Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Si Jamais J'oublie by ZAZ from French to English.

Remind me of the day and the year

Remind me of the weather

And if I forgot

You can shake me

And if I feel like leaving

Lock me up and throw away the key

With reminder shots

Tell me my name

If I ever forget

The nights I've spent

The guitars and the screams

Remind me who I am

Why

I am alive

If I ever forget to run for my life

If one day I flee

Remind me who I am

What I had promised myself

Remind me of my wildest dreams

Remind me of those tears on my cheeks

And if I forgot

How much I loved to sing

If I ever forget

The nights I've spent

The guitars and the screams

Remind me who I am

Why I am alive

If I ever forget to run for my life

If one day I flee

Remind me who I am

What I had promised myself

ooooh

Remind me who I am

If I ever forget to run for my life

If one day I flee

Remind me who I am

What I had promised myself

If I ever forget

The nights I've spent

The guitars and the screams

Remind me who I am

Why

I am alive

Remind me of the day and the year

SONG MEANING

Imagine leaving sticky notes on the walls of your life so you never forget why you started. That is the spirit of ZAZ’s “Si Jamais J’oublie.” In this upbeat plea, the French singer asks her friends to shake her up, lock the door, and shout her name if she ever loses sight of her roots. She wants reminders of sweaty late-night gigs, ringing guitars, wild dreams, and the tear-streaked joy that first pushed her onstage.

The song is a joyful safety net—an urgent call to stay authentic when fame, fear, or routine tempt her to run. Each chorus is a musical Post-it: Remember who you are, why you sing, and what you promised yourself. Listeners come away feeling invited to protect their own passions, keeping life’s guitars and cries echoing even when memory fades.
