Verse 1
City kid or country kid
We all make ourselves an island
To be okay
No jobs on the horizon
It's not that we're dumb, no, it's that there's too many of us
So we hunt for a little joy
To carry the load when things go wrong
And tomorrow the clock will stop
As George would say, it goes without saying
Chorus 1
We'll go party
We'll go live like kings
To clear our heads
Forget everything, you see
We'll go party
We'll go live like kings
To clear our heads
To forget
Postchorus 1
To forget
To forget
To forget
Verse 2
The time we spend crying piles up in our suitcases
It's time that breaks our backs, that shatters them
Forget the clock that turns and kills us
As George would say, of course
Chorus 2
We'll go party
We'll go live like kings
To clear our heads
Forget everything, you see
We'll go party
We'll go live like kings
To clear our heads
To forget
Postchorus 2
To forget
To forget
To forget

There's no more future nor past
There's no more future nor past
There's no more future nor past

There's no more future nor past
There's no more future nor past

s'amoncelle — piles up / accumulates

S'amoncelle is a reflexive verb meaning 'to pile up' or 'to accumulate'. It's a more descriptive and less common word than basic verbs, making it interesting for learners.

In the song, Kendji sings, "Le temps qu'on passe à pleurer s'amoncelle dans nos valises" (The time we spend crying piles up in our suitcases). This powerful imagery suggests that sadness and difficult times are not just fleeting moments, but burdens that accumulate and weigh us down, making the desire to "forget" even stronger.

Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders? French artist Kendji Girac has the perfect remedy in his upbeat anthem, "Pour Oublier," which literally means "To Forget." This song is all about finding a temporary escape from life's problems. Whether you're from the big city or the quiet countryside, Girac sings that everyone faces challenges like unemployment and the heavy burden of sadness. His solution? It's time to party!

"Pour Oublier" is a call to let loose and live in the moment. The song invites you to:

  • "Faire la fête" (Go party)
  • "Faire les rois" (Act like kings)
  • "Danser, danser" (Dance, dance)

The goal is to clear your head and forget everything that's weighing you down, even if just for one night. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes, the best way to cope is to stop worrying about the past or future and simply enjoy the present.
