Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je M'en Vais by Vianney from French to English.

J'ai troqué mes cliques et mes claques

I traded my odds and ends

Contre des cloques et des flaques

For blisters and puddles

Un sac à dos pour oublier

A backpack to forget

Qu'avant c'est toi qui me pesais

That before it was you who weighed me down

Ce qui m'emmène, ce qui m'entraîne

What carries me, what pulls me along

C'est ma peine, ma peine plus que la haine

It's my pain, my pain more than hate

Ma route, ma plaine

my road, my plain

Dieu que je l'aime

God, I love it

Tournent, et tournent dans ma tête

Spin and spin in my head

Les images du long métrage

The images from the feature film

Où tu es belle et moi la bête

Where you're the beauty and I'm the beast

Et la belle n'est jamais sage

And beauty's never tame

Quand tu diras que c'est ma faute

When you say it's my fault

Que je n'ai jamais su t'aimer

That I never knew how to love you

Au diable toi et tes apôtres

To hell with you and your apostles

Je m'en vais

I'm leaving

Et ce qui perle sur mon front

And what's beading on my forehead

Gouttes de pluie, gouttes de froid

Drops of rain, drops of cold

Donnent des ailes, donnent dont

Give wings, so they give

L'envie de m'éloigner de toi

The urge to get away from you

Et mes larmes, et mes armes

And my tears, and my weapons

Sont ma peine, ma peine plus que la haine

Are my pain, my pain more than hate

Et mes larmes, mes larmes

And my tears, my tears

Dieu que j'ai mal

God, it hurts

Tournent, et tournent dans ma tête

Spin and spin in my head

Les images du long métrage

The images from the feature film

Où tu es belle et moi la bête

Where you're the beauty and I'm the beast

Et la belle n'est jamais sage

And beauty's never tame

Quand tu diras que c'est ma faute

When you say it's my fault

Que je n'ai jamais su t'aimer

That I never knew how to love you

Au diable toi et tes apôtres

To hell with you and your apostles

Je m'en vais

I'm leaving

Je m'en vais

I'm leaving

Je m'en vais

I'm leaving

Outro

Et tournent, et tournent dans ma tête

And they spin and spin in my head

Les images du long métrage

The images from the feature film

Où tu es belle et moi la bête

Where you're the beauty and I'm the beast

Et la belle n'est jamais sage

And beauty's never tame

Quand tu diras que c'est ma faute

When you say it's my fault

Que je n'ai jamais su t'aimer

That I never knew how to love you

Au diable toi et tes apôtres

To hell with you and your apostles

Je m'en vais

I'm leaving

Je m'en vais

I'm leaving

"Je M'en Vais" by Vianney is a poignant French song that delves into the emotions of heartbreak and moving on from a toxic relationship. The lyrics express a sense of liberation and empowerment as the singer leaves behind a past love that brought pain and sorrow. The imagery of raindrops and cold on the singer's forehead symbolizes the emotional weight being lifted, giving him the desire to distance himself from the person who once caused him hurt. The repetition of "Je m'en vais" reinforces the theme of departure and self-discovery, ultimately conveying a message of letting go and finding peace within oneself.
