Nuit Blanche Lyrics in English Vive la fête

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nuit Blanche by Vive la fête from French to English.
Last night was a party
It was so fantastic
Now, to be honest
It's hard on the body
I always have the problem
I never want to stop
It's great anyway
Especially during the summer
We have lots of parties
With guests
They never think "stop!"
They always want to keep going
After that it's so bad
People regretted it
It's like the marshes
Slowly it moves forward
Parties every day
Yeah, it's eccentric
I say: long live the party
To be heroic
But what're we doing
Everyone's tired
It was so much fun
And the people, they want to stay
They don't like soup
They don't like coffee
They never think "stop"
They always want to keep going
After that it's so bad
People regretted it
It's like the marshes
Slowly it moves forward
And I took my head in my hands and thought
Why did I throw this party for all the guests
Parties every day
Yeah, it's eccentric
I say: long live the party
To be heroic
Parties every day
Yeah, it's eccentric
I say: long live the party
To be heroic
Outro
Parties every day
I say: long live the party
I say: long live the party
I say: long live the party

SONG MEANING

Nuit Blanche captures the thrill of an all-night party where music, laughter, and summer heat make everyone forget about tomorrow. The singer revels in the fantastique atmosphere, shouting « Vive la fête » as guests refuse to slow down. It is a celebration of excess: no one wants soup or coffee, only more dancing and shared madness. The lyrics paint vivid scenes of flashing lights, unstoppable beats, and the magnetic pull of good company.

Yet beneath the glitter, the song hints at the morning after. Fatigue creeps in, regrets surface, and the fun starts to feel like wading through a swamp. By holding his head in his hands, the narrator wonders why he threw the party at all. This contrast turns the track into both a love letter and a cautionary tale about hedonism: partying can feel heroic, but every nuit blanche (sleepless night) eventually asks you to pay the price.
