Le Monde Lyrics in English M. Pokora

Le Monde drops us into the playful tug-of-war of modern dating. Through a back-and-forth of he said / she said confessions—compliments, warnings, half-truths—we watch two people flirt while keeping their shields up. Each tries to read the other, yet both hide behind little games: never the first kiss, never the first to fall in love. The rule is simple: the first one who loves, loses.

When the beat hits the chorus, the mask cracks. M. Pokora questions whether relationships have turned into staged photo ops where smiles are posed, bodies move like machines, and words feel scripted. He finally rebels, repeating “Je ne veux plus que le monde tourne autour de toi,” a cry to stop orbiting someone who treats love like a contest. In the end, though, he admits “J’ai perdu” — showing that despite all the games, vulnerability still wins. The song captures the thrill and exhaustion of 21st-century romance, asking listeners to choose authenticity over pretence.
