Demain C'est Toi Lyrics in English ZAZ

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Demain C'est Toi by ZAZ from French to English.
I'm drawing paths that wait only for you
To you, child on the way, I walk ahead of your steps
I whisper your name in the breath of my voice
I'll offer you the world, you I don't yet know
I open my heart wide to you like we open our hands
I wish you joys as big as mine
Tomorrow is you
I'm learning the alphabets of each of your gestures
I sing you my dreams of open space and the Far West
I want for you love, rare and precious
All the beauty of the world within reach of your eyes
With fists heated white-hot, I forge for tomorrow
Your joys that I wish as big as mine
Tomorrow is you
I give you the keys that open every chest
I pulverize the walls of the prisons they're giving you
I run to infinity so I won't leave you
Everything I didn't say's 'cause you know it
It's 'cause you know it
To you, child who's coming like early morning
I wish you joys as big as mine
Tomorrow is you

SONG MEANING

Demain C'est Toi feels like a radiant love letter sent through time to an unborn child. With every line, ZAZ paints a hopeful roadmap where she clears paths, melts prison-like walls, and gifts all the beauty of the world to the little soul she hasn’t met yet. The song overflows with parental tenderness: she whispers the child’s name to the wind, forges a brighter tomorrow with white-hot fists, and vows that happiness will be as boundless as her own.

Beneath the gentle folk melody lies a powerful message: the future belongs to the next generation, so we must nurture it with love, freedom, and limitless possibilities. By addressing “the child who comes, like a small dawn,” ZAZ reminds us that every act of care today lights the way for tomorrow. Listening to this track feels like being wrapped in a warm promise that the world can indeed be kinder, brighter, and tailor-made for new dreams.
