Allô Lyrics in English Zaho

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Allô by Zaho from French to English.
I should have tried everything
Failing everything and ending up handcuffed
I could have messed up
Go with a backpack, OK
I could have been disillusioned
But luck knocked at my door
I left A.L.G
Guitar in hand, Bob Marley t-shirt, OK
Emergency state
I make noise like ambulances
And if I die out in silence
I would have been a shooting star
That's why I don't wait for anyone
I do things on time before my time comes
Need to see the world in person
Do you hear my voice that resonates
Yeah-yeah-yo
Hello? Hello
What if my dreams fell through
Hello, who is Zaho?
Exiled to the end of the world alone
Hello? Hello
What if my dreams fell through
Hello, who is Zaho?
I live my life alone
Wow-ooh-oh-wow Wow-ooh-woh Solo, oooh
Wow-ooh-oh-wow Wow-ooh-woh
Solo, isolated
Welcome to the other side
My tears are salty
Who can console them?
All these lights and skyscrapers
Have seen me bloom and fade
I told myself
But, I'm not finished, not finished
To write my epic, OK
Emergency state
I make noise like ambulances
And if I die out in silence
I would have been a shooting star
That's why I don't wait for anyone
I do things on time before my time comes
Need to speak to you in person
I'm on the line and it rings
Yeah-yeah-yo
Hello? Hello
What if my dreams fell through
Hello, who is Zaho?
Exiled to the end of the world alone
Hello? Hello
What if my dreams fell through
Hello, who is Zaho?
I live my life alone
The moon attracts me like the waves
My land calls me and I break down
Yes, I'm delirious, I'm rambling
High tide, low tide
Oooh
So I run and trace
Leaving some traces behind
My fate between heads and tails
High tide and low tide
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yo
Hello? Hello
What if my dreams fell through
Hello, who is Zaho?
Exiled to the end of the world alone
Hello? Hello
What if my dreams fell through
Hello, who is Zaho?
I live my life alone
Hello? Hello
What if my dreams fell through
Hello, who is Zaho?
Exiled to the end of the world alone
Hello? Hello
What if my dreams fell through
Hello, who is Zaho?
I live my life alone

SONG MEANING

Pick up the phone—‘Allô’! Zaho’s call rings out like an electric jolt, inviting us into the diary of a fearless dream-chaser. Guitar in hand and a Bob Marley T-shirt on her back, she bolts from Algiers toward the unknown, confessing that she could have failed, crashed, or even ended up “menottée” (in handcuffs). Instead, luck knocks and she answers with urgency, vowing to make noise “comme les ambulances” before her time runs out. Every “Allô?” is both a question and a rallying cry: Can you hear me while I chase the world in real time?

Beneath the upbeat rhythm lies the solitude of exile. Zaho’s new skyline of neon lights and skyscrapers watches her bloom, wilt, and bloom again. Tides rise and fall, doubts whisper, yet she keeps sprinting, accepting that her fate flips between heads and tails. Whether her dreams sink “à l’eau” or shoot across the sky like a comet, she owns the journey—en solo. The song is a vibrant mix of courage, homesickness, and relentless ambition that urges listeners to answer their own inner call and keep moving, no matter how far from home they roam.
