Merci Pour Ça Lyrics in English Vianney

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Merci Pour Ça by Vianney from French to English.
The people we don't look at
Are forgotten treasures
There were so many things in you
And few people to love them
I keep our images
That I often look at
Before turning the page
You have to want it in the end
And tomorrow
I will walk the path again
My steps just next to yours
If only the heart is what we see clearly
Before you, I saw nothing
The people we don't look at
Are books never read
I read deep within you
An old novel that I liked
You weren't perfect maybe
But everything is imperfect now
You are one of those we regret
Sometimes brilliant, sometimes embarrassing
And tomorrow
I will walk the path again
My steps just next to yours
If only the heart is what we see clearly
Before you, I saw nothing
Before you
I had no horizon
I had a cardboard heart
I only saw myself
Thank you for that
A wandering vagabond
A leaf in the wind
I was only half of myself
Before you
Before you
Before you
Before you
And tomorrow
I will walk the path again
My steps just next to yours
If only the heart is what we see clearly
Before you
I saw nothing

SONG MEANING

Merci Pour Ça ("Thanks for That") is Vianney’s heartfelt thank-you note wrapped in an upbeat folk-pop melody. Singing to someone who once walked by his side, he celebrates the moment they opened his eyes to the invisible treasures all around: the people we usually overlook, the stories we never bother to read. Through vivid images of "forgotten gems" and "unread books," he shows how this companion helped him notice the beauty and complexity hidden in every passer-by.

The refrain "Avant toi" ("Before you") turns the song into a touching before-and-after snapshot. Before meeting this person, Vianney felt like a cardboard heart and a leaf drifting in the wind—half alive, half aware. Thanks to them, he now has horizons, empathy, and purpose. In just a few poetic minutes, the singer reminds us that seeing with the heart can change not only how we look at others but also who we become. Merci pour ça, indeed!
