Alors On Danse
Stromae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Throw your hands in the sky right now
(Alors on)
(Alors on)
Throw your hands in the sky right now
'Cause it's going down

Unfortunately for the rest of y'all
I'm way better than the best of all
And even though they focus on just the flaws
This still gonna annihilate the festivals
And we still gon' sip the Dom Pérignon
And still gon' eat the filet mignon, ain't it
Yeah, yeah, yeah I've been known
To cover up my eyes with the Ray-Beons

Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on (Throw your hands in the sky right now)
Alors on

Flashing lights, the stress of life
It's way too much to handle in one night
Live this life like there's no tomorrow
Wake up in Paris with a Russian model
Throw your hands in the sky
If anybody got five dollars in they pocket right now
I call this club Titanic
Why? 'Cause it's going down

Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse

Alors on chante
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Alors on chante
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Alors on chante (Throw your hands in the sky right now)
Alors on chante (Throw your hands in the sky right now)
Et puis seulement quand c'est fini
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse

Et là, tu t'dis que c'est fini
Car pire que ça, ce serait la mort
Quand tu crois enfin qu'tu t'en sors
Quand y en a plus et ben y en a encore
Est-ce la zik ou les problèmes?
Les problèmes ou bien la musique?
Ça t'prend les tripes, ça te prend la tête
Et puis tu pries pour que ça s'arrête
Mais c'est ton corps, c'est pas le ciel
Alors tu t'bouches plus les oreilles
Et là tu cries encore plus fort
Et ça persiste, alors on chante

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Alors on chante
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Alors on chante

Alors on chante
Et puis seulement quand c'est fini

Alors on danse (Throw your hands in the sky right now)
Alors on danse
Alors on danse (Throw your hands in the sky right now)
Alors on danse ('Cause it's going down)

Line by Line Meaning

Throw your hands in the sky right now
Raise your hands up in the air to show excitement and enthusiasm


Alors on danse
Then we dance


And even though they focus on just the flaws
Even though others point out my mistakes


This still gonna annihilate the festivals
My music will still be popular and successful at festivals


And we still gon' sip the Dom Pérignon
We will still drink expensive and high-quality champagne


And still gon' eat the filet mignon, ain't it
We will still eat high-quality and expensive food


Flashing lights, the stress of life
The anxiety and pressure of daily life are overwhelming and intense


Wake up in Paris with a Russian model
Living a lavish and extravagant lifestyle; waking up in a foreign land with a beautiful woman


If anybody got five dollars in they pocket right now
Asking if anyone has a small amount of cash on them


I call this club Titanic, Why? 'Cause it's going down
The club is destined for failure and destruction, similar to the Titanic shipwreck


Alors on chante
Then we sing


Est-ce la zik ou les problèmes?
Is it the music or the problems causing this feeling?


Les problèmes ou bien la musique?
Are the problems because of the music or is the music helping to cope with the problems?


Ça t'prend les tripes, ça te prend la tête
It affects you emotionally and mentally


Et puis tu pries pour que ça s'arrête
And then you pray for it to stop


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


Et là tu cries encore plus fort
And then you shout even louder


Et ça persiste, alors on chante
And it persists, so we keep singing


Et puis seulement quand c'est fini
And only when it's over
