Avant Toi Lyrics in English Vitaa , Slimane

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Avant Toi by Vitaa from French to English.
No image, no color
No story, my soulmate
No parties, no heart
No smile, my soulmate
You know, the world wasn't turning right
I had the words but not the song
You know love, you know passion
Yeah, it's written, it was said
Yeah, that's life
Before you, I had nothing
Before you
Nobody showed me the way
I know Heaven doesn't blame me
For laying eyes on you
Before you
Nobody showed me the way
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
No house, no happiness
No reason, my soulmate
No laughter, but no tears
I was alone here, my soulmate
You know, the world wasn't turning right
I had the words but not the song
You know love in every way
Yeah, it's written, it was said
Yeah, that's life
Before you, I had nothing
Before you
Nobody showed me the way
I know Heaven doesn't blame me
For laying eyes on you
Before you
Nobody showed me the way
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Before you, I had nothing
Before you
Nobody showed me the way
Before you, I had nothing
Before you
Nobody showed me the way
I know Heaven doesn't blame me
For laying eyes on you
Before you
Nobody showed me the way
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

SONG MEANING

Avant Toi paints a vivid before and after portrait of love. Vitaa and Slimane describe a life that once felt colorless: no parties, no laughter, no real heartbeat in the everyday routine. They had “the words but not the song,” meaning they possessed feelings yet lacked the spark to bring them to life. The repeating line “Avant toi, je n’avais rien” (“Before you, I had nothing”) sets the emotional baseline—everything was muted and slightly off-kilter until that special person appeared.

When the two voices unite, the track bursts into brightness. Meeting the soulmate brings purpose, direction, even a sense that destiny and heaven approve of their union. Love becomes the missing melody that makes the world spin correctly, filling the empty house with warmth and transforming silence into joyous harmony. In short, the song is a heartfelt celebration of how one encounter can illuminate an entire existence.
