Fille Du Vent Lyrics in English Keny Arkana

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fille Du Vent by Keny Arkana from French to English.
Free like the wind
I've set sail, yeah, I've killed the impossible
Here, star child, free of woes, I fled
Out at sea I release my rage and wipe my tears
I flow then bolt when the signs decide
I bow to life, even my freak-outs give in
On the road to the unknown, I write my tale
Promised land, my exile, far from what the world flaunts
Daughter of the wind, of the enigma, free yet dignified
I set myself free, eternal pilgrim
Worthy enemy of routine
Head full of rhymes while their world is sinking
Sobbing, I left for where the sun wears a smile
Seeking what only the soul remembers
Freedom, my laughing fit, she guides my voice
I fight inertia, call me
Call me Daughter of the Wind
Because I fight inertia, I run from routine
Call me, call me Daughter of the Wind
Because life is motion
Their system is only quicksand
Call me Daughter of the Wind
Because I was born to live between the meshes of your nets
Call me, call me Daughter of the Wind
Because routine harms
Because life is motion
And I want to honor it
I move forward, between highs and lows
I bounce back when the ground crumbles under my feet
I grew up under a star in crisis, who to believe in
Icy world, frozen ice floe
Maybe unstable, oh well
Alive as long as adventure calls me
By walking on the earth I heal my pain
Burst of madness in others' eyes
I spin around the sun
Free as air and a smile on my lips
From train to train, I slipped out the window
To be free, I took hits before I was old enough for it
So f*ck your morals
Maybe I grab the chance for una vida loca
My life, an anthem to audacity
Everyone in their place? Never
The earth is my country, pilgrimage or journey
Be free or perish
Like a trickle of pure water on my burning wounds
Plugged into the present, call me
Call me Daughter of the Wind
Because I fight inertia, I run from routine
Call me, call me Daughter of the Wind
Because life is motion
Their system is only quicksand
Call me Daughter of the Wind
Because I was born to live between the meshes of your nets
Call me, call me Daughter of the Wind
Because routine harms
Because life is motion
And I want to honor it
I'm only okay when in motion
Finding myself without my torments
By opening it, I look for God far from crowds and convents
I often thought about quitting everything to live my spirit fully
The modern world is so exhausting
But my mission is here, so I leave and come back
Showing my path started from nothing
My steps come from far and aren't done walking
Until sunrise or when death comes to get me
I'll leave as free as when I arrived
Between the tides life taught me to navigate
From experience to experience like a blade to be filed
I polish my stone till I see my own suns line up
Daughter of the wind, I never forgot we're all brothers
That we don't stain the sun with dust
Heart open, I find my wings again
Don't blame me if I desert the system
Call me Daughter of the Wind
Because I fight inertia, I run from routine
Call me, call me Daughter of the Wind
Because life is motion
Their system is only quicksand
Call me Daughter of the Wind
Because I was born to live between the meshes of your nets
Call me, call me Daughter of the Wind
Because routine harms
Because life is motion
And I want to honor it
Daughter of the wind
Call me, call me Daughter of the Wind
Call me Daughter of the Wind
Call me, call me Daughter of the Wind

SONG MEANING

“Fille du Vent” invites us to hitch a ride on the invisible currents that carry French rapper Keny Arkana across borders, fears and expectations. Rapping in rapid-fire poetry, she presents herself as a daughter of the wind — restless, uncatchable and fiercely alive. The lyrics describe a traveller who slips “between the meshes of your nets,” refusing to be pinned down by routine, consumer culture or social injustice. Each stanza is a snapshot of perpetual motion: trains, tides, sunrises and long roads toward an unknown “promised land.” Wherever she roams, freedom is both her compass and her laughter, healing old wounds while exposing the “moving-sand system” she leaves behind.

At its core, the song is an anthem to liberty, resilience and mindful rebellion. Arkana shows that true freedom is not a destination but an ongoing pilgrimage where every setback becomes a rhythm, every tear turns into ink and every step is a vote against inertia. By the final chorus she invites us to adopt the same title — “Call me Daughter of the Wind” — so we, too, can celebrate life as ceaseless movement and honor our own untamed spirit.
