Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L’intime & Le Monde by Noé Preszow from French to English.

A song that'd say

The start and the end

Unheard-of sorrow

And eternal joys

The unfinished past

The uncertain future

Here, a gunshot

There, a wingbeat

All the setbacks

All the advances

And hands brushing

On the back seat

First loves

And last kisses

The start of the journey

And the end of a war

A song that'd say

The entrance and the exit

The indelible rage

And the slumbering peace

The minute too long

When suddenly everything tilts

And endless hours

Staring at the sun

The screens we smash

And those we crave

Alone at the screening

On New Year's Eve

The distress in a laugh

The power of a drama

In one word, the magic

Of still being alive

The deep riddle

The private and the world

The deep riddle

A song that'd say

The night that sways

And the day that dawns

Head in hands

Shop windows in pieces

And the wind in the branches

Yesterday's revolts

And tomorrow's

Feverish adolescence

Blackening every page

To escape the cages

She already senses

Old age pleading

For someone around

Passersby to tell it

What time it is now

A song that'd say

The Mediterranean

Dreams taking on water

And summer coming back

The same fights

Since forever

History's axe

That shatters fates

Arrogance from above

And anger from below

Stars burning

Above the chaos

Motionless ships

Under Odessa's sky

And Tehran standing

Singing Bella ciao

The deep riddle

The private and the world

The deep riddle

A song that'd say

Hands letting go

The heart beating no more

Like on the first mornings

The falls that insist

The victories we snatch

The voices we forget

And the words we keep

The urge to be alone

In an invented city

Then to be with your own

Because everything spins out

A game of chess

In the bar next door

The violence of borders

The beauty of countries

The courage to do

And to undo

Having gone so far

And starting over

A sister's hope

A brother's hope

Feeling everything collapse

And still singing

That euphoric crowd

For a soccer match

The playground

At eight in the morning

The song of certainties

The racket of doubt

The endless road

And your eyes in mine

The deep riddle

The private and the world

The deep riddle

The private and the world

A song that'd say

The start and the end

Unheard-of sorrow

And eternal joys

The unfinished past

The uncertain future

Here, a gunshot

There, a wingbeat

All the setbacks

All the advances

And hands brushing

On the back seat

First loves

And last kisses

The start of the journey

And the end of a war

“L’intime & Le Monde” feels like Noé Preszow opened a giant photo-album of humanity and flipped through it at lightning speed. In just a few minutes he name-checks first kisses, last goodbyes, lonely movie nights, shattered screens, chess games in cafés, football crowds and historic uprisings from Odessa to Tehran. Every line is a snapshot of life’s wild contrasts: blazing joy beside crushing grief, private whispers beside roaring revolutions, the fragile beat of a single heart beside the chaos of an entire planet. The song’s core message is simple yet profound: being alive means juggling the infinitely small and the overwhelmingly big at the very same time.

By piling image upon image, the French-Belgian singer invites us to taste the full spectrum of existence—love, war, hope, despair, boredom, ecstasy—and recognise that all of it belongs in one song and in one life. He calls this mysterious blend “l’énigme profonde,” the deep riddle that links our most secret feelings to the pulse of the world. The result is an exhilarating anthem that celebrates the messy, magical privilege of still breathing, still dreaming and, above all, still singing.
