Sphynx Lyrics in English La Femme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sphynx by La Femme from French to English.
Dancing on acid
And feeling like a feather that flies, that flies with the wind
I tower over mountains and head toward Babylon
I endure through time, I feel like a Sphynx
And I walk across the plains
And I feel the soft grass caressing the soles of my feet
There's women in the distance, I wanna dance with them
They take me by the hand and we dance the farandole
Me, I come from Bethlehem
And you from the north, but whatever, 'cause we're brothers and sisters
We're one with the universe
Like the stars burning in my heart
Sphynx
Blaise and Alcazar
Are like brothers under the Sphynx's benevolent eye
With their lynx eyes
They dance under the stars
They sniff the flowers of the soul and savor their mave
Sphynx wake up
Carry me away and guide me on the path
It'll take us far away
A thousand and one light-years away
And we'll endure through time, we'll be Sphynx

SONG MEANING

La Femme’s “Sphynx” feels like a technicolor dream set to music. The lyrics invite us to slip into a psychedelic trance where we dance “sous acide,” float like a feather in the wind, and stride across plains that lead from mythical Babylon to biblical Bethlehem. In this surreal landscape borders disappear: strangers become “frères et soeurs,” humans merge with the universe, and the ancient Sphinx watches over it all. The song paints unity as a cosmic rave, suggesting that when we surrender to rhythm and imagination we can outlast time itself and feel as timeless as the Sphinx.

At its core, the track is a celebration of freedom, connection, and cosmic curiosity. Characters like Blaise and Alcazar whirl beneath the stars, sniffing “les fleurs de l’âme” and urging the Sphinx to guide them “à mille et une années lumière.” It is equal parts mystical pilgrimage and carefree dance floor anthem, reminding listeners that music can be a portal. Press play, let the bass line carry you, and you might just find yourself dancing among the stars with the guardian of eternity smiling down.
