Les Humains Lyrics in English Voyou

Home / Lyrics Translation / Voyou / Les Humains

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Humains by Voyou from French to English.

You've been round the city

And all around the planet

You set foot on islands

Where you were illiterate

You've seen styles pass by

Of girls and boys

And you've brushed against snippets

Of lives and horizons

But a good trip's a prison

When there's someone who loves you at home

And there's humans everywhere

Big ones, tiny ones

Crowds, faces and lives

That bustle day and night

And of those humans everywhere

Who passed before your eyes

Who told you about themselves and their lives

It's her you chose

You zig, you zag

In the middle of the waves

Of people, of houses

You drag your mug

At the mercy of timetables and seasons

After four flights

That's tough luck

At her place it's night

It's so boring

You're alone at the edge of the map

And alone at the end of the line and of your life

All those pretty trips are prison

When there's someone who loves you at home

And there's humans everywhere

Big ones, tiny ones

Crowds, faces and lives

That bustle day and night

And of those humans everywhere

Who passed before your eyes

Who told you about themselves and their lives

It's her you chose

There's humans all around

Big ones, tiny ones

Crowds, faces and lives

That bustle day and night

And of those humans everywhere

Who passed before your eyes

Who told you about themselves and their lives

It's her you chose

SONG MEANING

Ever dreamed of jet-setting around the globe, hopping from tropical islands to buzzing cities, meeting an endless parade of strangers? In "Les Humains," French indie-pop artist Voyou turns that fantasy on its head. The narrator has stamped every passport page, met “des grands, des tout petits” and watched entire crowds pulse with life, yet each dazzling sight only highlights a surprising truth: constant motion can feel like a cage when your heart is anchored at home.

Voyou playfully contrasts the thrill of discovery with the ache of missing “quelqu’un qui t’aime à la maison.” No matter how many faces flash by, only one face truly matters, and every arrival in a new time zone is just one more reminder of the distance from her. The song becomes a warm, bittersweet ode to love that outshines wanderlust, proving that amid “des humains de toute part,” the most extraordinary journey is choosing one person out of the crowd.
