Elles Lyrics in English Patrick Fiori

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Elles by Patrick Fiori from French to English.

Those outdated clichés in two-bit refrains

Everywhere, do we have to add more rhymes

To those millions of poems

Between us

It's déjà vu, I know

Rehashed a thousand times

Alright

We're sick of those stories

Yet each of us got lost in them

But people pass, and time's futile

What's left for us

Indelible

They

First and last

Sisters, lovers, mothers

Faithful lights

They

In nights too dark

They

When everything wavers and collapses

They

At the end of the world

Men play at fear

With the worst, with power, with dying

At random, at hating or lying to each other, for pleasure

Men play

Men size each other up, dream

And drink and allow themselves

Ridiculous little soldiers

They challenge each other then slip away

Men play

Weapons and graves

And fields of horror

Amid the ashes and the pain

They

To feed and heal

Caress, smile

And lighten the shadow

They

And other skies to come

To give birth rather than destroy

And rebuild everything

Rebuild everything

And even

One of them is mine

Like unexpected, my providential one

She makes my life worth it

She

My her

SONG MEANING

Elles is Patrick Fiori’s heartfelt tribute to all the women who illuminate our lives. The lyrics set up a vivid contrast: while men often get lost in games of power, fear, and conflict, women quietly mend the damage, offer tenderness, and spark new beginnings. Fiori playfully admits that praising women in song may sound like an old cliché, yet he insists it is an essential truth that can never be repeated too much. Sisters, mothers, lovers – they are the indelible lights guiding us through the darkest nights.

By the final lines, the celebration becomes personal: one of these extraordinary women is his lifesaver, the reason everything is worthwhile. With poetic warmth, the song turns into an anthem of gratitude, urging listeners to recognize and cherish the nurturing strength that women bring to a fragile world.
