La Foret Lyrics in English Lescop

Home / Lyrics Translation / Lescop / La Foret

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Foret by Lescop from French to English.

A gunshot in the night

An icy pain that shoots through

The forest suddenly shivers

Then silence settles

You stand there deafened

You pass the sentence

The second shot goes off

And soon makes the difference

In the forest I find you at the right time

An improvised date under the moon

Forced smiles

Complicated situation

I feel your breath grazing my neck

A loaded pistol strokes my cheek

You say 'this time I'm the one who plays'

In the forest the first blast echoes

One gunshot then two, my body shivers

Then slowly collapses

Nothing left, not a sound

Nobody saw a thing, luckily

For me it's over now

And you think everyone doesn't give a f*ck!

Now you're running away

Taking your leave

The forest shivers again

And I savor the silence

In the forest I find you at the right time

An improvised date under the moon

Forced smiles

Complicated situation

I feel your breath grazing my neck

A loaded pistol strokes my cheek

You say 'this time I'm the one who plays'

In the forest the first blast echoes

One gunshot then two, my body shivers

Then slowly collapses

SONG MEANING

Picture this: a moonlit forest, branches shivering in the night air, and two ex-lovers facing off in a tense game of cat-and-mouse. La Forêt tells a noir-style tale where romance collides with revenge. The narrator meets a former partner for a “rendez-vous improvisé” among the trees; nervous smiles mask deeper fears. A cold pistol presses against skin, shots echo through the darkness, and silence falls like frost. The lyrics unfold like a short thriller, exploring obsession, power shifts, and the thin line between passion and danger.

Beyond the chilling storyline, Lescop’s sleek, new-wave delivery turns the forest into a symbol of raw emotion: the rustling leaves mirror racing heartbeats, while the quiet after each gunshot captures that eerie calm when feelings finally explode. It is a song about the irreversible moment when love becomes lethal, leaving the listener suspended between seduction and shock.
