Bougez Lyrics in English MIKA

Home / Lyrics Translation / MIKA / Bougez

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bougez by MIKA from French to English.

My beloved ones, we're here

To share what binds us

On TV, on the radio

You hear the same words

For your health, go on, gotta move

My beloved ones

For your health, go on, gotta move

My beloved ones

For your health, go on, gotta move

For your health, move more

Move

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your bodies move

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your hearts move

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your bodies move

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your hearts move

They still want us to move

Even almost dead, that we move

They'd wished we'd moved

So my beloved ones, we'll move

For your health, go on, gotta move

For your health, move more

Move

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your bodies move

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your hearts move

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your bodies move

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your hearts move

Move, move, move, move, move, move again

Move, move, move, move, move, move your bodies

Move, move, move, move, move, move again

Move, move, move, move, move, move your bodies

One day, I ended up at heaven's gates

I saw God let me in and here's what he told me

"You're not here to rest, you've done that your whole life

Now that you're so light, you won't stay sitting"

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your bodies move

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your hearts move

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your bodies move

Health, move, feel it move, feel it move, feel your hearts move

Move, move, move, move, move, move again

Move, move, move, move, move, move your bodies

Move, move, move, move, move, move again

Move, move, move, move, move, move your bodies

SONG MEANING

Get up, shake it, live a little! In “Bougez,” MIKA turns a simple public-health slogan—“For your health, you must move”—into a playful dance-floor rallying cry. The lyrics echo the familiar messages we hear on TV and radio, but crank them up until they sound almost hypnotic. By repeating bougez (“move”) like a mantra, MIKA celebrates the joy of motion while gently poking fun at society’s nonstop pressure to stay active.

The song’s cheeky humor peaks when the singer imagines arriving at heaven’s gate only to have God himself order him to keep moving. It is as if the demand to stay in motion follows us even beyond the grave. This tongue-in-cheek twist reminds listeners that life is short, so we might as well dance, laugh, and keep our hearts—and bodies—pumping. “Bougez” is both a satirical wink at health campaigns and an irresistible invitation to get off the couch and join the party.
