Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Long De La Route by ZAZ from French to English.

We didn't bother

To come together a bit

Before time takes

Our desires and wishes

The images, the quarrels

Of the resentful past

Have forged our armors

Our hearts have sealed

Staying alone in our corner

Our demons animated

Lost in our drawings

Without color, dark gray

We could have chosen

Forgiveness, tried

Another future story

Instead of wanting to forget

Let's take each other's hand

Along the road

Let's choose our destinies

Without any doubt

I have faith and it's nothing

But a matter of listening

To open wide our little hands

At all costs

We didn't bother

To talk about us

Our pride always ahead

Without being able to kneel

In our transparent eyes

The lie on our teeth

Impossible to deny it

Our whole body revealed

Let's take each other's hand

Along the road

Let's choose our destinies

Without any doubt

I have faith and it's nothing

But a matter of listening

To open wide our little hands

At all costs

Let's take each other's hand

Along the road

Let life live

Slide without holding back

And words are just words

Not the most important

We put our own meanings

That change according to people

It's stupid, how stupid we can be

To hide from ourselves

It's stupid, how stupid we can be

Because the other is just a reflection of what we keep covered

If our rooted paths

Don't come to freeze us

It's the beginning of our dreams

That tend to confirm

Let's take each other's hand

Along the road

Let's choose our destinies

Without any doubt

I have faith and it's nothing

But a matter of listening

To open wide our little hands

At all costs

Let's take each other's hand

Along the road

Let life live

Slide without holding back

If our rooted paths

Don't come to freeze us

It's the beginning of our dreams

That tend to confirm

It's stupid, how stupid we can be

To hide from ourselves

It's stupid, how stupid we can be

Because the other is just a reflection of what we keep covered

SONG MEANING

Le Long De La Route feels like a friendly nudge from ZAZ to drop our armor and walk side by side. She sings about how pride, old arguments, and unspoken feelings have sealed our hearts, painting our lives in dull greys. Yet, the moment we choose to prendre la main—take each other’s hand—the road brightens. Forgiveness, honest listening, and a leap of faith can turn silence into vibrant color and transform lonely corners into shared adventures.

In playful, plain-spoken lines (“C’est con, ce qu’on peut être con”), ZAZ admits how silly we are when we hide from ourselves and forget that others mirror what we refuse to see. The song ultimately celebrates freedom: letting life flow, letting words stay just words, and daring to dream together. It is a hopeful anthem that reminds us the journey matters more than the baggage, and that every step taken in unity brings us closer to the future we truly want.
