Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Tell me, do you think all this will last
All these stars that dance, and that we let slip away
Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Tell me, do you think all this will last
All these stars that dance, and that we let slip away
Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Friendship, it's hearts, it's friends
They're the ones who stick with you, even when you sing off-key
When you're not super in tune, it happens, their hearts don't stop
It's hard to define real friendship
And in a way it's very simple
And in a way it's very simple, it's when
You don't know which foot to dance on anymore
You don't know where your head should go
When life ain't going, no
When life ain't going
You don't know which foot to dance on anymore
You don't know where your head should go
Their hearts don't stop, no
They don't stop
Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Tell me, do you think all this will last
All these stars that dance, and that we let slip away
Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Friends are the ones who are still there, you know
They're the ones who are still there after all these years
After all the distance, after all the crises
They're the ones who are still there, really there
And in spite of everything
You see it's very simple
It's very simple, it's when
You don't know which foot to dance on anymore
You don't know where your head should go
When life ain't going, no
When life ain't going
You don't know which foot to dance on anymore
You don't know where your head should go
Their hearts don't stop, no
They don't stop
Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Tell me, do you think all this will last
All these stars that dance, and that we let slip away
Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Tell me, do you think all this will last
All these stars that dance, and that we let slip away
Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Tell me, do you think all this will last
All these stars that dance, and that we let slip away
Tell me how you dance, I'll tell you who you are
Tell me how you dance
Tell me how you dance

SONG MEANING

Bust out your best moves! In this feel-good anthem, French band Boulevard des Airs turns the dance floor into a mirror for the soul. The chorus – “Dis-moi comment tu danses, je te dirai qui tu es” (“Tell me how you dance, and I’ll tell you who you are”) – suggests that the way we sway, spin, or simply tap a foot reveals our true selves. Among twinkling images of “stars that dance” and drift away, the song gently asks whether the good times can really last, reminding us that life is fleeting so we might as well shine while we can.

Yet the heart of the track beats to the rhythm of friendship. Real friends, the lyrics say, stick around when you forget which foot to stand on, when your singing is off-key, or when life just will not cooperate. They are “les cœurs” that never stop. By blending an infectious melody with warm, conversational lines, the song celebrates those loyal companions who keep us dancing through every crisis and every distance. So turn up the volume, grab your friends, and let your steps tell the world exactly who you are!
