
Living free
I don't want to fall anymore
Into the fool's trap
Let them get on their knees
Living free
Believe me, it's gonna change
I stayed standing
And I got a taste for it
I'm free, here I am

SONG MEANING

Libre ("Free") is Angèle’s sparkling declaration of independence and self-confidence; across the track she switches from the timid girl who once "parlait tout bas" (spoke very softly) to the fearless woman who steps on stage shouting "me voilà" (here I am). She sings of living "en roue libre"—on free-wheel—balancing life on her own terms while refusing to fall back into the "trap of the fool" that once kept her quiet. Each chorus, "Vivre libre" (to live free), is both a personal mantra and a playful warning to anyone still trying to play mind games: she sees the tricks, she won’t bend, and she actually likes this new taste of freedom. The song moves like a victory march, celebrating resilience, self-respect, and the rush that comes from standing tall after hitting rock bottom; by the final "me voilà", Angèle invites every listener to claim the same bright, unstoppable path to freedom.
