Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Acrobates by L.E.J. from French to English.

Intro

Sit down, I invite you

I've got a game that might please you

Let's push our limits

If you don't choose I'll serve you again

Sit down, I invite you

I've got a game that might please you

Let's push our limits

If you don't choose I'll re-

Tell me what you prefer

To be Trump's official look-alike, Hitler's sub-officer?

Tell me, and too bad if you're wrong

Yeah, tell me what you prefer

Eating dirt, falling from high up, or patiently waiting for war?

While they trample on our ideals

Life goes by fast

We wear ourselves out from fighting too much

Come on, let's defy the void, acrobats

Life goes by fast

We wear ourselves out from fighting too much

Come on, let's defy the void, acrobats

Life goes by fast

Tell me what you prefer

If you had to choose

Would you be a pervert's prey

Or forever in love only with yourself?

Yeah, tell me what you prefer

Flings with a cheater, routine with an ordinary girl

Without ever wanting her?

Tell me, even if it means calling everything into question

Drink to forget she's forgetting you?

In a glass of red, is life that rosy?

You weren't with her, so where were you Saturday?

Life goes by fast

We wear ourselves out from fighting too much

Come on, let's defy the void, acrobats

Life goes by fast

We wear ourselves out from fighting too much

Come on, let's defy the void, acrobats

Tell me, you who knows it all

What we read in the media

Is it because they're scared for us?

Or so we live in the here and now?

Yeah, tell me what you prefer

To be misunderstood or not deserve it?

That nobody listens to you or that they shut you up?

Tell me, action or truth?

Tell me what you prefer, hmm but tell me!

Yeah, tell me what you prefer, hmm but tell me!

Life goes by fast

We wear ourselves out from fighting too much

Come on, let's defy the void, acrobats

Life goes by fast

We wear ourselves out from fighting too much

Come on, let's defy the void, acrobats

Life goes by fast

Come on, let's defy the void, acrobats

Acrobats

SONG MEANING

**Fasten your seatbelt, because L.E.J’s “Acrobates” feels like an intense round of Would You Rather? set to music. One voice invites us to sit, play, and keep choosing between extreme, sometimes absurd dilemmas: be Trump’s look-alike or Hitler’s officer? eat dirt, fall from the sky, or wait for war? stay with a cheating lover or live a passionless routine? By piling up these uncomfortable choices, the trio shines a spotlight on how society, the media, and even our own relationships constantly push us to pick sides, label ourselves, and fight battles that drain our energy.

Yet the chorus flips the script: “La vie défile vite… viens, on défie l’vide, acrobates.” Life rushes by, so instead of wearing ourselves out, let’s become acrobats who dare to leap over the void. The song is a playful but urgent call to stop obsessing over false dilemmas and reclaim the thrill of taking risks, trusting ourselves, and dancing above the chaos before time runs out.
