On Danse Lyrics in English M. Pokora

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song On Danse by M. Pokora from French to English.
For all we couldn't do
For all those steps backwards
And all those unfinished roads
And those we'll never take again
All those trials, and those cursed days
That make us think we've only got one life
We dance, we dance
Every day that dawns is a lucky day
We dance, we dance
We dance like it's our last chance
Our words we might've regretted
To those we couldn't love
To all those times we went off the rails
To the marks that follow us wherever we go
Down to the trials, the cursed days
That make us think we've only got one life
We dance, we dance
Every day that dawns is a lucky day
We dance
We dance
We dance like it's our last chance
We dance till we can't anymore
With songs mixed with cries of hope
Like it's the last night
The start of another story
No more looking back
Forget everything we've suffered
Sweep it all away with the back of a hand
Change what we couldn't do
So we dance, we dance
Every day that dawns is a lucky day
We dance, we dance
We dance like it's our last chance
We dance
Every day that dawns is a lucky day
We dance I wanna see myself dance we dance
Yes once more see myself dance
Don't let this chance pass
I wanna see myself dance
Yes once more see myself dance
Don't let this chance pass
I wanna see us dance
Yes once more see us dance
Let's not, let's not
Let this last chance go by
I wanna see us dance
Yes once more see us dance
Let's not, let's not
Let this last chance go by

SONG MEANING

Feel the beat of carpe diem! In "On Danse", French pop star M. Pokora turns the dance floor into a playground for second chances. The lyrics list every stumble, regret, and unfinished road we drag behind us, then sweep it all away with one irresistible command: on danse (we dance). Each new sunrise is painted as a fresh roll of the dice, a gift that begs us to move, shout, and celebrate as if tonight were the grand finale.

Beneath the catchy hook lies an anthem of resilience. The song urges us to stop replaying yesterday’s mistakes, shake off the weight of “days cursed” and words unsaid, and transform that energy into joy. By dancing like it’s our “last chance,” we reclaim power over the past, choose hope, and write the first chapter of a brighter story. Press play, step onto life’s dance floor, and don’t let the moment slip away!
