Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Jour Se Lève by Barbara Pravi from French to English.

When I kiss your eyes I kiss your lips too

I also kiss the dreams we haven't dreamed yet

In your arms I let go and rise and soar

On waking, if I stay, it's of misery and gold

I don't know what it is

I don't know where it'll go

What makes us like each other, from our words to our asses

Do you know why

Why me why you

when you breathe it's like a promise

The day rises

Clears the fog

I'm not afraid anymore, I have no more doubts

One day rises

Among billions

It's got the face, the face of love

I'm good, so good

You're good, need nothing

Since I kiss you what's heavy has changed weight

Yeah it's turned to feather, turned not so serious

Since you kiss me my face has changed, I think

Old and young at the same time

I kiss all my ages

I don't know what it is

I don't know where it'll go

What makes us like each other once the high has passed

Do you know why

Why me why you

when you breathe there's no need for promises

The day rises

Clears the fog

I'm not afraid anymore, I have no more doubts

One day rises among billions

It's got the face, the face of love

I'm good, so good

You're good, need nothing

SONG MEANING

Barbara Pravi’s “Le Jour Se Lève” feels like opening your window at dawn and realizing the whole world is suddenly softer, warmer, lighter. Through tender images of kissing eyes, lips, even unmade dreams, she paints the moment when love first dawns and sweeps away every trace of night. The rising sun is her metaphor: as it burns off the fog, the singer’s fears and doubts disappear too. She marvels at the mystery—Why you? Why me?—yet decides the answer is less important than the glow they share.

The song celebrates how love reshapes everything we carry. Heavy worries turn into feathers, a face looks both older and younger, two people feel “tellement bien, besoin de rien”—so good they need nothing else. It is an ode to that magical instant when you wake up next to someone, breathe together, and realize the day ahead already has the face of love.
