Speed Lyrics in English Zazie

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Speed by Zazie from French to English.
Since the time you've been sleeping
It's been months
Months that you've been hibernating
That you don't come out of your cave
No matter how hard you try to hide it
Under your rough bear-like appearance
You still vibrate
You still vibrate
Come on, get up, come on, come out
I feel you beating deep inside me
You're not brand new, but not so old
No, you're blazingly old
And you're still speeding
Yes, you're still speeding
Wake up, don't play dead
The universe doesn't stop
Just because we didn't want you anymore
Come on
You are free then
Yes, still free
Come on, leave this wise body
Beat faster than your age
Get out of your cage
Come on
Speed again
Speed again
Beat, my heart
Pound and come out
From this body
Come on
Speed again
Speed again
Beat, my heart
And come out
From this body
Come on
Speed again
My heart, come out
Come out
From this body
Come on
Come on
Speed again
Outro
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on

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 She imagines our inner pulse as a sleepy bear, hiding in a cave for months, acting grumpy and out of date.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.
