Dernière Danse Lyrics in English Kyo

Home / Lyrics Translation / Kyo / Dernière Danse

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dernière Danse by Kyo from French to English.

I've long explored her body

Brushed her face a hundred times

I found gold

And even some stars while wiping her tears

And I learned by heart the purity of her shapes

Sometimes I still draw them

She's part of me

I just want one last dance

Before the shadow and indifference

Vertigo then silence

I just want one last dance

I met her too soon but it's not my fault

The arrow pierced my skin

It's a pain you keep

That does more good than harm

But I know the story, it's already too late

In her gaze, you can see

That she's getting ready for the long trip

I just want one last dance

Before the shadow and indifference

Vertigo then silence

I just want one last dance

I could die tomorrow

But it changes nothing

I got from her hands

Happiness anchored in my soul

It's even too much for one man

I saw her leave without a word

She just needed to breathe

Thanks for enchanting my life

Before the shadow and indifference

Vertigo then silence

I just want one last dance

I've long explored her body

Brushed her face a hundred times

I found gold

And even some stars

While wiping her tears

I learned by heart

The purity of her shapes

Sometimes I still draw them

She's part of me

SONG MEANING

“Dernière Danse” is a bittersweet love letter set to music. In this modern French classic, the singer revisits every inch of a past lover’s body and soul, describing her skin as gold and her tears as stars. These glowing images clash with a looming sense of farewell: he begs for “just one last dance” before the lights go out, the music stops, and indifference settles in. The song’s chorus feels like standing on the edge of a cliff—one final spin, a dizzying rush, then silence.

The lyrics move from tender memories to painful acceptance. An arrow of love has pierced him; the wound hurts yet strangely heals, leaving behind a deep gratitude. He knows she is already on her “long voyage,” and nothing—not even his own mortality—can undo the joy she placed in his heart. “Dernière Danse” captures that fragile instant when love shifts from present tense to memory, wrapping heartbreak and thankfulness into one unforgettable refrain.
