Many lives, one grave

Immortal, one second

If only for a second, yes

Tonight, I will go on stage to re-enjoy the taste of fire

When two or three thousand bodies rise

Let them become my only orchestra

I will come out of here immortal

Then I'll go see you dancing on the rooftops of the city

In slow motion, every movement

You will swirl in your blood red dress

And all night you will dance for me

As if at daybreak I could leave for good

Immortal, one second

Let the beauty touch the monster's hand

Stay with me, there's nothing left that matters

Let it happen, so soon it's the end of the world

Many lives, one grave

Immortal, one second

Foreigners, here we have been since birth

Little, at night I looked at space in silence

I dreamed of him coming to take me away

One night, baby, one dance

Make me immortal, if only for a second

Prisoners, we have been here since birth

Tonight we're going to live so hard that we're going to bend time

Baby when you dance see the red and black clouds

Which in the sky are formed

See how the rain, the wind lick your body

And never look down

Don't look down and when you dance, close your eyes

We know that they come to extinguish our souls

What's the point of seeing the flames rise?

They'll be on this roof any minute

It will soon be the end but my love, never stop dancing

If we have a few seconds left

As much as each of them are fucking legends

Forget your fear and time

And on the floors below us all these people are screaming

Even if it's just a second

At least I could have seen what it was like to be alive, hmm

Many lives, one grave

Immortal, one second

Foreigners, here we have been since birth

As a child, at night, I looked at space in silence

I dreamed of him coming to take me away

One night, one dance

Make me immortal, if only for a second

Prisoners, we have been here since birth

Tonight we're going to live so hard that we're going to bend time

Then become mortal again

There's nothing left that matters

To be immortal, even if only for a second

Baby, it's almost the end of the world anyway

There's nothing left that matters

Nothing matters anymore

To be immortal, even if only for a second

Baby, it's almost the end of the world anyway

tourbillonneras — you will twirl/swirl

Tourbillonneras comes from the verb tourbillonner, meaning to twirl, swirl, or spin. It's a vivid and dynamic verb that evokes a strong visual image.

In the song, it's used to describe a loved one dancing: "Tu tourbillonneras dans ta robe rouge sang" (You will twirl in your blood-red dress). This word perfectly captures the graceful and captivating movement of dancing, making it a memorable and enticing choice.

What if you could feel immortal, even for just one second? In "IMMORTEL," Belgian rapper Scylla explores this powerful idea. He describes two moments that make him feel like he can live forever: the electrifying energy of performing on stage for thousands of fans, and the beautiful, cinematic experience of watching a loved one dance on a rooftop in a blood-red dress.

This desire for a legendary moment is intensified by a sense of impending doom. With lyrics like "bientôt c'est la fin du monde" (soon it's the end of the world), the song creates an urgent atmosphere. The singer urges his companion to dance without fear, to live so intensely in the present that they can "plier le temps" (bend time). It's a dark but beautiful call to find extraordinary meaning in fleeting seconds, especially when it feels like nothing else matters.
