Tom Lyrics in English Bilal Hassani

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tom by Bilal Hassani from French to English.
Tom dances like nothing could touch him
Elegance, a smile nobody can switch off
I admit it feels good
Because Tom doesn't speak
Tom's the type to hide since he was a kid
Always in the back yet his heart on his sleeve
Before, we knew nothing
Because Tom doesn't speak
Tell me what you're holding in your heart, I can't hear you
Tell me, it stays just between you and me
I'd like to open my arms to you
Tell me nothing scares you anymore
That today you look ahead
Look, you can count on me
I'd like to open my arms to you
I'd ask why
I'd tell you not to ask questions
Tonight, I want to sing your name
I'd like to open my arms to you
Shout to you 'It'll be okay'
I think back to that little boy nobody
knew the name of
Tom tried to blend into the crowd
He wanted to be seen, he wanted to find his place
Alone at the back of the class
Nobody saw him
Tom dances, tonight I think he's genuine
No pretending, he smiles, his gaze is proud
He's the one who lights us up
Tom doesn't lie to us
Tell me what you're holding in your heart, I can't hear you
Tell me, it stays just between you and me
I'd like to open my arms to you
I'd ask why
I'd tell you not to ask questions
Tonight, I want to sing your name
I'd like to open my arms to you
Shout to you 'It'll be okay'
I think back to that little boy nobody
knew the name of
I'd like to open my arms to you
Tonight, we'll sing your name
I'd like to open my arms to you
I'd ask why
I'd tell you not to ask any questions
Tonight, I want to sing your name
I'd like to open my arms to you
Shout to you 'It'll be okay'
I think back to that little boy nobody
knew the name of

SONG MEANING

“Tom” is Bilal Hassani’s vibrant tribute to the quiet kid who finally steps into the spotlight. The French pop star paints a cinematic picture of Tom—once the shy boy hiding at the back of the classroom, now twirling across the dance floor with radiant confidence. Every beat celebrates his transformation: elegant moves, an unbreakable smile, and a newfound pride that lights up the room. Bilal’s upbeat vocals and pulsing production invite us to cheer Tom on, showing that even the most reserved hearts can burst into color when they feel seen.

Below the glittering surface lies a touching message of empathy and support. The singer gently asks Tom to share what weighs on his heart, promising a safe space free of judgment. Through affirmations like “Ça ira” (“It’ll be alright”) and the repeated offer “J’voudrais t’ouvrir mes bras” (“I’d like to open my arms to you”), Bilal reminds listeners that acceptance and kindness can help anyone overcome fear. “Tom” is more than a dance-floor anthem; it is a warm embrace for anyone who has ever felt invisible, urging us all to lift each other up and celebrate our true selves.
