Le Lac Lyrics in English Julien Doré

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Lac by Julien Doré from French to English.
The hand gives gold
And the lake appears
Courageous efforts
Where nothing breathes
Body against body
Sky against lashes
The forest twists
The horizon sighs
To love you on the lake shores
Your heart on my breathing body
As long as men watch us
In love with shadow and the worst
To love you on the lake shores
Your heart on my breathing body
As long as men watch us
In love with shadow and the worst
I'll come back strong
Surprise the summit
The river and the gold
Make me take root
I cheated death
The slope's easy
Serve me again
Let my angels waver
To love you on the lake shores
Your heart on my breathing body
As long as men watch us
In love with shadow and the worst
If tomorrow you regret
The scarred mirror
That the lake reflects you
Promise me you'll forget
If tomorrow you regret
The scarred mirror
That the lake reflects you
Promise me you'll forget
To love you on the lake shores
Your heart on my breathing body
As long as men watch us
In love with shadow and the worst
To love you on the lake shores
Your heart on my breathing body
As long as men watch us
In love with shadow and the worst

SONG MEANING

🌊 "Le Lac" invites us to a hypnotic lakeside rendez-vous where nature, desire, and danger swirl together. Julien Doré paints the water as a mirror for passionate love: “Your heart on my breathing body.” The lake’s ripples echo the lovers’ pulses, while forests twist, horizons sigh, and even angels wobble. This is a place where life and death, gold and shadow, mingle in one shimmering scene.

✨ Beneath the romance hides a daring thrill. The singer longs to be watched by the world — “May the men look at us” — celebrating a love unafraid of its darker shades. If regret comes tomorrow, the lake itself will beg you to forget. In short, the song is a poetic plunge into head-over-heels passion, set against a wild, almost mythic landscape that blurs the line between ecstasy and peril.
