Les Étoiles Lyrics in English Louane

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Étoiles by Louane from French to English.

I don't feel like staying

Don't feel like trying

Don't feel like watching

My life goes up in smoke

When I see in your eyes

That really, you don't care

About what's in my heart

About what's left of us

How could I not want to leave

When you don't try to hold back

The shards of what we lived

And our first smiles

Tell me why

I don't feel like forgiving

I don't want to look at you anymore

And if I can't erase you

At least I want to move on

I'll forget much later

That you didn't feel like it

That you didn't have time

That you just didn't care

Your little scratches

Your big gashes

What stays inside

What I have in my heart

I don't know why

That the stars

Contemplate my tears

And that they decide

What's good or bad

That the stars

Contemplate my tears

That time wavers

And carries away the bad

And as time

Moves on

I look ahead

I move forward

I don't feel like staying

Don't feel like trying

Don't feel like watching

My life goes up in smoke

That the stars

Contemplate my tears

And that they decide

What's good or bad

That the stars

Contemplate my tears

That time wavers

And carries away the bad

And as time

Moves on

I look ahead

I move forward

I don't feel like staying

Don't feel like trying

Don't feel like watching

My life goes up in smoke

And as time

Moves on

I look ahead

I move forward

I don't feel like staying

Don't feel like trying

Don't feel like watching

My life goes up in smoke

That the stars

Contemplate my tears

And that they decide

What's good or bad

That the stars

Contemplate my tears

That time wavers

And carries away the bad

SONG MEANING

Louane lifts her eyes to the sky and tells the stars all about her broken heart. In Les Étoiles ("The Stars"), the French singer paints the picture of a relationship collapsing in slow motion: she has “no desire to stay, no desire to try,” because her partner is totally indifferent to her feelings. Each line feels like smoke rising from the ashes of what they shared, and Louane wants that smoke – and the pain – to drift away into the night sky.

Yet, instead of staying stuck in sorrow, she turns to the cosmos for a fresh start. The stars become silent therapists: they “contemplate my tears” and help her sort out right from wrong while time gently carries the hurt away. The chorus repeats like a mantra of resilience, reminding us that, although her “life is going up in smoke,” she keeps looking forward and moving on. Les Étoiles is both a confession of heartbreak and a promise of self-recovery, inviting listeners to trust that the universe can turn today’s scars into tomorrow’s strength.
