Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nos Âmes Sont by Zazie from French to English.

What our souls are

Good children, who turn in the cages

Of our hotheads

What our souls are

Or what they think

Of us, of the violence, of our declared wars

How beautiful our souls are

But we cruel men

We clip their wings, we wring their necks

What our souls have suffered

To be our prisoners

Prisoners

What our souls are

Bubble children, confined, ridiculous

Stuck deep inside us

What men do to them

No one knew

That caught in our nets, our souls would suffocate

How beautiful our souls are

But let men get involved

In their nets are voices that we don't listen to

How beautiful our souls are

Do men remember

Remember

Do men remember

Should we be so deaf?

To envy being human?

To be human

SONG MEANING

Nos Âmes Sont paints a vivid picture of the delicate, child-like souls hiding inside each of us. Zazie contrasts their innocence with the chaos we create: wars, cruelty, and the cages of our own minds. The lyrics suggest that while our souls are naturally beautiful and free, we often clip their wings, silence their voices, and let them suffocate under the weight of human violence and indifference.

Instead of preaching, the song throws a spotlight on this inner conflict and asks a piercing question: How deaf have we become to our own humanity? By personifying the soul as a trapped but hopeful child-bubble, Zazie invites listeners to reconnect with empathy, remember our essential kindness, and let those imprisoned voices finally breathe.
