La Marcheuse Lyrics in English Christine and the Queens

“La Marcheuse” (which means The Walker) paints the picture of a warrior stomping through the city streets, unflinching in the face of danger. French pop visionary Christine and the Queens sings as someone who chooses to keep moving forward, magnetising fists, threats and harsh stares on purpose. Each step is a dare: Come at me, if you must. By turning the sidewalk into her personal boxing ring, she converts fear into adrenaline, bruises into badges and every drop of dried blood into proof that she is still standing.

Behind the charged imagery lies a message of resilience and self-ownership. The repeated vow “J’vais marcher” (“I’m going to walk”) becomes a mantra about claiming space when you are queer, female or simply different. The walker is tired of feeling ashamed, so she walks straight toward the violence that once cornered her, determined to redraw the rules with her own body. In that march she discovers clarity, freedom and the thrill of surviving “la violence facile” – the cheap shots the world throws. The song turns vulnerability into muscle, proving that persistence can be as rebellious and liberating as any punch.
