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 again

In the middle of the city's noise

You arrived all timid

Lost in the scenery

Heart bare and eyes that devour

All the flavors of the city

That called you between its lines

Solid and pitiless

Passers-by piled up in its lanes

Surging like a river

Eager to reach its heart

You launch yourself and in one leap

You blend into the crowd

That drags you around at random

Like a feather in full blizzard

So far that suddenly you freak out

You feel your feet leave the ground

And your mind fly away

Alone

At first light

Like a sailor on a beach

Dropped there by a wave

You hear the avalanche

Of an army of busy souls charging

Shaking your whole body

Hope you get out of it this time

You launch yourself and in one leap

You blend into the crowd

That drags you around at random

Like a feather in full blizzard

So far that suddenly you freak out

You feel your feet leave the ground

And your mind fly away

Everything's so fast around your body

The noise of colors

Everything mixes and your heart lifts again

When your eyes shut

In this maze with no landmark

You're like a tadpole

Lost right in the middle of a coral reef

And in its guts the city swallows us and you derail

Caught in the spiral

You've set the sails

Ready for battle

You'll see, it's your chance

People come here and everything starts again

In the middle of the city's noise

You arrived all timid

Lost in the scenery

Heart bare and eyes that devour

All the flavors of the city

That called 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.
