Nos Âmes Sont Lyrics in English Zazie

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
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.
