Tout Va Bien Lyrics in English Orelsan

Tout Va Bien is a bittersweet lullaby in disguise. On the surface, the chorus repeats “Everything’s fine,” yet each verse paints a darker picture: a homeless man sleeping outside, a neighbor covered in bruises, whole cities blown apart by war. Orelsan slips into the role of an adult soothing a child, inventing cheerful explanations for tragic scenes—“He loves the sound of cars,” “She was playing with paint,” “They are making stars in the sky.” The more fantastical the excuses become, the clearer the irony: saying everything is fine cannot make it true.

Behind its gentle melody, the song spotlights a coping mechanism that many societies use—pretend the problems are not there. By flipping horror into fairy tale, Orelsan invites listeners to question the stories we tell ourselves to avoid facing poverty, violence, and conflict. The result is a clever mix of humor and heartbreak that nudges us to open our eyes, break the silence, and admit when things are not fine, so that real change can begin.
