Tous Les Cris Les S.O.S Lyrics in English ZAZ

Home / Lyrics Translation / ZAZ / Tous Les Cris Les S.O.S

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tous Les Cris Les S.O.S by ZAZ from French to English.

Like a madman throws into the sea

Empty bottles and then hopes

That one could read through

S.O.S. written with air

To tell you that I feel lonely

I draw with empty ink a desert

And I run, I cling to life

I get drunk with the noise

Of the bodies around me

Like intertwined vines of braids

Without understanding the distress

Of the words I send

Difficult to call for help

When so many dramas oppress us

And tears knotted with stress

Suffocate even more the cries of love

Of those who are in weakness

And in a last hope disappear

And I run, I cling to life

I get drunk with the noise

Of the bodies around me

Like intertwined vines of braids

Without understanding the distress

Of the words I send

All the cries, the S.O.S

Depart into the air

In the water, they leave a trace

Whose foams create beauty

Caught in their glass vessel

The messages fight but the waves bring them back

As star stones on the rocks

And I picked up the pieces of glass

I glued all the pieces back together

Everything was clear as water

There's nothing to do against the past

We should change the heroes

In a world where the best is yet to come

And I run, I cling to life

I get drunk with the noise

Of the bodies around me

Like intertwined vines of braids

Without understanding the distress

Of the words I send

All the cries, the S.O.S

Depart into the air, into the water

Leave a trace

Whose foams create beauty

Caught in their glass vessel

The messages fight but the waves bring them back

As star stones on the rocks

All the cries, the S.O.S

Depart into the air

In the water, they leave a trace

Whose foams create beauty

Caught in their glass vessel

The messages fight but the waves bring them back

As star stones on the rocks

SONG MEANING

Picture this: someone so desperate to be heard that they fling bottle after bottle into the sea, each carrying an invisible S.O.S. In “Tous Les Cris Les S.O.S,” French singer ZAZ turns that image into a powerful anthem about loneliness, unheard cries, and the stubborn spark of hope. The song uses ocean imagery—empty bottles, swirling foam, shattered glass—to show how our pleas for help can drift aimlessly, crash on distant rocks, or sparkle like “star-stones” once the tide pulls them back.

Yet beneath the melancholy lies a call to action: gather the broken pieces, rethink our “heroes,” and build a world where the most beautiful things still remain to be done. ZAZ’s soaring voice reminds us that even when we feel drowned out by life’s noise, every whisper for connection leaves a trace, waiting for someone to listen and transform it into something bright.
