Nue Lyrics in English Clara Luciani

Home / Lyrics Translation / Clara Luciani / Nue

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nue by Clara Luciani from French to English.

I'm dreaming, pinch me to see

I admit it's hard, it's hard to believe

I'm the one who sang tonight

Was it really me, really me who was singing?

Am I uglier or prettier

Than in the photo on my orange record

Am I even the one

The one I seem to be

I change often

Look, come on, look at me, you see

I've taken off my jewelry

I've washed the black off my eyes

Took the pink off my cheeks

And I come to you naked

Took the pink off my cheeks

And I come to you naked

Took the pink off my cheeks

And I come to you naked

Like an Italian mourner

Oh my good little, my good little soldier

How do you prefer me?

As a heroine or a war casualty

This life I live in

Sometimes it's beyond me, sometimes it's too small

Afraid my luck will leave me

I run everywhere, I get bored fast

Look, come on, look at me, you see

I've taken off my jewelry

I've washed the black off my eyes

Took the pink off my cheeks

And I come to you naked

Took the pink off my cheeks

And I come to you naked

Took the pink off my cheeks

And I come to you naked

Outro

Look, come on, look at me, you see

I've taken off my jewelry

I've washed the black off my eyes

Took the pink off my cheeks

And I come to you naked

Took the pink off my cheeks

And I come to you naked

SONG MEANING

Nue (“Naked”) feels like Clara Luciani stepping off the stage and into a quiet room with us. After the rush of performing, she pinches herself to check if fame is real, then asks the mirror: Am I prettier or uglier than the photo on my orange record? By listing the little things she removes—jewelry, eye-liner, rosy blush—she turns undressing into a symbol of peeling away every layer of persona. The song is about craving authenticity, fearing that success might slip away, and wondering who she truly is beneath the spotlights.

Yet the mood is anything but gloomy. There is playful honesty in how she offers different “roles” to her listener—Italian mourner, fearless heroine, wounded soldier—before admitting she gets bored quickly and runs everywhere. Luciani’s warm voice turns self-doubt into an intimate confession, inviting us to accept our own contradictions. The chorus, repeating “Et je viens nue vers toi” (“And I come naked to you”), celebrates the courage of showing up raw and real, trusting that the people who matter will love what they see.
