Où Va Le Monde Lyrics in English La Femme

Home / Lyrics Translation / La Femme / Où Va Le Monde

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Où Va Le Monde by La Femme from French to English.

But where's the world going

Why do I sometimes wonder if girls and boys are so cruel

Where are my real friends

Why am I wary

What on earth have we done with all those sacrifices

Yeah, nobody's faithful but life still has to stay beautiful

And no matter if man stays so cruel to the ones he loves

We probably have to forgive, put our ego aside

Why does everyone

lie to themselves and mess up till they crawl into total misery

Give my trust and my heart

Why does that scare me so much

Is that really normal

No, it's not normal

And me

I don't want to be the sucker anymore

I don't want to waste my life anymore

With dramas

that always end in tears or nightmares

I don't wanna brood anymore

I don't respect myself anymore

I don't respect you anymore

Too bad for that

I keep on my way

You're already very, very far

Far behind me

Yes, it was a beautiful story

To finally hush my thunder-struck gaze, without turning around

I leave like I came, even more disappointed

And the worst part is I'm still a stranger to you

For pity's sake, stop sticking knives in my back

Or my body'll end up becoming

a mesh of scars that will hold in me

only the bad sides of you

From now on I can't take it anymore

I want to leave far, far away

I cry and I sniffle

It's the last tear that makes my eyes overflow

and made me unhappy

But where's the world going

Where's the world going

But where's the world going

Why every time I try to do things right, they always go wrong

Why do people lie to themselves

Why do people mess up

Do you too sometimes wonder why

Life's so complicated

Especially when two people

love each other and seem fine together, it looks so easy

So how come every time it ends in tears

I'm sick of pointless stories

I'm sick of all those torturers

and all those victims

Man contradicts himself all day long

He doesn't know what he wants and that's why we hurt each other

Is that really normal

There are questions I know I'll never get the answer to

There are things we can't do anything about

We probably have to laugh them off and walk through

But me

I won't be the sucker anymore

I don't want to waste my life anymore

With dramas

that always end in drama or nightmares

I don't wanna brood anymore

SONG MEANING

“Où Va Le Monde” throws us into a neon-tinted roller-coaster of doubts, heartbreak, and rebellion. Over pulsing synths, La Femme’s narrator bombards the universe with questions: Why are people so cruel? Where did real friendship go? Why do love stories crumble into tears and nightmares? She’s exasperated by a world that lies, betrays, and leaves scars, yet she still clings to the hope that life should stay beautiful.

Faced with endless disappointments, she finally snaps out of victim mode and plants her flag of independence. No more being the “bonne poire” — she vows to ditch toxic dramas, protect her heart, and stride far ahead of the pain. The song is both a lament and an anthem: it captures the messy contradictions of human relationships then flips them into a fierce declaration of self-worth and forward motion.
