Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.
All the boys and girls my age
Stroll down the street two by two
All the boys and girls my age
Know exactly what being happy is
And eye to eye, and hand in hand
They walk off in love without fear of tomorrow
Yeah but me, I walk alone through the streets, heart aching
Yeah but me, I walk alone, 'cause nobody loves me
My days like my nights
Are exactly the same
No joy, full of boredom
Nobody whispers
“I love you” in my ear
All the boys and girls my age
They make future plans together
All the boys and girls my age
They know very well what loving means
And eye to eye, and hand in hand
They walk off in love without fear of tomorrow
Yeah but me, I walk alone through the streets, heart aching
Yeah but me, I walk alone, 'cause nobody loves me
My days like my nights
Are exactly the same
No joy, full of boredom
So when for me
Will the sun shine
Like the boys and girls my age
Will I soon know what love is
Like the boys and girls my age
I wonder when the day will come
When eye to eye, and hand in hand
I’ll have a happy heart without fear of tomorrow
The day when my soul won’t ache at all anymore
The day when I too will have someone who loves me
Did you like these lyrics?
SONG MEANING

Lonely strolls, hopeful hearts

In Coeur De Pirate’s nostalgic cover of “Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles,” we follow a young woman who watches couples glide past her, hand in hand, eyes sparkling with promises of tomorrow. They seem to know the secret recipe for happiness, while she wanders the same streets alone, her soul “en peine” (in pain). Every day blends into the next—no whispered je t’aime, no shared plans for the future—so the singer’s world feels flat and colorless compared to the vivid romance all around her.

Yet beneath the melancholy lies a flicker of optimism. She asks herself when her own sun will shine, imagining the moment she can finally walk “les yeux dans les yeux” with someone who loves her back. The song captures that universal, bittersweet checkpoint between adolescence and adulthood when everyone seems paired up except you. It turns solitude into a gentle anthem of hope, reminding us that love may be late to arrive, but the anticipation can be just as poetic as the real thing.
