Avant Toi Lyrics in English Vitaa , Slimane

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Avant Toi by Vitaa from French to English.
There was no image, there was no color
There was no story, my soulmate
There were no parties, there was no heart
No smile, my soulmate
You know, the world wasn't spinning right
I had the words but not the song
You know love, you know passion
Yes, it's written, it was said
Yes, that's life
Before you, I had nothing
Before you
They didn't show me the way
I know, the sky doesn't blame me
For laying eyes on you
Before you
They didn't show me the way
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
There was no home, there was no happiness
I had no reason, my soulmate
There was no laughter, but there were no tears
I was alone here, my soulmate
You know, the world wasn't spinning right
I had the words but not the song
You know love in every way
Yes, it's written, it was said
Yes, that's life
Before you, I had nothing
Before you
They didn't show me the way
I know, the sky doesn't blame me
For laying eyes on you
Before you
They didn't show me the way
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Before you, I had nothing
Before you
They didn't show me the way
Before you, I had nothing
Before you
They didn't show me the way
I know, the sky doesn't blame me
For laying eyes on you
Before you
They didn't show 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.
