Comme Ci, Comme Ça Lyrics in English ZAZ

Home / Lyrics Translation / ZAZ / Comme Ci, Comme Ça

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Comme Ci, Comme Ça by ZAZ from French to English.

They want to make me into what I am not

But I continue on my path

And I won't get lost, that's how it is

Wanting at all costs to change me

And over time take away my freedom

Fortunately

I was able to do otherwise

I choose to simply be myself

I am like this and it suits me

You won't change me

I am like this and too bad

I live without scrutiny

Like this, like that, without prohibition

They won't stop me from following my path

And believing in my hands

Listen, listen to it, that little voice

Listen to it well, it guides your steps

With it, you can escape

The dreams of others that they would like to impose on you

Those words don't lie, no

It's your soul that sings

Your own melody

I am like this and it suits me

You won't change me

I am like this and too bad

I live without scrutiny

Like this, like that, without prohibition

They won't stop me from following my path

And believing in my hands

If that's it, it's enough, that's how it is

It's like this, like that

It's known, that's for sure, we know that

It's like this, like that

If that's it, it's enough, that's how it is

It's like this, like that

It's known, that's for sure, we know that

It's like this, like that

I am like this and it suits me

You won't change me

I am like this and that's how it is

I live without scrutiny

Like this, like that, without fear of wanting

They won't stop me from following my path

Creating what makes me feel good

I am like this

Like this, like that

Like that, like this

You won't stop me from following my path

Creating what makes me feel good

Following my path

And believing in my hands

If that's it, it's enough, that's how it is

It's like this, like that!

SONG MEANING

ZAZ’s “Comme Ci, Comme Ça” is a joyful anthem of unapologetic self-expression. The singer brushes off anyone who tries to shape her into something she is not, proudly declaring, “Je suis comme ci… je suis comme ça” – I’m like this, I’m like that. Instead of bending to outside expectations, she tunes into her own inner voice, trusts her hands, and walks her own path. The repetitive chorus feels like a musical shrug that says, Take me or leave me, I’m fine either way!

Beneath its playful rhythm, the song delivers a powerful message: true freedom comes from embracing your quirks, your dreams, and your creative spark. ZAZ reminds us that life is too short for borrowed ambitions. Listen closely, follow your gut, and let your soul sing its very own melody – just comme ci, comme ça.
