Au Début Lyrics in English by Renan Luce
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Au Début by Renan Luce from French to English.
Est-ce qu'on peut reprendre au début?
Can we start again from the beginning?
Re-boire le vin que l'on avait bu?
Drink again the wine we had drunk?
Moi j'aimerais que l'on se rendorme
I'd like us to fall back asleep
Dans un lit à mémoire de forme
In a memory foam bed
Et que l'on se réveille pareil
And that we wake up the same
Est-ce qu'on peut reprendre mine de rien?
Can we start again as if nothing happened?
Comme à la page cornée du bouquin
Like on the dog-eared page of the book
Qu'on avait refermée la veille
That we had closed the night before
En luttant contre le sommeil
While fighting against sleep
Est-ce que jusqu'au mot fin
Do we, until the word "end,"
On tient?
Hold on?
Je sais bien l'existence
I know existence
Suit le même unique sens
Follows the same unique direction
Que l'eau
As water
Mais referais-tu ce baiser
But would you do that kiss again
Offert autant que volé
Given as much as stolen
Tantôt
A while ago
Est-ce qu'on peut reprendre à la source?
Can we start again at the source?
Poser les pierres qui changent sa course?
Lay the stones that change its course?
Inonder un nouveau décor
Flood a new setting
Va savoir ce qui peut éclore
Who knows what can bloom
Des plantes au bord du fleuve
Plants at the river's edge
Toutes neuves
All new
Je sais l'incandescence
I know the incandescence
Des cœurs est par essence
Of hearts is by nature
Fragile
Fragile
Mais referais-tu ce baiser
But would you do that kiss again
Offert autant que volé
Given as much as stolen
Fébrile
Fretful
Est-ce qu'on peut reprendre au début?
Can we start again from the beginning?
Est-ce qu'on peut reprendre au début?
Can we start again from the beginning?

éclore — to hatch, to bloom, to emerge
Éclore is a beautiful verb that means 'to hatch', 'to bloom', or 'to emerge'. It evokes a sense of new beginnings and potential, often associated with nature, like a flower blooming or a chick hatching.
In the song, Renan Luce uses it metaphorically when he sings, "Va savoir ce qui peut éclore / Des plantes au bord du fleuve / Toutes neuves" (Who knows what might emerge / From the plants by the river / All new). He's pondering what new possibilities or developments could arise if he could restart a relationship, making it a hopeful and intriguing word choice.
