Amour Censure Lyrics in English Hoshi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amour Censure by Hoshi from French to English.
In the closet, my feelings
Above all, say nothing and pretend
Stand apart, a bit tilted
At the ship's end, I'm sinking slowly
Mom, sorry, I'm not gonna lie to you
It's hard to erase everything that draws me in
A bit overwhelmed by all my desires
Dad, it's true I grew crooked
I'm a flower fighting between two stones
I've got a f*cked-up heart from good manners
Are we ever gonna finish
With hatred and insults
Will somebody come tell them
That we love each other and it's not impure
So I won't think about ending it
Your blows gave me some swagger
For better and for worse
I'll take your hand one day, that's for sure
There's no censored love
There's only sincere love
There's no censored love
There's only sincere love
Disguising who I really am
Silencing the rumor
Words are sharp
Lying to ourselves till we rip out our teeth
They're looking for a doctor
We suffer without looking sick
Mom, sorry, I took your pills
It's not that I wanted to leave but it's violent
I just wanted to sleep a bit longer
Dad, don't worry, I learned to run
I want a family to feed too
We don't care next to whom I'll fall asleep
Are we ever gonna finish
With hatred and insults
Will somebody come tell them
That we love each other and it's not impure
So I won't think about ending it
Your blows gave me some swagger
For better and for worse
I'll take their hand one day, that's for sure
Are we ever gonna finish
With hatred and insults
Will somebody come tell them
That we love each other and it's not impure
So I won't think about ending it
Your blows gave me some swagger
For better and for worse
I'll take their hand one day, that's for sure
There's no censored love
There's only sincere love
Kids are for a man and a woman
There's no censored love
Absolutely not for homosexuals
There's only sincere love

SONG MEANING

“Amour Censure” is a bold, emotional anthem about refusing to let society police who we love. Through confessions to mom and dad, Hoshi paints the picture of a young person who has been told to hide their feelings, “put them in the closet,” and conform to “good manners.” The lyrics shift between vulnerability and defiance: moments of exhaustion (“I just wanted to sleep a little longer”) sit next to promises of resilience (“Your blows have given me style”). The repeating question “Will we ever be done with hate and insults?” turns the track into a plea for acceptance, especially for LGBTQ+ couples who are often told their love is “impure.”

Yet the chorus keeps returning to one unshakable truth: “Il n’y a pas d’amour censure, il n’y a que de l’amour sincère” (“There is no censored love, only sincere love”). Even the hateful voice that appears near the end—“Children are for a man and a woman… not for homosexuals”—is overshadowed by that mantra. In the end, the song celebrates authenticity, courage, and the belief that love, when honest, needs no permission.
