Mieux Que Nous Lyrics in English M. Pokora , Soprano

“Mieux Que Nous” paints the bittersweet portrait of a family split in two yet united by a single wish: that the next generation will rise above their parents’ heartbreak. M. Pokora and Soprano give voice to a child watching Mom waltz alone and Dad tango on his own, each parent nursing a ‘heart in prison’ after love’s collapse. Between alternating verses, the youngster becomes the weekend-chorister, shuffling between houses, piecing together family photos like a midnight puzzle, and begging the world for a little help.

Despite the melancholy, the song pulses with optimism. Every refrain reminds the child – and every listener – that “little by little” we build our own nests, learn from past mistakes, and can “do better than them, better than us.” It is a catchy pop plea for empathy, dignity, and second chances, wrapped in graceful strings, hip-hop beats, and a chorus that sticks in your head long after the last note fades.
