On Avance Lyrics in English TAL

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song On Avance by TAL from French to English.
We move forward
If I hear my elders judge, criticize my generation
I think they forget a bit too fast
That the world is the way they left it
But we're not all disillusioned
We just lack some air, some bearings
No matter where, wherever we go
We walk on a fault line
We move forward in silence
Like everyone who dares to make things move
With no flag and no hero
We're all aching for an ideal
We move forward in silence
But the time will come when our cries from the heart
We'll know how to let them out
And we'll choose our own future
We don't want to change everything at once
Or redo a revolution
A bit subtler than people think
We all have an island deep inside
And we put our dreams on hold there
And all our hopes while we wait
To finally be able to show everything we are
We move forward in silence
Like everyone who dares to make things move
With no flag and no hero
We're all aching for an ideal
We move forward in silence
But the time will come when our cries from the heart
We'll know how to let them out
And we'll choose our own future
I know there's still a way to go
And that our hearts often lose hope
But beyond our fears and our anger
The day of this new era will come
We move forward in silence
Like everyone who dares to make things move
With no flag and no hero
We're all aching for an ideal
We move forward in silence
But the time will come when our cries from the heart
We'll know how to let them out
And we'll choose our own future
We move forward in silence
Like everyone who dares to make things move
With no flag and no hero
We're all aching for an ideal

SONG MEANING

“On Avance” by TAL is an anthem for a new generation that keeps moving forward even when the world feels shaky beneath their feet. In the lyrics, TAL responds to older voices who criticize today’s youth, reminding them that the current world is the one they inherited. She paints a picture of young people who may feel short on guidance and oxygen, yet they still carry quiet determination. They do not march with grand flags or famous heroes; instead, they push for change subtly, storing their big dreams on a hidden “island” inside until the right moment arrives.

The chorus is a promise: progress might be silent today, but one day their hearts will speak out loud and choose the future they want. TAL acknowledges frustration and fear, but she counters it with hope for a “new era” born from courage and unity. The song encourages listeners to believe in gradual yet powerful evolution rather than sudden revolutions. It is a motivational reminder that even if you feel overlooked, your quiet steps are still shaping tomorrow.
