Speed Lyrics in English Zazie

Home / Lyrics Translation / Zazie / Speed

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

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

Beat, my heart

Pound and get out

Of this body

Come on, hop

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

Speed again

Outro

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 She imagines our inner pulse as a sleepy bear, hiding in a cave for months, acting grumpy and out of date.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