Héros Lyrics in English Patrick Bruel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Héros by Patrick Bruel from French to English.
I want to offer these few rhymes
To all those anonymous men
All those heroes without a surname
All those who'll never have an anthem
What history saw pass by
That memory has erased
Who didn't think it necessary
To turn it into a whole anniversary
To all those who damn themselves
To all those who give themselves
Tribute to women, tribute to souls
Tribute to men
To all those who fought
Who won without knowing it
I want to offer these few phrases
To those who pass and then fade
To the inventors of lovely words
Dead from singing them too much
To those who race to the rescue
Who in the nights bring the day
To those who go out in the flames
Without flag or banner
To all those who damn themselves
To all those who give themselves
Tribute to women, tribute to souls
Tribute to men
All those makers of humanity
Wiped away by humility
Wiped away by humility
I want to offer these few rhymes
To all those anonymous men
To all those everyday heroes
For a smile or for nothing
To all those people who leave us
So much hope, in simple gestures
And finally, also to you
You who do so much and nobody sees
To all those who damn themselves
To all those who give themselves
Tribute to women, tribute to souls
Tribute to men
To all those who fought
Who won without knowing it
To all those who fought
Who won without knowing it

SONG MEANING

Ever wondered what a superhero looks like without a cape or a spotlight? Héros invites us to notice those everyday champions who slip through history books yet change lives with quiet courage. Patrick Bruel turns his lyrics into a magnifying glass, zooming in on nurses sprinting through hospital corridors, firefighters braving flames, poets who die for their words, and countless helpers who gift us hope with nothing more than a smile.

Across the song, Bruel strings together heartfelt "merci" moments, reminding us that true heroism often hides in humility. By saluting the unnamed, he encourages listeners to celebrate small acts of kindness, recognize the power of self-sacrifice, and maybe even see a bit of hero in themselves. It is a melodic tribute to the invisible pillars of humanity, wrapped in warm French pop.
