English Lyrics: genius.com/Genius-english-translations-orelsan-jour-meilleur-english-translation-lyrics [Pre-Chorus] Let me tell you some stupid things before you do one The problem with life is that there's only one We will never cure depression like a cold But tell yourself that you can count on me while it lasts Allergic to life, mornings are dark When everything has a taste of déjà vu The nights are pitch black, everyone has abandoned you, even the moon But maybe the end of the desert is behind each dune [Chorus] Everything will be alright, it won't, I know you know Sometimes I won't know what to say, but I can always listen Everything will not change, well, except if you do it When you got the desert to cross, there's nothing to do except to move on Nothing to do except to move on We'll laugh about it when we see it in a brighter day Brighter day, brighter day We'll laugh about it when we see it in a brighter day Brighter day, brighter day, brighter day [Verse] Like in every pop song where all the girls are gone Like in every rap song where your bros betrayed you Sometimes you need support, sometimes you need a friend Sometimes you need to be mad, sometimes you need an ennemy Actually, you cannot control everything, you need to accept it Being happy, it's like the rest, you need to learn how to be first I know, you go to sleep thinking "I'll do it tomorrow" And you wake up thinking "I'll do it tomorrow" My friend [Pre-Chorus] Let me tell you some stupid things before you do one The problem with life is that there's only one We will never cure depression like a cold But tell yourself that you can count on me while it lasts Allergic to life, mornings are dark When everything has a taste of déjà vu The nights are dead, everyone has abandoned you, even the moon But maybe the end of the desert is behind each dune [Chorus] Everything will be alright, it won't, I know you know Sometimes I won't know what to say, but I can always listen Everything will not change, well, except if you do it When you got the desert to cross, there's nothing to do except to move on Nothing to do except to move on We'll laugh about it when we see it in a brighter day Brighter day, brighter day We'll laugh about it when we see it in a brighter day Brighter day, brighter day, brighter day
As a french viewer I'm really glad that you've done this song, because it touched me really deep and in a other way I learned through your misunderstanding some "way to translate" correctly and it helps a lot
4:40 I think a better translation to this line would be "the end of the desert might hide behind the next dune". Basically saying no matter how hard your life is you must carry on at all cost because one day this will end, could be tomorrow, could be in a week, a month, a year...
Great vid as always ! It's funny you said you feel stuck, because it's actually a song from the Casseurs Flowters (Orelsan and Gringe), that pretty much describes their life in their early 20s :p It's called Bloqué in French. But yeah, that's the thing with Orelsan, his lyrics are relatable And yeah, he used to rollerskate when he was younger (maybe he still does, idk), so it's really him :p
I like your reaction because you are very authentic. This song echo in me too. Procrastination is the term to describe the fact of pushing back to the next day (🤓😎) . When I have something to do, I must especially not sit on the sofa watching TV or my phone otherwise it's over, I do not come off. In generaly i am always waiting the last minute to do. Sometime with energy, sometime slumped.... It's ok. we don't have to be always on top. But when i'ts very bad mood, always tell i m not alone. + listen bob marley song--> tree little birds (this song is magic for peace of soul☀️)
"Let me tell you some stupid things before you do one" was probably the only thing I needed to ear before I do some dumb things. I think the album came out just in time to save my life, so I just love it and especially this song ! I'm glad Orelsan made a clip for this song, and I'm happy you did a reaction to it ! Thank you, and good luck, I hope you'll be out of your vicious circle as soon as possible !
Cool reaction as always! As for the part where you mention your current life, it's strange how we can think we are alone in this situation but it's very relatable indeed , when you have only yourself to think about, things don't always get easier , Orelsan didn't have the perfect path. Part of why he's so liked initially is because people could see that he struggled like a normal guy in his bedroom and had unproductive activities. We tend to compare ourselves so much these days, but the success of others has nothing to do with us, every one of us can find their own way and we have our own clock.
I randomly decided to listen to this song for the first time in the middle of a suicidal crisis. Didn't know shit about it, never heard it before. It probably saved my life
It's a great line, too bad he kinda messed it up He meant "But the end of the desert may hide behind each dune" whick I think would make more sense to you.
Good luck getting out of that slump! I find that setting some extremely achievable goals (like "drink a cup of tea every morning" or "read 10 minutes before bed") helps a lot to get back on track. So the goal I suggest you to achieve is "react to Casseurs Flowters Infinity". It's for your own good 👍
You have to know that he wrote this song 20 years ago, and that the video of him singing the song when he was young is a real one, you can check it on his twitter !
Just to let you know Vald drop something today it's 12 min vidéo so idk if you'll be able to react to it but it's anouncing his new album with some of this music the visual are great and the beat is amazing !
