Encore Une Fois Lyrics in English Julien Lieb

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Encore Une Fois by Julien Lieb from French to English.
I face every day
the violence of this love, in fact
I'm not ready for that
But I believe in it
I could bring out
everything I've got in my head
But I'm afraid of losing you
again
again
again
I cried in the hollow
of my hands
again
again
time passes
I only have images left
this love
I only have the legacy left
again
the hardest part will still be the landing
I dreamed so much of holding your hand
so much dreamed of caressing your face
I woke up one fine morning
lifeless
faithless
I've lost my bearings so far from you
offscreen
I see you
I face every day
the violence of this love, in fact
I'm not ready for that
But I believe in it
I could bring out
everything I've got in my head
But I'm afraid of losing you
again
again
again
I cried in the hollow
of my hands
again
again
I face every day
the violence of this love, in fact
I'm not ready for that
But I believe in it
I could bring out
everything I've got in my head
But I'm afraid of losing you
again
again
again
I cried in the hollow
of my hands
again
again

SONG MEANING

Julien Lieb’s “Encore Une Fois” is a raw French pop ballad that dives head-first into the turbulence of passionate love. From the very first line, the singer confesses that he brushes up against the violence of his feelings every single day. He is not ready for emotions this strong, yet he still believes in them. The repeated plea “Encore une fois” (Once again) captures a heartbreaking loop: he longs to open up, but the fear of losing his partner keeps silencing him.

Memories, dreams, and reality collide. He remembers clutching his hands in tears, replaying the last images of the relationship, and waking up “amorphe, sans foi” – numb and faithless – far from the one he loves. Even the metaphor of a difficult “landing” hints that falling out of love can feel like a crash. Still, the hope of holding that hand one more time persists. Lieb’s lyrics paint a relatable portrait of love’s push-and-pull: the craving to speak, the terror of loss, and the stubborn spark of belief that survives every heartbreak… encore une fois.
