Bougez Lyrics in English MIKA

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, go on, gotta move
For your health, move more
Move
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, go on, gotta move
For your health, go on, gotta move
For your health, go on, gotta move
For your health, move more
Move
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.
