La Frousse Lyrics in English Louise Attaque

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Frousse by Louise Attaque from French to English.

You wanna walk

There'll always be much farther

You wanna talk

You wanna scream, nobody'll get a thing

You wanna search

You won't find a thing

You'd like to fly away

Avoid the paths

Give to others

There'll be no words

I'm scared

Of the slightest little delay

Of saying hello, goodbye

Scared to kiss you tonight

Of no longer jumping in puddles

Hope

Of losing the thread, cut loose

Of living next to life, all wrecked

Scared to do

The slightest step

Without loving, stopping, disappearing

Scared of the tiniest little word

The one that always comes too late

Or too early

I think we feel

All the tremors

Actually I think

That we're always scared

You wanna sail

There'll always be much farther

You wanna scream or whisper

Nobody'll get anything

You wanna find

You won't search

I'm scared

To see what must be seen

How many days

When evening comes

Scared to wake up in the dark

Of no longer dreaming of being

World champion of victories

Scared of the tiniest little move

Of being blocked

Replaced, vanished

Scared of the slightest encounter

Of being the one who's for

Who's against

The fear

Of the slightest drop of water

That comes from the sea, from the sky

Yes, from above

I think we all feel

The tremors

Actually I think we've always

The fear

I look at the earth

I look down

I see all our borders

I don't get them

I look up

I look at the roofs

And I imagine myself

Just right next to you

I'm scared of melting

Into the fog

Of the slightest detour, of others

Of chance

Scared of losing my memory

Of no longer running in the rain

In the park

Scared of the tiniest little word

The one that always comes too late

Or too early

I think we all feel

The tremors

Actually I think we've always

The fear

SONG MEANING

La Frousse is Louise Attaque’s playful confession of everyday anxieties. The singer rattles off a kaleidoscope of worries—being a second late, saying the wrong word, giving a kiss, losing memories, or simply stepping outside when it rains. Each line chases a desire to move farther, speak louder, or search deeper, only to bump into that jittery feeling we all know as la frousse (the heebie-jeebies). By piling up tiny fears beside big existential ones, the lyrics paint a vivid portrait of how doubt can shadow even our most ordinary moments.

Yet the song is far from gloomy. Its upbeat violin-driven groove turns the litany of “what-ifs” into a shared laugh at our own nervousness. Louise Attaque reminds us that everyone feels the same tremors, and simply admitting it can be liberating. In the end, “La Frousse” invites listeners to keep dreaming, splash through the puddles anyway, and find courage in togetherness—because fear might always be there, but so is the chance to live boldly in spite of it.
