Tornade Lyrics in English Louane

Home / Lyrics Translation / Louane / Tornade

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

Kid, don't get locked up, you've always known how to dream

Kid, I promise you, it's not your fault

The world you imagined won't save you

Kid, I promise you, you'll see more

You dream of leaving, being able to choose, forgetting your pain

Voiceless, you'll fall a hundred times, think it's over a hundred times

You'll get back up anyway

And when you no longer know who you are

The winds drag you the wrong way

Above all, don't forget to give up the ghost, tornado

And when you need to scream

When you can't see what could change anymore

Above all, don't forget to give up the ghost, tornado

And when you no longer know who you are

The winds drag you the wrong way

Above all, don't forget to give up the ghost, tornado

And when you need to scream

When you can't see what could change anymore

Above all, don't forget to give up the ghost, tornado

You've grown and your dreams too, innocence running away

You've grown, you don't feel like the others

You start going out at night, doing what you're forbidden

There are steps you mustn't skip

You dream of leaving, being able to choose, forgetting your pain

Voiceless, you'll fall a hundred times, think it's over a hundred times

You'll get back up anyway

And when you no longer know who you are

The winds drag you the wrong way

Above all, don't forget to give up the ghost, tornado

And when you need to scream

When you can't see what could change anymore

Above all, don't forget to give up the ghost, tornado

And when you no longer know who you are

The winds drag you the wrong way

Above all, don't forget to give up the ghost, tornado

And when you need to scream

When you can't see what could change anymore

Above all, don't forget to give up the ghost, tornado

SONG MEANING

Feel the swirl of emotions in Tornade and meet the little girl at its center. Louane speaks directly to her younger self (or to anyone who still feels small inside), urging her not to let the world box in her dreams. She acknowledges how unfair reality can be, yet promises that every fall and every silent moment is only part of the journey. The repeated line “N’oublie pas d’rendre l’âme, tornade” is not about giving up; it is an invitation to release everything building up inside, to let the storm roar and clear the sky.

More than a song, Tornade is a roadmap for resilience. It reminds us that growing up means losing innocence, making forbidden choices, and sometimes getting blown off course. Still, like a true tornado, we carry immense energy within. Louane’s message is simple: stumble a hundred times, then stand up a hundred and one; scream if you need to, and transform the chaotic winds of doubt into a force that propels you forward. In the eye of your own storm, you will rediscover who you are.
