Debout sans savoir où aller
Standing without knowing where to go
Debout sans savoir qui je suis, j'ai vingt ans (oh non)
Standing without knowing who I am, I'm twenty (oh no)
Maman mes amies sont parties
Mom my friends are gone
J'ai beaucoup grandi
I've grown up a lot
Debout sans savoir où aller
Standing without knowing where to go
Debout sans savoir qui je suis, j'ai vingt ans (oh non)
Standing without knowing who I am, I'm twenty (oh no)
Maman mes amies sont parties

J'ai beaucoup grandi
I've grown up a lot
J'ai perdu la notion du temps (du temps)
I've lost track of time (of time)
À tout remettre à plus tard
By postponing everything until later
Aujourd'hui nous sommes demain (demain)
Today we are tomorrow (tomorrow)
Demain j'irai le faire, demain j'irai la-bas
Tomorrow I'll go do it, tomorrow I'll go there
Demain, demain, demain, demain
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Moi j'vais péter les plombs
I'm going to lose it
J'veux être 'madame tout le monde'
I want to be "Mrs. Everybody"
Travailler comme tout le monde
Work like everybody
Debout sans savoir où aller

Did you like this lyrics translation?

plombs — fuses

Plombs literally means "fuses" (as in electrical fuses). It's an interesting word because it's not commonly used in everyday conversation in this context.

In the song, Aya Nakamura sings "Moi j'vais péter les plombs," which is an idiomatic expression meaning "I'm going to blow a fuse" or "I'm going to lose it/go crazy." This phrase perfectly captures the feeling of being overwhelmed and on the verge of a breakdown, making it a memorable and engaging word to learn.
