Speed Lyrics in English Zazie

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Speed by Zazie from French to English.
Since you've been sleeping so long
It's been months
Months you've been hibernating
That you don't come out of your cave
You can do all you want to hide it
Beneath your grumpy bear look
You still vibrate
You still vibrate
Come on, up, come on, out
I feel you beating deep inside me
You're not brand-new, but not that old
No, you're blazing old
And you're still speeding
Yeah, you still speed
Wake up, don't play dead
The universe doesn't stop
Because nobody wanted you anymore
Come on, hop
So you're free
Yeah, free again
Come on, leave this well-behaved body
Beat faster than your age
Get out of your cage
Come on, hop
Speed again
Speed again
Beat, my heart
Pound and get out
Of this body
Come on, hop
Speed again
Speed again
Beat, my heart
And get out
Of this body
Come on, hop
Speed again
My heart, get out
Get out
Of this body
Come on, hop
Come on, hop
Speed again
Outro
Come on, hop
Come on, hop
Come on, hop
Come on, hop

SONG MEANING

Feel like you've been in slow-motion hibernation? Zazie’s Speed is a playful pep-talk aimed straight at the heart. She imagines our inner pulse as a sleepy bear, hiding in a cave for months, acting grumpy and out of date. With every catchy “Allez hop,” she shakes it awake, reminding us that even if we feel “flambant vieux” (brand-new-old), the spark is still there, ready to roar back to life.

The song celebrates freedom, momentum, and the refusal to let time label us as retired dreams. Speed urges the listener to throw open the cage, crank up the tempo, and let the heart pound louder than age or doubt. It is a zesty invitation to reclaim energy, dance with the universe, and prove that you can still speed encore—race on—whenever you choose.
