Ça Ira Lyrics in English Vitaa , Slimane

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ça Ira by Vitaa from French to English.
La, lalala, lalala, lala
La, lalala, lala
We were told 'that's life'
We do what we can, that’s how it is
One more day in paradise
Be nice, work and shut up
We were told 'that's life'
Is it the heart or the head? Doctor, tell me
There's no talk of love around here anymore
Without Beauty, the Beast, what would she have done?
Even if it's not, it's not, it's not that easy
I want to keep my childish soul
Look at the world, how spleen it is
But you act like you have time
It'll be fine, the worst is over
We mustn't let each other down
Rise, rise, resist once again
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
There are more smiles at home
Me, I'm the clown at the party
Even if I only have one song
To do good for the head
Sometimes I come back to my senses
I tell myself that men are not made for that
I tell my son 'be careful
Happiness is rare, don't get used to it'
Even if it's not, it's not, it's not that easy
I want to keep my childish soul
Look at the world, how spleen it is
But you act like you have time
It'll be fine, the worst is over
We mustn't let each other down
Rise, rise, resist once again
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
La, lalala, lalala, lala
La, lalala, lala
La, lalala, lalala, lala
La, lalala, lala
It'll be fine, the worst is over
We mustn't let each other down
Rise, rise, resist once again
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
It'll be fine, the worst is over
We mustn't let each other down
Rise, rise, resist once again
It'll be okay, it'll be okay

SONG MEANING

“Ça Ira” brings together French power duo Vitaa and Slimane for an energizing pep-talk wrapped in pop-gospel vibes. From the very first la-la-las, the singers look at a gloomy world where people are told, “That’s life, just work hard and stay quiet.” They confess feeling the same sadness everyone does, yet insist on keeping a childlike spirit, cracking jokes, and soothing minds with music. Their verses paint real worries – lost smiles at home, advising a son to protect his rare moments of happiness – while still poking fun at despair like a clown at a party.

The catchy chorus flips the mood: “Ça ira, le pire est passé” (“It’ll be alright, the worst is over”). It is a rallying cry to stand up, lean on each other, and “resist once more.” The song reminds listeners that even when optimism feels naïve, choosing hope is an act of strength. Sing along, lift your chin, and let every la-la-la push you forward – because, as Vitaa and Slimane promise, it will be okay.
