Alors On Danse
Kanye West & Gilbere Forte Lyrics

Alors on d
The repeated phrase sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the idea of letting go amidst life's struggles and dancing through it all.

Qui dit étude dit travail,
When you think of studying, you think of working. One thing leads to another, and the work you do isn't free.

Qui dit taf te dit les thunes,
Work brings money, and money is needed to live.

Qui dit argent dit dépenses,
With money comes expenses, and it's important to manage finances well.

Qui dit crédit dit créance,
Credit allows you to borrow, but there is a price to pay with interest and debt.

Qui dit dette te dit huissier,
Debt can become a burden and can lead to legal consequences.

Et lui dit assis dans la merde.
It's a tough place to be when problems pile up and you feel stuck in a bad situation.

Qui dit Amour dit les gosses,
Love can lead to having children and a family.

Dit toujours et dit divorce.
But sometimes love doesn't last, and marriages end in divorce.

Qui dit proches te dis deuils car les problèmes ne viennent pas seul.
Problems don't come alone, and they can often lead to grief and loss of loved ones.

Qui dit crise te dis monde dit famine dit tiers-monde.
Economic crises and global issues can lead to poverty and hunger in third-world countries.

Qui dit fatigue dit réveille encore sourd de la veille,
Feeling tired can lead to sleepless nights and waking up still feeling exhausted.

Alors on sort pour oublier tous les problèmes.
In order to forget our problems, we tend to go out and have fun.

Et la tu te dis que c’est fini car pire que ça ce serait la mort
When things get really bad, it can feel like death would be preferable.

Qu’en tu crois enfin que tu t’en sors quand y en a plus et ben y en a encore
Just when we think we've overcome our troubles, new ones arise.

Est-ce la zik ou les problèmes, les problèmes ou bien la musique
We might wonder whether our problems are caused by or relieved by music.

Ça te prends les trips ça te prends la tête et puis tu prie pour que ça s’arrête
Sometimes, music can be overwhelming or cause us stress, and we hope it will end soon.

Mais c’est ton corps c’est pas le ciel alors tu te bouche plus les oreilles
But we are in control of our bodies, not the sky, so we can't just ignore our problems.

Et là tu cries encore plus fort et ça persiste
Crying might not make the problems go away, and they keep persisting.

Alors on chante
Sometimes, singing or expression through music can be a source of relief amidst our problems.

Lalalalalala, lalalalalala,
The song's chorus emphasizes the idea of letting go and dancing through the struggles, using simple sounds that anyone can sing along to.

Et puis seulement quand c'est fini, alors on danse
Only when our problems are finally resolved can we fully enjoy and dance through life.

Et ben y en a encore
But the problems don't just end there; there will always be more challenges to overcome.
