Que Tout S'danse Lyrics in English Noé Preszow

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Tout S'danse by Noé Preszow from French to English.
I must keep quiet for a long, long time
Hang around up front, out back
To shiver, to feel
To have something to say
My friend, I've got nothing to offer you but this silence that'll make you flee
Or this overloaded word that no longer knows where to perch
The more you ask, the more you insist
The more I hide, the more I resist
And I can read in your eyes
That you remember why we barely meet
You'd forgotten, now it comes back
I'm an old man, I'm a kid
I drink water, I've got no scoop
And when we get too close, I cut
You say everything dances, even awkwardness
Even hate, even drifting
That everybody dances loneliness
The state of siege, the state of emergency
I must love for a long, long time
Dead and buried loves
See us still all the time everywhere
And make up dates for myself
I must not understand for a long time
Why nobody knew how to give in
And hold the other in their arms
To listen to what won't come out
And blow up the mirrors, blow my memory apart
I know, it doesn't look like it
I need to laugh, laugh at myself
I need anonymous letters accusing me of every crime
And at the dawn of my life, to've made lots of enemies
You say everything dances, even awkwardness
Even hate, even drifting
That everybody dances loneliness
The state of siege, the state of emergency
You say everything dances, even awkwardness
Even hate, even drifting
That everybody dances loneliness
The state of siege, the state of emergency
I need the fight for a long, long while
The stroll and the quarrel
I need to explore my era
And everything it sparks
Watch my contemporaries
Who sublimate their sorrows
Eye the mystery and the heroism
Of dancing under capitalism
You tell me everything dances, even shame
That climbs, that climbs, even absence
That everything dances, that everything dances
You say everything dances, even awkwardness
Even hate, even drifting
That everybody dances loneliness
The state of siege, the state of emergency
You say everything dances, even awkwardness
Even hate, even drifting
That everybody dances loneliness
The state of siege, the state of emergency

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Feel like words sometimes fall short? In "Que Tout S'danse," French‐speaking singer‐songwriter Noé Preszow invites us into the mind of a narrator who oscillates between silence and an avalanche of thoughts. He confesses to hiding, resisting, and replaying old loves, yet a friend keeps repeating one liberating idea: everything can be danced. Shame, hatred, wandering, even a state of emergency—each emotion that weighs us down can be shaken loose in movement.

Rather than offering neat solutions, the song paints a vivid picture of modern restlessness. The narrator watches his peers “dance under capitalism,” laughs at himself, and longs for genuine connection. Preszow’s message sparkles through the refrain: when speech fails, let the body speak. By turning every feeling into rhythm, we transform anxiety into art and loneliness into shared experience. In short, the track is an anthem to embracing our contradictions, pressing play, and letting life’s messiest moments move our feet.
