En Attendant La Fin Lyrics in English M. Pokora

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En Attendant La Fin by M. Pokora from French to English.
We turn back to God
When things go wrong
When the sky collapses
Onto our little stars
We feel so alone
When the train derails
Rain in my eyes
When hope bolts
When I see Mom
Losing her grip
We leave it to God
On her hospital bed
I lose balance on my sad carousel
Under the summer sun
I watch the snow fall
Nobody laughs at God anymore
When shovels besiege us
There are days like that when nothing works
Locked in your misery
When the angels cry
By your window
There are days like that when nothing works
Beating ourselves up
If hope dies
Can it be reborn
Watch me burn
When the light goes out
Hear me scream
At hell's gates
Watch me fall
With no one left behind me
Turning back to dust
We leave it to God
When the wheel has spun
Friends forget you
Like a summer song
Love too
Falls asleep on its regrets
We turn back to God
When we climb down the ladder
Money's fine
But it's not eternal
We won't last long
If we fly with only one wing
There are days like that when nothing works
Locked in your misery
When the angels cry
By your window
There are days like that when nothing works
Beating ourselves up
If hope dies
Can it be reborn
Watch me burn
When the light goes out
Hear me scream
At hell's gates
Watch me fall
With no one left behind me
Turning back to dust
It's light or darkness
Love or glory
Defeat or victory
You either win or screw up
We just wanna escape
Run from our nightmares
I don't wanna miss my life
Miss my train
Touch infinity
Like I'm dying tomorrow
I don't want you to forget me
When you're hurting
Waiting for the end

SONG MEANING

En Attendant La Fin (“While Waiting for the End”) pulls you onto an emotional roller-coaster where faith, fear and hope collide. M. Pokora paints the picture of those rough days when the “train derails,” friends vanish, and even summer sunshine feels like falling snow. In these crises we instinctively look up to something bigger than ourselves—God, fate, the universe—searching for a lifeline while our inner angels weep at the window.

Yet beneath the storm clouds the song is a rallying cry: live now, love hard, chase the infinite. Pokora admits he does not want to “miss his train,” so he urges us to break free from nightmares, grab every chance, and keep hope alive even when it seems to have died. Life, he reminds us, is a coin flip between “light or dark, love or glory, defeat or victory,” but the real failure is not trying. Until the final curtain falls, the chorus encourages us to burn bright, scream our truth, and leave a mark that no one can forget.
