Alors on danse

i totally agree! this song is awesome!! it keeps me awake and makes me wanna move :p

i also tried to translate it and i think i've got it although i'm not quite sure of some things xD

So/Then we d… (x3)

Who says study says work Who says work says you money Who says money says expenses Who says credit says claim Who says debt says you bailiff Who says sit in the sh*t Who says love says kids Say always and say divorce Who says (be)loved ones says you mourning cuz problems never come alone Who says crisis says you world says famine says third-world Who says tiredness says wake up while still deaf from last night So/Then we go out to forget all problems So/Then we dance… (x9) And there you tell yourself that it's over cuz worse than this would be death When you think in the end that you're leaving when there's more and there is more Ecstasy says problem problems or else music That makes you trip that grabs you by the head and then you pray for it to stop But it's your body it's not heaven so you cover your ears more and here you scream even harder and it persists So we sing Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala, So we sing Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala

So we sing (x2) And then only when it's finished, then we dance So we dance (x7) and there is more

I think these are the correct lyrics (with translation underneath). Corrections welcome!

Alors on d… (x3) So we d…

Qui dit étude dit travail Who says study says work

Qui dit taf te dit les thunes Who says work says to you cash

Qui dit argent dit dépenses Who says money says expenses

Qui dit crédit dit créance Who says credit says debt

Qui dit dette te dit huissier Who says debt says bailiff

Et lui dit assis dans la merde And says to himself sitting in the shit

Qui dit Amour dit les gosses Who says love says kids

Dit toujours et dit divorce Says always and says divorce

Qui dit proches te dit deuils Who says loved ones says to you grief

Car les problèmes ne viennent pas seuls Because problems don’t come alone

Qui dit crise te dit monde Who says crisis says to you world

Dit famine et dit tiers-monde Says famine and says third world

Qui dit fatigue dit reveille Who says fatigue says wake up

Encore sourd de la veille Still deaf from the day before

Alors on sort pour oublier tous les problèmes So we go out to forget all our problems

Alors on danse (x9) So we dance

Et là tu te dis que c'est fini And there you tell yourself it’s over

Car pire que ça ce serait la mort Because worse, that would be death

Quand tu crois enfin que tu t'en sors When you believe it’s finally over, you leave it

Quand y en a plus et ben y en a encore When there is more of it and, well, more still

Est-ce la zik ou les problèmes, les problèmes ou bien la musique Is it music or problems, problems or, well, music

Ça te prend les trips It takes you on trips (as in drugs)

Ça te prend la tête It takes you by the head

Et puis tu pries pour que ça s'arrête And then you pray that it stops

Mais c'est ton corps, c'est pas le ciel But it’s your body, it’s not heaven

Alors tu te bouches plus les oreilles So you push your fingers even more in your ears

Et là tu cries encore plus fort, mais ça persiste And there you shout still louder, but it carries on

Alors on chante So we sing

Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala

Alors on chante So we sing

Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala

Alors on chante (x2) So we sing

Et puis seulement quand c'est fini And then only when it’s finished

Alors on danse (x7) Then we dance

Et ben y en a encore (x5) And well, there is still more of it

unbelievable noone commented. even though not really my style, but this one's great.

Another great song from Stromae! Couldn't miss this song on the European radio this year..!

It sounds more like "lui dit ainsi dans la merde" and "ecstasy communique", although I'm not even sure if it's ecstasy.

Could be wrong, French isn't my first language.

great song. i was looking for it lol typed in "i love dance french song" into google and found it on youtube thanks to the person who titled it 'i love dance french song (stromae - alors on danse)' thank you person :) gotta love french even if i dont understand what he's saying. thank you for typing upthe lyric as well :)
