Des Portes Entre Nous Lyrics in English David Hallyday

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Des Portes Entre Nous by David Hallyday from French to English.
Like a door we slam
A light we turn off
No, I won't tell you anything
Often words sound more cowardly
Than the silences we hold back
I love what's left on the surface
That you can read easily
In a glance, in a movement
I leave speeches where they belong
I can't pretend
But the doors we slam
Always swing wide open
When we shut down, when we clash
Everything we feel
I feel, I feel
I go quiet to let
The sirens of the past
Slowly drown
I prefer the sound of your voice
My mouth against your finger
But the doors we slam
Always swing wide open
When we shut down, when we clash
Everything we feel
I feel, I feel, I feel
Outro
If you open fire
Odd and high, I'm out of the game
In front of my mirror I feel better
I've put weapons in my eyes
More than doors between the two of us
More than doors between the two of us
More than doors between the two of us
More than doors between the two of us

SONG MEANING

Des Portes Entre Nous takes you right into that charged moment when a door slams and the room suddenly feels too quiet. David Hallyday paints a scene of raw emotions where spoken words often feel weaker than the silence that follows. He prefers eye contact, a gesture, or the sound of a loved one’s voice to long speeches. Every slammed door, he reminds us, can swing back open wide when we finally let our feelings breathe.

Under the catchy pop-rock surface, the song explores how lovers build and break down barriers. Past mistakes are “sirens” fading away, while new “weapons in the eyes” give courage to face the truth. In the end, there is more than just doors between two people; there is the constant choice to shut each other out or open up completely. The track invites listeners to skip the drama, trust genuine connection, and keep those doors wide open.
