Le Gouffre Lyrics in English Bagarre

Home / Lyrics Translation / Bagarre / Le Gouffre

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Gouffre by Bagarre from French to English.

You think your life's

not that important

that the words that come

don't really make sense

in your head there are noises

you feel like an animal

you stay in your bed

when you say 'I', it hurts

you nosedive

without looking like it

I don't know what's eating you

it's not too clear

I don't know what's eating you

but you bury yourself

the abyss that's calling you

you rappel down

smelling brimstone

to me, you're the most beautiful

the abyss that's calling you

you rappel down

smelling brimstone

to me, you're the most beautiful

you were already so tired

the year I met you

you had knives in your skull

that came to caress your skin

you wore your hate slung over your shoulder

you and the others, it was war

the abyss that's calling you

you rappel down

smelling brimstone

to me, you're the most beautiful

the abyss that's calling you

you rappel down

smelling brimstone

to me, you're the most beautiful

you didn't care for anything anymore

you were in your black tunnel

your days all had the same ending

you were gonna rust behind a bar

now you can put down

your razor and your suitcase

your road doesn't go any further

you're gonna have to improvise

the abyss that's calling you

the abyss

before our time the trail screams

of you, of me, of those who pass

before our time the trail screams

of you, of me, of those who pass

before fear, before the break

and as I see our lives speeding by

the abyss that's calling you

you rappel down

smelling brimstone

to me, you're the most beautiful

the abyss that's calling you

you rappel down

smelling brimstone

to me, you're the most beautiful

the abyss that's calling you

you rappel down

smelling brimstone

to me, you're the most beautiful

the abyss that's calling you

you rappel down

smelling brimstone

to me, you're the most beautiful

SONG MEANING

“Le Gouffre” plunges us into an electrifying mix of electro-punk beats and raw emotion. Bagarre paints the scene of someone who feels insignificant, haunted by chaotic thoughts, and tempted by a dark inner abyss. The repeated image of descending on a rope into the chasm turns mental distress into an action-packed adventure movie, while the pounding rhythm keeps the listener hanging on the cliff’s edge.

Yet this is not a tale of hopelessness. A caring voice follows the protagonist down, calling them “la plus belle” and urging them to drop the razor, leave the suitcase of pain, and improvise a new path. The song celebrates friendship as a lifeline, reminding us that even when life smells of sulfur and feels like a free-fall, someone can still see our hidden brilliance and pull us back toward the light.
