Je Sais Pas Danser Lyrics in English Pomme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Sais Pas Danser by Pomme from French to English.
When the lights burn everything
And the proud night doesn't give a d*mn
If you wanted to see me
I prefer the dark
I don't wanna go out
I don't wanna uncover myself
Flaws, flaws
Flaws, flaws
I see my body everywhere
Mostly I compare it
And you won't believe me
I had the same nightmare
I don't wanna go out
I don't wanna uncover myself
Flaws, flaws
Flaws, flaws
And I can't dance
I can't forget myself
And I can't dance
I can't forget myself
Outro
I don't wanna go out

SONG MEANING

Je Sais Pas Danser paints a vivid picture of someone who would rather melt into the shadows than face the glitter of a party. Pomme contrasts blinding lights with a comforting darkness, showing us a narrator who feels exposed the moment she steps outside. Lines about comparing her body and reliving the same nightmare reveal a deep insecurity that makes dancing – a carefree act for many – feel impossible. Each repetition of « des failles » (cracks) is like a flashlight on the little flaws she desperately wants to keep hidden.

Instead of a typical dance-floor anthem, the song flips the script: the chorus “je sais pas danser, je sais pas m’oublier” is an honest admission that sometimes we just cannot let go. By turning vulnerability into melody, Pomme invites listeners to recognize their own moments of self-doubt and to find solace in the idea that opting out can be just as powerful as joining in.
