Avenir Lyrics in English Louane
Avenir means "future" in French. While it might seem like a common word, its usage in this song is particularly poignant and central to the theme of moving on after a breakup.
Louane sings, "Pendant ce temps j'vais écrire pour demain l'avenir" (Meanwhile, I'm going to write for tomorrow, the future). It encapsulates the protagonist's journey from heartbreak to hope, making it a powerful and inspiring word that resonates with anyone looking forward to a better tomorrow.
Imagine shouting “Waoh, waoh” at the top of your lungs while slamming the door on a bad breakup. That is exactly the energy French pop star Louane channels in “Avenir.” The title means “future,” and the song is a fiery mix of heartbreak and hope. At first she is raw and unapologetic: her ex walked out “without much reason,” so she wishes him sleepless nights and a little suffering. Yet beneath the sting, every “waoh” sounds like a rallying cry. She is announcing, I’m hurt, but I’m still here, and I’ve already started writing the next chapter of my life.
By the second verse, Louane trades bitterness for boldness. She wanders the streets alone, feels momentarily lost, then realizes she is free. The broken glasses, the failed promises, the “hypocrisy of one night” — they all become fuel for reinvention. Instead of clinging to the past, she grabs her pen and writes “pour demain l’avenir,” literally “for tomorrow, the future.” The song celebrates that electric moment when sadness flips into self-belief: the instant you stop replaying yesterday and start composing a brighter, louder, waoh-filled tomorrow.
