En Cavale Lyrics in English Pomme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En Cavale by Pomme from French to English.
Tired like after a long trip
A crossing through the hell of a cage
A rancid smell, a feeling of asphyxiation
I'm coming out of a trance, my anger's over
And so are we
We've got nothing left to say
Not the slightest moment left to give each other
I can't even read your face anymore
I don't get your words anymore
We've turned the page
We've put our fangs away
But don't blame me if I still think about you
It's just that I'm quietly tasting that life again
I've been around and our love's on the run
It stole a year from both of us
Let it go, we're not gonna scream scandal
We'll maybe find it again when we're old
We let ourselves sink without drama
What's the point hurting ourselves if we've lost the desire
I couldn't feel your heart beating in the dark
Indifference settles in, everything's over
And so are we
We've got nothing left to say
Not the slightest moment left to suffer
I can't even read your face anymore
I don't get your words anymore
We've turned the page
We've put our fangs away
But don't blame me if I still think about you
It's just that I'm quietly tasting that life again
I've been around and our love's on the run
It stole a year from both of us
Let it go, we're not gonna scream scandal
We'll maybe find it again when we're old
I've been around and our love's on the run
It stole a year from both of us
Let it go, we're not gonna scream scandal
We'll maybe find it again when we're old

SONG MEANING

From the very first lines, French indie-folk artist Pomme sets a cinematic scene: two exhausted lovers stumble out of a metaphorical cage, breathing rancid air and realizing their anger has burned out. En Cavale captures that surreal instant when a romance finishes not with fireworks but with silence; there is nothing left to say, faces are unreadable, and the pair quietly accepts that they have turned the page.

Love itself becomes a runaway thief that 'stole a year from both of us'. Rather than chasing it, the singer opts for calm surrender, trusting that if the feeling is meant to return it will find them later in life. The result is a bittersweet lullaby about letting go, healing, and giving yourself permission to breathe again, all wrapped in Pomme’s airy vocals and feather-light guitar.
