Sur La Planche Lyrics in English La Femme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sur La Planche by La Femme from French to English.
On the beach
In the sand
I'm looking for
sensations
On the board
On the wave
I feel
sensations
On the beach
In the sand
I'm looking for
sensations
On the board
On the wave
I feel
sensations
On the beach
In the sand
I'm looking for
sensations
On the board
On the wave
I feel
sensations
On the beach
sensations
On the board
sensations
On the board
On the wave
I'm looking for
sensations
On the beach
In the sand
I'm looking for
sensations
On a board
In the breakers
I'm looking for
sensations
In the sand
On the beach
I'm looking for
sensations
And when I'm on the wave
I'm alone in the breakers
When I'm on the wave
I'm alone in the breakers
On a board
In the breakers
I'm looking for
sensations
In the sand
On the beach
I'm looking for
sensations
And when I'm on the wave
I'm alone in the breakers
When I'm on the wave
I'm alone in the breakers
Beware whoever wants to stop me
From staying on the wave when I'm invincible
And if you dare push me into the breakers
I'm waiting for you on the wave, or on the beach in the sand
Too bad if I die tomorrow
If the breakers drag me into the guts of the wave
I grab my board and head to work
When I'm alone, I'm looking for sensations

SONG MEANING

Catch a wave and feel alive! In Sur La Planche, La Femme paints a sun-drenched postcard of surfing on the Atlantic coast. The singer keeps bouncing between two settings—sur la plage (on the beach) and sur la vague (on the wave)—as if her heartbeat syncs with the tide. She is constantly “recherchant des sensations” (chasing sensations), turning the ocean into her personal thrill-park where foam, sand and saltwater become addictive fuel for freedom.

Listen closer and the song reveals more than a simple surf anthem. The hypnotic repetition mirrors the rolling swell, while the lyrics celebrate fierce independence: she feels invincible on her board, warns off anyone who tries to knock her down and even accepts the risk of being swallowed by the sea. It is a bold manifesto for anyone who seeks intensity—whether on a surfboard, a dance floor or in everyday life. So press play, picture the endless horizon and let La Femme remind you that true exhilaration lies just beyond the next wave.
