Alexandrie, Alexandra Lyrics in English M. Pokora

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alexandrie, Alexandra by M. Pokora from French to English.
Sails on the girls
Boats on the Nile
I'm in your life
I'm in your arms
Alexandra Alexandria
Alexandria where love dances with the night
I've got more appetite
Than a barracuda
I'll drink the whole Nile if you don't hold me back
I'll drink the whole Nile if you don't hold me back
Alexandria
Alexandra
Alexandria where love dances deep in the sheets
Tonight I've got a fever and you're freezing cold
The sirens of Alexandria's harbor
Still sing the same melody
The light from Alexandria's lighthouse
Shipwrecks the butterflies of my youth
Sails on the girls
And boats on the Nile
I'm in your life
I'm in your sheets
Alexandra
Alexandria
Alexandria where everything begins and everything ends
I've got more appetite
Than a barracuda
I'll eat you raw if you don't hold me back
I'll eat you raw if you don't hold me back
The sirens of Alexandria's harbor
Still sing the same melody
The light from Alexandria's lighthouse
Shipwrecks the butterflies of my youth
Alexandria Alexandra
Tonight I dance, I dance, I dance in your sheets

SONG MEANING

Welcome to shimmering Alexandria, where the sails on the Nile catch the moonlight and love whirls like a late-night dance. In this cover by French pop star M. Pokora, the singer throws himself into a head-spinning romance with the mysterious Alexandra. He is feverish with desire, boasting that he’s hungrier than a barracuda and willing to drink the whole Nile if she does not hold him back. The exotic setting, the echo of sirens in the harbor, and the lighthouse that wrecks the “butterflies” of his youth all paint a picture of irresistible attraction that feels as vast and deep as the river itself.

Beneath the festive disco groove lies a tug-of-war between burning passion and looming danger. Alexandria becomes a poetic playground where everything starts and everything ends: pleasure flares under rumpled sheets, yet the same alluring lights can shipwreck dreams. Pokora’s energetic delivery turns this classic French hit into an invitation to let go, dance until dawn, and taste love’s sweet risk—because in Alexandria, the night is young, the water is endless, and desire always has the last word.
