Monde Nouveau Lyrics in English Feu! Chatterton

Home / Lyrics Translation / Feu! Chatterton / Monde Nouveau

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Monde Nouveau by Feu! Chatterton from French to English.

A wind, a great new wind

Blew over the land, scorching hot

In a bath, a devout crowd bath

Half amazed, we were getting wet lazily

Ice was melting in the Spritzes, it made no sense

Everybody in town complained about the sub-Saharan climate

We had no morale, yet we still replied

To every word, the quips from the central server

A new world, we all dreamed of it

But what did we know how to do with our hands

A new world, we all dreamed of it

But what did we know how to do with our hands

Nothing, catching Bluetooth

What did we know how to do with our hands

Almost nothing, almost nothing

The world, the world of tomorrow

We all stuttered it without getting a thing

Facing the new law of the elements

That freaked us out and gave us goosebumps at the same time

Clarity hung under our nose in its bright blue light

We were caught, done, surrounded; the evidence was before our eyes

Like an advert that hid the sky from us

Millions of pixels rained on the central server

A new world, we all dreamed of it

But what did we know how to do with our hands

A new world, we all dreamed of it

But what did we know how to do with our hands

Nothing, catching Bluetooth

What did we know how to do with our hands

Almost nothing, almost nothing, almost nothing

To hold each other in our arms

To catch each other in our arms

That we could do

To hold each other in our arms

To catch each other in our arms

That we could do

We could

We could, we could, we could

A new world

To hold each other in our arms

To catch each other in our arms

To hold each other in our arms

That we could do

A new world, we all dreamed of it

But what did we know how to do with our hands

A new world, we all dreamed of it

But what did we know how to do with our hands

SONG MEANING

“Monde Nouveau” paints a sun-drenched yet unsettling snapshot of our hyper-connected era. Feu! Chatterton drops us into a sweltering city where ice melts in cocktails, screens shower us with pixels, and everyone dreams of a shiny “new world.” The lyrics poke fun at how easily we chat with a “central server” while feeling powerless to fix the very planet that is overheating around us. Climate anxiety, digital overload, and a sense of collective bewilderment swirl together like an Aperol Spritz under a blazing sky.

Yet the song isn’t all doom and gloom. It ends with a simple, almost rebellious discovery: we can still use our hands for something real – hugging one another. In the face of technological burnout and environmental fears, the chorus reminds us that human touch and solidarity might be our most authentic tools for building that long-imagined “monde nouveau.”
