Pas Là Lyrics in English Vianney

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pas Là by Vianney from French to English.
I am a jug
Leaky, furthermore
I have cracked skin
Since you, dried up
When the moon comes
And the cool wind
Out of habit
I look for you on the couch
God, it's far
The night of revelry
Where I found your hand
Long before the sadness
You were tracking me
You had seen me
You took me as a necklace
And you stretched my neck
But you're not here, where are you?
Where are you
Nights of ivory
Sure, I owe you that
If yours are black
No, I don't blame you
That's life
Well, especially yours
I dull myself
Playing the fountains
But you're not here, where are you?
Where are you
I replace you
As best I can
Let everything fade away
I wish for it
It will be without you, then!
Then
I just have to agree
To you jugs
Hearts in pieces
Let's be the hive
The hive
Of a festive future
But you're not here, where are you?
Where are you

SONG MEANING

Imagine feeling as leaky as a cracked jug, drying out under the moonlight while instinctively reaching for someone who is no longer on the sofa. “Pas Là” paints that exact picture: Vianney mixes playful imagery with raw heartbreak to describe the hollow echo that follows a breakup. The repeated question "Mais t'es pas là, mais t'es où?" is both a catchy hook and a desperate chant, capturing the shock of absence after nights once filled with joy, laughter, and intertwined hands.

Yet beneath the melancholy, the song carries a spark of resilience. The singer vows to keep living, to replace lost love however he can, and even invites every other "cracked jug" to join a buzzing new hive of wounded hearts determined to party again. It is a bittersweet anthem that balances tender vulnerability with a cheeky wink, reminding us that even when someone vanishes from our lives, the future can still be a celebration.
