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 goes to toss into the sea

Empty bottles and then hopes

That they can be read through

S.O.S. written in air

To tell you I feel lonely

I draw a desert with empty ink

And I run, I cling to life

I get drunk on the noise

Of bodies around me

Like vines knotted into braids

Without understanding the distress

Of the words I send out

Hard to call for help

When so many dramas oppress us

And tears knotted with stress

Choke the cries of love a little more

Of those who are weak

And, in a last hope, vanish

And I run, I cling to life

I get drunk on the noise

Of bodies around me

Like vines knotted into braids

Without understanding the distress

Of the words I send out

All the screams, the S.O.S's

Fly off into the air

In the water leave a trace

Whose foam makes their beauty

Caught in their glass vessel

The messages struggle but the waves bring them back

As star stones on the rocks

And I picked up the shards of glass

I glued all the pieces back together

Everything was clear like water

Against the past there's nothing to do

We'd have to change the heroes

In a world where the most beautiful remains to be done

And I run, I cling to life

I get drunk on the noise

Of bodies around me

Like vines knotted into braids

Without understanding the distress

Of the words I send out

All the screams, the S.O.S's

Fly off into the air, into the water

Leave a trace

Whose foam makes their beauty

Caught in their glass vessel

The messages struggle but the waves bring them back

As star stones on the rocks

All the screams, the S.O.S's

Fly off into the air

In the water leave a trace

Whose foam makes their beauty

Caught in their glass vessel

The messages struggle 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.
