Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Air De Famille by Patrick Fiori from French to English.

That you’d come back, I don’t expect it anymore

Beautiful, despite her big black eyes

Thanks

Yes, I still can

Boat leaves the port

I don’t know anymore

My dreams have flown away

Yes, thanks

Let it snow on my life

It’s freezing in my heart

That’s not possible

Indeed, now he scares me

We starting? Yeah

The boxer

So, you guys okay?

Yeah, we’re fine

Shall we go?

So what proves you’re a good Patrick?

I don’t know, he’ll have to tell me

Very well

La la la la

La-la, la-la

Finally, you’re leaving

At 15 or at 30, that’s how it is

You think you’re leaving first

But there, in your bags, they’re with you

At every trouble, you’ll see

For a yes, for a no, you’ll call back

At the slightest turmoil, we all drew it by chance, the leaving game

And no matter where you’ll go

Da-bada-bada

You take them with you

Hum ho

In the family there’s

Dad and Mom, kids in the back, yesterday’s pals

All the sisters and brothers, the cat, the boxer, grandpa and grandma

All our loved ones

In the family there’s

Always someone missing, a secret, a lover, a war, a volcano

Love’s so powerful, way more than blood

It’s those we choose who keep us alive

And if sometimes you lose your way

If tonight you’ve got no brothers, nor a port

Or if you’re cold

Are you okay with coming with me

We all need to know

Da-bada-bada

That we’re at home somewhere

Hum ho

Hello, what are you here for exactly?

Well, for the casting

As a Patrick Fiori look-alike

Yes

Look

I’ve even got his piercing

No, but that was before

good?

yeah

Well, good luck then

Sir

Hum ho

In the family there’s

The mom and the dad, or two dads, or two moms, or 36 stepmoms

All the sisters and brothers, a boxer cousin, grandpa and grandma

All our loved ones

In the family there’s

Always someone missing, a secret, a lover, a war, a volcano

Love’s so powerful, way more than blood

It’s those we choose who keep us alive

In my family there’s

A land and the sea, a table and some glasses, friends and landmarks

Songs, hard times, come here so we can hug you with arms wide open

In the family there’s

Always a moment, a leaving, a child or it’s God who comes down

Love’s so powerful, way more than time

It’s those we choose who keep us alive

Dab-dada

In the family

There’s you and me

You’ll be at home

Tell me, don’t you think we look alike

What a mess

SONG MEANING

Patrick Fiori’s “Un Air De Famille” paints a lively, cinematic picture of what the word family can mean. The lyrics juggle humor (a mock casting for Fiori look-alikes), tenderness, and a touch of melancholy as they follow someone who thinks they are finally leaving the nest. Very quickly, the traveler realizes that every suitcase is stuffed with memories of parents, siblings, pets, friends, even the family secrets and dramas that haunt every clan. Wherever you roam – whether you are 15 or 30 – those voices stay close, whispering comfort or chaos, and reminding you that love can be stronger than blood, time, or distance.

The song widens the definition of family to welcome all kinds of households: two dads, two moms, endless step-parents, a boxer dog, grandparents, and the friends we choose when biology is not enough. Fiori suggests that belonging is portable; if you feel lost, cold, or far from home, someone can still open their arms and say, “Come join our table.” In short, “Un Air De Famille” is a joyful reminder that our roots travel with us, our chosen tribe keeps us alive, and—through a playful chorus that name-checks everyone—you and I just might share a family resemblance after all.
