L'escalier Lyrics in English The Pirouettes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'escalier by The Pirouettes from French to English.
I am the smallest in my surroundings
I listen to everything I'm told
All the omens, all the advice
And I hear the liberated
I hear the converted
Even the most confident
Deep down is not so sure of himself
And I understood
That there was nothing to understand
In this life
Neither alone nor all together
But I respect
That you ask yourself all these questions
And I wish you
To find your own reasons
Until then
The moon shines for you
It guides each of your steps
In the staircase leading to the roof
It's your victory
It's my victory
It's a reason to be here
If I hear your voice echoing
And it's been two or three days
That you're not well
You keep going over the same speech
That you're scared because we're nothing
And you can't choose anymore
Between leather and a jacket
It's normal, you're just a fool
Facing the succession of seasons
Yeah, you understood
That there was nothing to understand
In this life
Neither alone nor all together
But I respect
That they ask themselves all these questions
And I wish them
To find the right reasons
Until then
The moon shines for you
It guides each of your steps
In the staircase leading to the roof
It's your victory
It's my victory
It's a reason to be here
If I hear your voice echoing
Outro
Join me on the roof
Come with me, come with me
Join me
Wait for me there, I dreamed of it and it will come (come with me)
Outro
Wawawawa Join me, I take steps on the roof in the staircase
Come with me, come with me
Wawawawa
Wait for me there
I dreamed of it so many times
I take steps in the staircase leading to you
Join me
Come with me, come with me
Join me
Come with me, come with me
Join me on the roof, come with me, come with me

SONG MEANING

L’escalier invites us into a dreamy late-night conversation where doubts, questions, and cosmic wonder swirl together. The singer admits he is the “smallest” in his circle, soaking up everyone’s opinions, yet notices that even the most confident voices are secretly unsure. His revelation? There is nothing definitive to “understand” about life, whether we face it alone or in a crowd. Instead of sinking into despair, he offers gentle encouragement: keep searching for your reasons, and in the meantime let the moonlight guide your steps up the symbolic staircase to the rooftop.

The chorus turns that rooftop into a shared refuge. When anxiety strikes, when seasons spin and choices feel trivial—leather jacket or bomber?—the staircase becomes a path to perspective. Up there, every voice that echoes is a small victory, proof that simply being here matters. The repeated invitation “Rejoins-moi” (Join me) transforms uncertainty into connection, reminding us that while life may lack a tidy manual, climbing together under the moon can make the journey luminous and fun.
