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 isn't forgetful
My anger isn't naive
My anger loves the Republic
But fights all its deviations
My anger believes in justice
My anger is only civic
My anger isn't a vice
Because it fights every hate
My anger loves tolerance
My anger never cheats
My anger makes the difference
Between a cause and its effects
My anger
My anger isn't a front
It's not national
My anger
My anger's scared too
Fear is its enemy
My anger
My anger isn't a front
It's not national
My anger
Cause my anger holds all honor
To fight theirs
My anger isn't strategic
My anger is defenseless
My anger has no rhetoric
To insult intelligence
My anger isn't a lie
My anger's full of hope
My anger's no longer a dream
When all their dream is a nightmare
My anger
My anger isn't a front
It's not national
My anger
My anger's scared too
Fear is its enemy
My anger
My anger isn't a front
It's not national
My anger
Cause my anger holds all honor
To fight theirs
My anger
My anger
My anger
My anger isn't a front
It's not national
My anger
My anger's scared too
Fear is its enemy
My anger
My anger isn't a front
It's not national
My anger
Because my anger has every 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.
