Le Feu Lyrics in English Kendji Girac , Vianney

Home / Lyrics translation / Kendji Girac / Le Feu

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Feu by Kendji Girac from French to English.

The last time

Crazy girl

Let's go

I don't have the words to soak up your sorrow

I've only got my hands to tell you about mine

I've worked without counting my weeks

I didn't steal the life I'm bringing you

I didn't want it to smother ours

I did everything so the 'us' would win

I knew you were simple, but I saw you alone

You were all burnt out yet so young

why?

Tell me, why?

So I had to row

To bring you back better

Deep in my eyes

I lit a fire

for you

Just for you

I make you the promise

of my very best

And if a downpour comes

I'll shield the embers

I make you the promise

of a life of light

And if the snow falls

I'll shield the embers

The fire

I can't fight the wind

And hold back what I feel

I want you to know my desire

I can't move the clouds

But I can be your coat

Whenever you want to ask me

You were lonely

Thoughtful

I thought you were strong

I didn't get it

why

Tell me why

Take my heart

I give you my song

For when it's gonna get cold

I've made a fire

Burning

I make you the promise

of my very best

And if a downpour comes

I'll shield the embers

I make you the promise

of a life of light

And if the snow falls

I'll shield the embers

The fire

My musical promise

For your hellish days

When you cry

I promise I'll be there

I promise you a whole blaze

A thousand flames

Deep in my eyes

I lit a fire

Deep in my eyes

I lit a fire

I make you the promise

of my very best

And if a downpour comes

I'll shield the embers

I make you the promise

of a life of light

And if the snow falls

I'll shield the embers

The fire

Hmm

braises — embers

Braises translates to "embers" in English. It's a less common word than "feu" (fire) and carries a deeper, more enduring connotation.

In the song, Kendji sings, "Je protège les braises d'une vie de lumière" (I protect the embers of a life of light). This imagery suggests not just a fleeting flame, but a sustained, warm glow—a promise of lasting love and protection, even through difficult times. It's a beautiful and poetic way to express commitment.

"Le Feu" ignites a heartfelt dialogue between Kendji Girac and Vianney, mixing French and Spanish to paint love as a glowing campfire. The singers admit their limits: they cannot stop the wind or move the clouds, yet they can spark a flame strong enough to warm two lonely souls. Throughout the verses they promise to protect the embers when rain pours or snow falls, showing that true devotion means guarding even the smallest glow until it blazes again.

Behind the catchy Latin-pop rhythm lies a reassuring message: real strength is not about grand gestures, it is about steady care. By pledging “le meilleur de moi-même” and “mi promesa musical,” the duo turns music itself into a blanket of light, ready to chase away sadness and fear. "Le Feu" is therefore both a love song and a survival kit for the heart, reminding listeners that a single spark of kindness, nurtured with patience, can outshine any storm.
