Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Bruits De La Ville by Voyou from French to English.

You'll see it's your chance

People come here and everything starts over

In the middle of the city noises

You arrived all shy

Lost in the scenery

Heart exposed and eyes devouring

All the flavors of the city

Calling you between its lines

Solid and merciless

Passersby crowded its alleys

Rushing like a river

Eager to reach its heart

You jump and in one leap

You blend into the crowd

That carries you randomly

Like a feather in a blizzard

So far that suddenly you panic

You feel your feet leaving the ground

And your mind flying away

Alone

In the early morning

Like a sailor on a beach

Dropped there by a wave

You hear the avalanche

Of a busy army of souls rushing

Making your whole body vibrate

Hoping that this time you'll make it

You jump and in one leap

You blend into the crowd

That carries you randomly

Like a feather in a blizzard

So far that suddenly you panic

You feel your feet leaving the ground

And your mind flying away

Everything moves so fast around your body

The noise of colors

Everything mixes and your heart lifts again

When your eyes close

In this maze with no landmarks

You're like a tadpole

Lost in the middle of a coral reef

And in its bowels the city swallows us and you derail

Caught in the spiral

You've set sail

Ready for the battle

You'll see it's your chance

People come here and everything starts over

In the middle of the city noises

You arrived all shy

Lost in the scenery

Heart exposed and eyes devouring

All the flavors of the city

Calling you between its lines

SONG MEANING

Les Bruits De La Ville paints the thrilling moment when a shy newcomer steps off the train and is instantly swept into the neon swirl of an ever-moving metropolis. Voyou and Yelle describe a city that roars like an ocean and glitters like a coral reef, pulling the wide-eyed traveler through crowded avenues, flashing colors, and pounding rhythms. Every honk, every footstep, every passing face feels like an invitation to start over, to let the “noise” erase yesterday and write something brand-new today.

Beneath the catchy beat, the song explores that dizzy dance between excitement and panic, freedom and anonymity. The city lifts you up like “a feather in a blizzard,” then drops you back at dawn, bewildered yet buzzing with possibility. It is a reminder that getting lost can be the first step to finding yourself, and that in the chaos of urban life we can still choose to hoist our sails, dive in, and claim our chance to begin again.
