Tu Vas Manquer Lyrics in English Kendji Girac

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Vas Manquer by Kendji Girac from French to English.
Tada, tada, tada
Tada, tada, tada
A summer leaving is sometimes someone
All these people are here for you, even the ones you loved less
Our memories running, into a tissue
You couldn't find anything cooler for us to meet up
And it's true I forget your little flaws
So tell me how it feels to be a hero
Our memories shouting deep inside me
How will life be without you?
I tell myself, I tell myself, we loved you
My friend, my friend, you'll be missed
Tada, tada, tada
Tada, tada, tada
The worst speech will surely be mine
How ordinary we can be when we hurt
Our memories banging inside me
My suit's all messed up, you see
I tell myself, I tell myself, we loved you
My friend, my friend, you'll be missed
Tada, tada, tada
Tada, tada, tada
And way up there in your garden
We wish you a thousand buddies
And way up there on your mountain
Waiting till we join you
I tell myself, I tell myself, we loved you
My friend, my friend, you'll be missed
I tell myself, I tell myself, we loved you
My friend, my friend, you'll be missed

SONG MEANING

Picture a warm summer evening fading into sunset: the party lights are still twinkling, music is still playing, but one important friend has slipped away. That bittersweet scene is the heartbeat of Kendji Girac’s “Tu Vas Manquer.” Singing over energetic Latin-flavored guitar riffs, Kendji speaks directly to a departed buddy, laughing at old inside jokes, admitting he sometimes found the friend’s quirks annoying, and finally confessing the simple truth: mon ami, tu vas manquer – my friend, we are going to miss you. Each tada-tada chorus feels like memories bursting up in little fireworks, equal parts celebration and ache.

Despite the sadness, the song carries an uplifting sparkle. Kendji imagines his friend “up high in the garden” making a thousand new pals and waits confidently for the day they will meet again. By mixing upbeat rhythms with tender lyrics, he turns grief into a toast to friendship: a reminder that goodbyes are temporary, stories live on, and every shared laugh keeps a loved one close.
