Ma Colère Lyrics in English Yannick Noah

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ma Colère by Yannick Noah from French to English.
My anger is not amnesic
My anger is not naive
My anger loves the Republic
But fights all the abuses
My anger believes in justice
My anger is only a citizen
My anger is not a vice
Because it fights all hatred
My anger loves tolerance
My anger never cheats
My anger makes the difference
Between a cause and its effects
My anger
My anger is not a front
It is not national
My anger
My anger is also afraid
Fear is its enemy
My anger
My anger is not a front
It is not national
My anger
Because my anger has all the honor
To fight theirs
My anger is not strategic
My anger is defenseless
My anger has no rhetoric
To insult intelligence
My anger is not a lie
My anger is full of hope
My anger is no longer a dream
When all their dreams are nightmares
My anger
My anger is not a front
It is not national
My anger
My anger is also afraid
Fear is its enemy
My anger
My anger is not a front
It is not national
My anger
Because my anger has all the honor
To fight theirs
My anger
My anger
My anger
My anger is not a front
It is not national
My anger
My anger is also afraid
Fear is its enemy
My anger
My anger is not a front
It is not national
My anger
Because my anger has all the honor
To fight theirs

SONG MEANING

Yannick Noah turns anger into a rallying cry in Ma Colère, channeling the fiery energy of protest into a message of unity and hope. Instead of glorifying rage for its own sake, the French artist paints his anger as civic, lucid, and deeply patriotic, loyal to the ideals of the Republic while loudly rejecting any extremist drift. His “colère” refuses hatred, shuns lies, and stands on the side of justice, tolerance, and intelligence. It is an anger that remembers, that believes, and that dares to draw a clear line between a noble cause and harmful consequences.

The chorus reminds us that this anger is not a nationalist front but a human response to fear, prejudice, and injustice. Vulnerable yet courageous, Noah’s indignation stands defenseless yet unwavering, armed only with hope and the honorable duty of confronting the anger of those who sow division. Ma Colère invites listeners to recognize that righteous outrage can be a positive force when it defends openness, empathy, and shared humanity.
