Il Faut Partir Lyrics in English by Sofia Essaidi, Dominique Magloire
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Faut Partir by Sofia Essaidi from French to English.
Tout s'écroule un jour ou l'autre
Everything falls apart one day or another
Même si on ne veut pas le reconnaître
Even if we don't want to admit it
Quand ce jour frappe et force la porte
When that day knocks and forces the door
On n'est jamais prêt à se soumettre
We're never ready to surrender
On se referme
We close ourselves off
Quand le sort en est jeté
When fate is sealed
Qu'il s'est mis en travers de ta route
That it has gotten in your way
Dis-toi qu'il faut bien t'en détacher
Tell yourself you need to detach from it
Rien ne sert encore de t'accrocher
There's no point in clinging on anymore
A tes doutes
To your doubts
Il faut partir
You have to leave
Commencer par partir
Start by leaving
Y voir plus clair
To see things more clearly
Et voir venir
And see what's coming
Continuer ailleurs
Continue elsewhere
Parce que c'est tout ce qu'il reste à faire
Because it's all that's left to do
Il faut partir
You have to leave
Commencer par partir
Start by leaving
Y voir plus clair
To see things more clearly
Et voir venir
And see what's coming
Continuer ailleurs
Continue elsewhere
Parce que c'est tout ce qu'il reste à faire
Because it's all that's left to do
Qu'est-ce qui m'attend maintenant ?
What awaits me now?
Où trouver la force d'avancer ?
Where to find the strength to move forward?
De vivre ou au moins de faire semblant
To live or at least to pretend
Une épaule sur laquelle t'appuyer
A shoulder to lean on
Pour oublier
To forget
Là-bas, le ciel te connaît
Over there, the sky knows you
Il berce encore un peu ton enfance
It still cradles your childhood a little
Dis-toi qu'il faudra t'en rattacher
Tell yourself you'll have to reconnect with it
Y a toujours une étoile à distance
There's always a distant star
A retrouver
To find again
Il faut partir
You have to leave
Commencer par partir
Start by leaving
Y voir plus clair
To see things more clearly
Et voir venir
And see what's coming
Continuer ailleurs
Continue elsewhere
Parce que c'est tout ce qu'il reste à faire
Because it's all that's left to do
Il faut partir
You have to leave
Commencer par partir
Start by leaving
Y voir plus clair
To see things more clearly
Et voir venir
And see what's coming
Continuer ailleurs
Continue elsewhere
Parce que c'est tout ce qu'il reste à faire
Because it's all that's left to do
Il faut partir
You have to leave
On finit par partir
We end up leaving
On veut refaire
We want to start over
Et puis revivre
And then live again
Recommencer ailleurs
Start over elsewhere
Parce que tout est encore à faire
Because everything is still to be done
Il faut partir
You have to leave
Commencer par partir
Start by leaving
Y voir plus clair
To see things more clearly
Et voir venir
And see what's coming
Continuer ailleurs
Continue elsewhere
Parce que c'est tout ce qu'il reste à faire
Because it's all that's left to do
Il faut partir
You have to leave
Commencer par partir
Start by leaving
Y voir plus clair
To see things more clearly
Et voir venir
And see what's coming
Continuer ailleurs
Continue elsewhere
Parce que c'est tout ce qu'il reste à faire
Because it's all that's left to do
Parce que c'est tout ce qu'il reste à faire
Because it's all that's left to do
Parce que c'est tout ce qu'il reste à faire
Because it's all that's left to do

Did you like this lyrics translation?
s'écroule — collapses
S'écroule means 'collapses' or 'crumbles down'. It's a strong, evocative verb that paints a vivid picture of something falling apart.
In the song, it's used to describe how "Tout s'écroule un jour ou l'autre" (Everything collapses one day or another), setting a somber and reflective tone about the inevitable challenges and endings in life. This word is impactful because it conveys a sense of finality and the dramatic breakdown of situations or hopes.
