Below, I translated the lyrics of the song C'est Bientôt La Fin by Mozart, l'opéra rock from French to English.

Tonight's the big ball

Put some powder on your pale ideas

We're gonna make the stars sway

Much higher

Much higher, again

Tonight's the big day

Let's watch the drums fall

The court soldiers' brass band

Rings off-key

Again, again, again, again, again

C'mon, come

It's almost the end

Of this world

That hears nothing

C'mon, come

Ring the alarm bell

Spin their old speeches

Come dance, it's our turn

Tonight's the big night

Our dreams dress themselves in velvet

We rush in for a new start

Way more beautiful

Again, again, again, again, again

C'mon, come

It's almost the end

Of this world

That hears nothing

C'mon, come

Ring the alarm bell

Spin their old speeches

Come dance, it's our turn

I've drunk love

In its bitter breath

I've seen the towers

Fall to the ground

I've seen black gold

Bleed the sea

Every gaze

Toward the fleeting

I see blooming

The new day

I believe the laugh

Of the madman up there

I wanna grasp

Every mystery

And break free

From the fleeting

Tonight's the big ball

Put some powder on your pale ideas

We're gonna make the stars sway

Much higher

C'mon, come

It's almost the end

Of this world

That hears nothing

C'mon, come

Ring the alarm bell

Spin their old speeches

Come dance, it's our turn

C'mon, come

It's almost the end

Of this world

That hears nothing

C'mon, come

Ring the alarm bell

Let's love on their ruins

Let's love for a new world

SONG MEANING

Put on your brightest mask and step onto the dance floor! “C’est Bientôt La Fin” imagines a lavish last party thrown on the eve of a collapsing world. False fanfares blare out of tune, towers tumble, oil bleeds into the sea, yet the singer keeps urging us to dance higher, louder, bolder. By painting color on our “pale ideas” and ringing the tocsin (the alarm bell), we mock the tired speeches of the old order and shake the very stars above us.

Amid the chaos, the song glows with rebellious hope. Loving on the ruins, we can spin away from everything “éphémère” (short-lived) and welcome a jour nouveau—a brand-new day where laughter, mystery, and freedom bloom. In short, it’s a rousing call to party at the apocalypse, topple outdated rules, and build a brighter world through rhythm, revolt, and love.
