Un Million Lyrics in English Pomme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Million by Pomme from French to English.
Hide your game well
I could hurt you
Pull yourself together a bit
Crying is dirty
It gives you eyes
Bigger than the city
What can we do about it
It's not easy, no
How many times
I've held back my tears
How many times
To look normal
At least a thousand
At least a million
A pool
A lake, a season of tears
Since they told me
To save face
Every Wednesday
I practice in the mirror
So that my eyes
Never betray
My rainy heart
That wants to empty out
How many times
I've held back my tears
How many times
To look normal
At least a thousand
At least a million
A pool
A lake, a season of tears
At least a thousand
At least a million
A pool
A lake, a season of tears
We could swim in it
Cross the feelings
We could defy the currents
Talk to each other now and then
At least a thousand
At least a million
A pool
A lake, a season of tears
At least a thousand
At least a million
Don't be scared to hit bottom

SONG MEANING

**Pomme turns tears into an ocean in “Un Million”. Behind the gentle folk melody is a quiet rebellion against the rule that says “crying is shameful.” The French singer paints the picture of someone who has been told to keep a stiff upper lip, practicing a poker-face in the mirror every Wednesday, while secretly carrying “a million” swallowed tears. Each verse measures the weight of hidden sadness, then transforms it into vivid images: a swimming pool, a lake, an entire season of rain.

Yet the song is not only about sorrow; it is an invitation to dive in, to “swim in it, cross the feelings, and sometimes talk.” By the final lines, Pomme reassures us: don’t fear touching the bottom. Accepting our deepest emotions is how we stay afloat, and sharing them can turn isolation into connection. In short, “Un Million” is a shimmering reminder that vulnerability is not weakness—it is water, life, and the chance to meet each other somewhere beneath the surface.
