Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Chant Des Sirènes by Fréro Delavega from French to English.

Kids of the parks, kids of the beaches

The wind threatens the sandcastles shaped by my fingers

Time spares nobody, alas

The years go by, the echo slips off over the Dune of Pilat

At the whim of seasons, of photo booths

I surrender to those glimmers of yesterday

At the whim of seasons, of decisions

I surrender

When memories get tangled, tears come to me

And the sirens' song throws me back into winter

Cruel melancholy, thin harmony, solitary euphoria

Tadalalala, tadalalala

Tadalalala, tadalala

How many pranks, how many antics

How many traces, how many masks did we leave back there

Lay down arms, head out to sea

Find calm in this racket before I drown in it

At the whim of seasons, of photo booths

I surrender to those glimmers of yesterday

At the whim of seasons, of decisions

I surrender

When memories get tangled, tears come to me

And the sirens' song throws me back into winter

Cruel melancholy, thin harmony, solitary euphoria

When memories get tangled, tears come to me

And the sirens' song throws me back into winter

Cruel melancholy, thin harmony, solitary euphoria

When memories get tangled, tears come to me

And the sirens' song throws me back into winter

Cruel melancholy, thin harmony, solitary euphoria

Tadalalala, tadalalala

Tadalalala, tadalala

Tadalalala, tadalalala

Tadalalala, tadalala

SONG MEANING

Le Chant Des Sirènes is a nostalgic postcard from the French Atlantic coast. Fréro Delavega rewinds to childhood afternoons spent building sand-castle kingdoms by the Dune du Pilat, snapping goofy photobooth pictures, and running free with salty wind in their hair. Those carefree moments now live only in memory, and the passing of time feels like waves slowly erasing footprints in the sand.

Each chorus imagines an invisible siren song that drifts in with winter air, pulling the singer back into a whirl of emotions: mélancolie cruelle for what is lost, harmonie fluette for the fragile beauty of the past, and euphorie solitaire for the joy of solitary reflection. The track is both a gentle plea to lay down one’s weapons against time and an invitation to sail away toward inner calm before nostalgia becomes overwhelming. It is a bittersweet celebration of how our brightest memories can comfort us and haunt us at the very same moment.
