D'autres Que Nous Lyrics in English Ycare , Axelle Red

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song D'autres Que Nous by Ycare from French to English.
Do the walls remember us?
Our promises?
Sometimes I go to the address of our great love
I walk past and hope to see you through the window
Trusting, a smile at the corner of your lips
And then I lift my head
I see that there's light
Others will spend their winter nights there
By the soft fire
Others, not us
Will make love under these windows
Others will live long nights of parties
Others, not us
Will wage war or maybe they'll love each other forever?
Others like us will do the same
14 boulevard Saint Michel
Do the neighbors remember us?
Our tenderness?
I go back to our old address to settle things
The entry code isn't the same anymore
The caretaker's retired
So I watch if the windows still let the daylight through
I can barely see any light
Others like us cry with grief under a streetlamp
Far from gentle fires
Others, not us
Will make love under these windows
Others will live long nights of parties
Others, not us
Will wage war or maybe they'll love each other forever?
Others like us will do the same
14 boulevard Saint Michel
We had nothing, we were everything
We were us
We had nothing but we were everything
Like others before us
Others like us
Made love under these windows
Others like us lived long nights of parties
Others like us
Fought wars, yeah but maybe they'll love each other forever?
Life was so much more beautiful
14 boulevard Saint Michel
Life was so much more beautiful
14 boulevard Saint-Michel

SONG MEANING

14 Boulevard Saint-Michel is more than just an address in D’autres Que Nous; it is a time capsule. Ycare and Axelle Red stroll past their former home, wondering if the walls, neighbors, and fading daylight still remember the laughter, tenderness, and promises they once planted there. Each line is a snapshot: sneaking a hopeful glance at the windows, testing an old door code that no longer works, and realizing even the concierge has retired.

The duet mixes bittersweet nostalgia with a warm sense of perspective. Other couples now sit by the same fireplace, celebrate, argue, or maybe love forever. By shifting the spotlight to these unknown residents, the song reminds us that every love story is part of a larger human carousel. We come and go, but the rooms keep echoing with new beginnings. It is a gentle lesson that while places stay, people and feelings evolve—yet our memories remain glowing like a light left on in a familiar window.
