Honolulu Lyrics in English Bagarre

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Honolulu by Bagarre from French to English.
Honolulu's my love
Let me see you again someday
Honolulu's my love
We said goodbye, lost forever
I'll come back, Honolulu
Honolulu, let your hair down
Even if I can't see your eyes anymore
Make the Atlantic rise
Tell me what you're drawing
Eternity on your island
My lips that you're nibbling
I can see Honolulu from here
Pacific in the pupil
Aloha, Aloha
We'll get lost there, you'll see
Aloha, Aloha
My foam drifts away
Even if I can't see your eyes anymore
Honolulu, let your hair down
Honolulu's my love
Let me see you again someday
Honolulu's my love
We said goodbye, lost forever
I'll come back, Honolulu
Honolulu doesn't suffer anymore
Without you I don't live either
You know, I'm scared too
Afraid to look elsewhere
With you I've been through it all
Light and darkness
The coral reefs
The black sand hurts me
Aloha, Aloha
We'll get lost there, you'll see
Aloha, Aloha
My foam drifts away
Even if I can't see your eyes anymore
Honolulu, let your hair down
Honolulu's my love
Let me see you again someday
Honolulu's my love
We said goodbye, lost forever
I'll come back, Honolulu
Aloha, Aloha
We'll get lost there
Aloha, Aloha
We'll get lost there, you'll see
You'll see
What will be left of us
When the water's risen
How much longer, baby
How many summers left
Let me come back
Make it bloom again
The Land of Fire
Honolulu, in your hair
Honolulu's my love
Let me see you again someday
Honolulu's my love
We said goodbye, lost forever
I'll come back, Honolulu
Honolulu's my love
Let me see you again someday
Honolulu's my love
We said goodbye, lost forever
I'll come back, Honolulu

SONG MEANING

Bagarre transports us from Parisian clubs to a sun-drenched Pacific postcard. In this track, Honolulu is both a real island and a metaphorical lover: a place of carefree waves, coral barriers, and black sand that has left the singer lovesick and homesick at the same time. Each Aloha is a salty sigh, and every promise of “Je reviendrai” turns the song into a restless quest to reunite with a paradise that slipped away. The lyrics mingle romance with climate anxiety, hinting at rising oceans and fading summers, so the longing feels urgent rather than just nostalgic.

Think of the song as a tropical road-movie filmed in the mind. We drift through shimmering memories—hair blowing in trade winds, bitten lips, eternal sunsets—while an undercurrent of fear asks: What will remain of us when the water rises? Bagarre’s hypnotic beat keeps us dancing even as the questions deepen, making “Honolulu” both a love letter and a plea to hold on to what is precious before it disappears into the tide.
