Lueurs Lyrics in English Gaël Faye

Turn off the lights, crank up the volume, and step into Gaël Faye’s blazing universe. “Lueurs” paints a cinematic journey that starts on the “rails of hell” and sails across an ocean that feels as heavy as the Congo’s colonial past. With rapid-fire poetry, Faye compresses centuries of oppression into vivid snapshots: chained hulls, “strange fruit” swinging from trees, knees pressed on necks, and racist smiles peeling off French walls. The song’s torrent of images—boats, exodus, riots, tornados of tears—reminds us how history keeps echoing in the present, how violence can feel as suffocating as a jungle in Calais.

Yet the chorus erupts like a flare in the night: “Invincible is our ardor.” Faye flips pain into power, shadow into lueurs—glimmers of stubborn hope. He promises that new generations will stand tall, that their inner fire will dazzle every darkness staring them down. By the final beat, “Lueurs” is not just a protest, it’s a rallying cry: a reminder that words can weaponize dignity, that even in the deepest gloom, bright sparks keep breaking free.
