De Là-haut Lyrics in English Pomme

Home / Lyrics Translation / Pomme / De Là-haut

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song De Là-haut by Pomme from French to English.

Now they're crying around a cross

Throwing flowers, talking about me

It's a beautiful summer day

Everyone got dressed up

Words come out that we never said

The wind carries them to me

Everything seems so clear, so clear, clear

Seen from up there

From up there, I see you so small

Way up there, my sorrow fades away

Way up there, unheard-of visions

Of the sun devouring the rain

I broke the bond that held me

The daily knot, I untied it

Everything seems so pointless, so pointless, pointless

Seen from up there

Dry your tears, sleep in peace

I'm leaving without drama and without regret

But it's easy, so easy, easy to say

Seen from up there

From up there, I see you so small

Way up there, my sorrow fades away

Way up there, unheard-of visions

Of the sun devouring the rain

From up there, I see you so small

Way up there, my sorrow fades away

Way up there, unheard-of visions

Of the sun devouring the rain

SONG MEANING

Floating above it all, Pomme’s gentle voice imagines the moment after life has slipped away. In De Là-haut (“From Up There”) she watches her own funeral from the sky: people in summer clothes gather around a cross, lay flowers, whisper words they never dared to say. From this serene height, everything that once felt heavy now looks crystal-clear and almost insignificant. The knot of daily worries is untied, her earthly pain dissolves, and she’s dazzled by “visions inouïes” like a sun that devours the rain.

The song turns grief into comfort. Pomme speaks directly to those below, asking them to dry their tears and sleep in peace, hinting that letting go is easier said than done. Instead of darkness, she paints the afterlife with light, warmth, and wonder, offering a hopeful reminder that perspective can transform sorrow into gentle acceptance. Listen closely and you’ll feel both the ache of goodbye and the quiet freedom of soaring de là-haut—from up above.
