Il Faut Vivre Lyrics in English Shy'm

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Faut Vivre by Shy'm from French to English.
Under a shower of stars
I screamed my love
I loved him as if
Nothing else existed around
No matter if night falls
No matter, I run
I have a glimmer in my soul
So I wait for your help
Even if I lied
Even if you run away
Even if we were two
Before night falls
We gotta live
We gotta live
Before the night falls
To lose the time to live
To conquer the world
We gotta live
Before the night falls
To lose the time to live
To conquer the world
We gotta live
Plunged into the dark
I screamed my hope
Time had stopped
My love, gone
No matter if my heart roars
No matter, I run
Between us there's this world
I'll always wait
Even if I lied
Even if you run away
Even if we were two
Before night falls
We gotta live
We gotta live
Before the night falls
To lose the time to live
To conquer the world
We gotta live
Before the night falls
To lose the time to live
To conquer the world
We gotta live
We gotta live
Before the night falls
To lose the time to live
To conquer the world
We gotta live
Before the night falls
To lose the time to live
To conquer the world
We gotta live
Before the night falls
To lose the time to live
To conquer the world
We gotta live

SONG MEANING

Shy’m’s “Il Faut Vivre” is a burst of starlit determination. The French pop star plants us under a pluie d’étoiles where she screams her love so loudly that the rest of the world fades away. Even when darkness creeps in, her heart races forward, powered by a stubborn spark of hope. She admits to mistakes, sees her partner slipping away, yet still believes a rescue is possible. The verses swing between raw confession and breathless pursuit, painting love as both battlefield and beacon.

The chorus – “Il faut vivre ! / Before the night falls” – is a rallying cry to seize every heartbeat. Shy’m urges us to “lose time” in order to truly live, to gamble precious moments on passion, adventure, and self-discovery. Whether we are chasing romance, conquering personal goals, or simply outrunning regret, the song shouts that the real tragedy is not heartbreak but letting life slip by unwitnessed. So, before night settles, crank up the volume, feel the sky of possibilities overhead, and live as loudly as Shy’m sings.
