Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ai-je Perdu Le Nord ? by Clio from French to English.

I wanted to leave it all in Paris

I thought nothing was worth it

I wanted to be everywhere in Paris

Since I thought nothing had any taste

I cut everything short

I wanted to play the thug

Nothing in my pockets

I slammed the door

I wanted to play the daredevil

And I left everywhere

I got lost all the time

I ended up I don't know where

I don't know why or how

Why How

Have I lost my bearings

There's nobody anywhere

Is everybody deaf

Is everybody dead

There's nobody around

Have I lost my bearings

There's nobody anywhere

Is everybody deaf

Is everybody dead

I wanted to split with no cash

All alone in my truck

Live a scandalous life

Like a heroine on the run

Goodbye boredom, I fade out

I want the night, the stars

I laugh out loud

I steal from the stalls, you chase me, I bolt

And I left everywhere

I got lost all the time

I ended up I don't know where

I don't know why or how

Why How

Have I lost my bearings

There's nobody anywhere

Is everybody deaf

Is everybody dead

There's nobody around

Have I lost my bearings

There's nobody anywhere

Is everybody deaf

Is everybody dead

I live all alone in my silence

I dance my farandole, I confide in myself

I face myself or comfort myself

And then I dance

There's not a soul on my vacation

There's only me still dancing

Who lifts an arm, starts again

There's only me still dancing

Have I lost my bearings

There's nobody anywhere

Is everybody deaf

Is everybody dead

There's nobody around

Have I lost my bearings

There's nobody anywhere

Is everybody deaf

Is everybody dead

SONG MEANING

Have I lost my compass? That is the question Clio turns into a catchy road-trip anthem in Ai-je Perdu Le Nord ?. The singer bolts out of Paris with empty pockets and big dreams of mischief, convinced that nothing in the city tastes right anymore. She speeds off in a battered van, chases star-lit nights, laughs loudly at market stalls, and tries on the role of a runaway heroine. Yet every detour ends the same way: she arrives “I-don’t-know-where,” wonders “why” and “how,” and finds the streets eerily silent. Her repeated cry “Y’a plus personne” (“There’s no one left”) turns the song into both a fun escapade and a haunting echo of loneliness.

Beneath the carefree melody lies a bittersweet truth. Clio’s flight is really an inner voyage, a dance she shares only with her own reflection. She confesses, consoles herself, and keeps moving, because stillness might reveal just how lost she feels. The song captures that familiar mix of wanderlust and disorientation: the thrill of abandoning routine, the fear of vanishing in the noise you tried to outrun, and the stubborn spark that makes you keep dancing when the party seems over. Listeners are invited to join her on the open road, feel the wind of freedom, and ponder whether getting lost is sometimes the first step to finding yourself.
