L'île Au Lendemain Lyrics in English Julien Doré , Clara Luciani

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'île Au Lendemain by Julien Doré from French to English.
What's left
Two or three things
So you can dream
So you can dream
I'm what's left
It's not much
So you can hope
So you can hope
All that's useless
We sank the island the next day
All that's useless
All that's useless
We sank the island the next day
All that's useless
Two or three times
I struck a pose
To dislike myself
To dislike myself
In the mirrors
Of those who talk
Instead of doing
Instead of doing
All that's useless
We sank the island the next day
All that's useless
All that's useless
All that's useless
We sank the island the next day
All that's useless
All that's useless

SONG MEANING

Imagine waking up on a tiny island called Tomorrow, only to discover it has already sunk beneath the waves. That bittersweet image sits at the heart of “L’île au Lendemain,” where Julien Doré and Clara Luciani trade tender lines about shattered hopes. They ask “Il reste quoi ?” – “What’s left?” – and find that dreams have washed away, leaving only the fragile comfort of “Il reste moi” (“There is still me”). Their duet feels like a quiet conversation at dawn, equal parts resignation and devotion.

Behind the hypnotic refrain “Tout ça n'sert à rien” (“All of this is useless”), the song sketches a world where people strike poses in the mirror, talk instead of act, and ultimately let the future sink. Yet the presence of the two voices keeps a small flame alive: if everything else fails, we can still be here for each other. It is a melancholic love song and a gentle wake-up call wrapped in dreamy pop – reminding us that tomorrow survives only when we care enough to keep it afloat.
