Le Festin Lyrics in English Camille

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Festin by Camille from French to English.
Verse 1
Lovers' dreams are like good wine
They bring joy or else sorrow
Weakened by hunger I'm unhappy
Stealing on the way whatever I can
Because nothing's free in life
Verse 2
Hope is a dish devoured way too fast
I'm used to skipping meals
A lonely thief is sad to feed
In such a bitter game I can't win
Because nothing's free in life
Chorus 1
Nobody will ever tell me
That racing to the stars isn't for me
Let me amaze you and take flight
We'll finally feast
Chorus 2
the party will finally begin
And bring out the bottles, the trouble's over
I set the table for my new life
I'm happy at the thought of this new fate
A life spent hiding, then free at last
The feast is on my way
A life spent hiding and then free at last
The feast is on my way

SONG MEANING

“Le Festin” invites you to a table where dreams and hunger sit side by side. Camille sings of a wanderer who compares lovers’ dreams to fine wine: they can lift you up or leave you aching. Penniless and starving, the narrator confesses to stealing scraps because “nothing is free in life,” and hope disappears as quickly as an emptied plate. The mood begins in shadows, yet it never stays there for long.

With a sudden burst of confidence, the singer refuses to believe the journey to the stars is off-limits. She vows to astonish the world, spread her wings, and usher everyone into a long-awaited celebration. Bottles are uncorked, troubles are dismissed, and a brand-new table is set for freedom. After years of hiding, the storyteller finally tastes liberty, declaring that the long-promised feast now lies straight ahead. The song beams with resilience, self-belief, and the thrill of reinventing one’s destiny—all wrapped in Camille’s playful, heartfelt French vocals.
