Tourner Dans Le Vide Lyrics in English Indila

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tourner Dans Le Vide by Indila from French to English.
He was dark, bronzed skin
Shy gaze, hands all battered
He carved stone, a worker's son
He was proud of it, so why are you laughing
No, don't judge him
You who don't know
The vertigo and the toil
You're falsely happy, you swap your values
He's my whole world and way more
Alone, I scream his name when despair comes
And then everything falls apart when he's not here
I'd love so much to tell him but I don't dare
He who makes me
Spin in the void, void
Spin in the void, void
Spin in the void, he makes me spin
In the void, void, void
Spin, spin in the void
Spin in the void, he makes me spin
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Who can tell me what happened
Since he left, I haven't been able to stand again
It's just a memory, a tear from the past
Stuck in my eyes that won't go away
No, don't laugh
You who don't know
The vertigo and the pain
They're superficial, they know nothing of the heart
He was my whole world, and way more
I hope to see him again over there in the beyond
Help me, everything's collapsing since he's not here
Do you know, my lovely love, my handsome soldier
That you make me
Spin in the void, void
Spin in the void, void
Spin in the void, you make me spin
In the void, void, void
Spin, spin in the void
Spin in the void, he makes me spin
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
He makes me spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
He makes me spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
Spin in the void
He makes me spin
Spin in the void

SONG MEANING

Feel the whirl of love and loss! In “Tourner Dans Le Vide,” French singer Indila paints the portrait of a young woman madly in love with a modest stone-carver. He is brun, with work-worn hands and a shy gaze, yet he is her whole universe. While society mocks his humble status, she treasures his pride in honest labor. The chorus, « Il me fait tourner dans le vide » (“He makes me spin in emptiness”), captures that dizzying rush of affection that makes the world blur when he is near.

Suddenly he is gone—possibly fallen in battle, hinted by her tender words « mon beau soldat ». Grief hits like a cliff-edge drop, leaving her trapped in a swirling void of memories. Friends and onlookers, blind to real heartache, cannot grasp the depth of her pain. The song’s pounding beat mirrors her emotional vertigo: love, social prejudice, pride, and devastating absence all spin together. By the final refrain we are left turning in that same empty space, feeling both the sweetness of devotion and the aching hollow it can leave behind.
