(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
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)
The song Alors On Danse by Belgian artist Stromae is about the difficulties of life and how music can help people escape their problems. The phrase "alors on danse" translates to "so let's dance" and is repeated throughout the song. The song begins with the lyrics "Throw your hands in the sky right now, 'cause it's going down", urging listeners to let go of their problems and enjoy the moment.
The second verse is about how the artist is confident in his abilities despite criticisms from others. He talks about living a luxurious lifestyle with expensive food and drink, but also acknowledges that he wears sunglasses to hide his emotions. The chorus "alors on danse" repeats four times, driving home the message that dancing can be a way to escape the stresses of life.
The third verse begins with "flashing lights, the stress of life, it's way too much to handle in one night". The singer speaks about how life can be overwhelming and the need to live in the moment. He mentions waking up with a Russian model in Paris, which adds to the luxurious imagery of the song. The chorus repeats four times again.
The final verse is about how music can touch people emotionally and provide a way to cope with problems. The singer admits that sometimes life is difficult and people want it to end, but music can offer hope and relief. The song ends with the line "and it's your body, not the sky, so you stop blocking your ears and scream even louder. And it persists, so we sing".
Overall, Alors On Danse is a song about the power of music to help people escape their problems, at least temporarily. It encourages listeners to dance and live in the moment, and acknowledges that life can be hard, but music can be a source of comfort.

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

Who says study (education) says work (having a job)
Who says job says [you have] the cash
Who says money says expenses
Who says credit says you owe
Who says debt says bailiff
And he says you are in deep shit.
Who says Love says the kids
Who says forever says divorce
Who says loved ones says mourning because no problem comes alone
Who says crisis tells you [about the] world (people, crowd), says famine says third-world
Who says being tired says wake-up still deaf of the night before
So we go out to forget all the problems
So we dance...(X9)
And here you say to yourself it's over because worse than that means death.
When you finally think you're out of it
When it's over, there is more
Is it [more] 'sic or [more] problems?
Problems or music?
It tears your guts out, it does your head in
And you pray for it to end
But it's your body
Its not heaven
So you cover your ears
And you scream even louder
And it does not go away
So we sing
lalalaa...
So we sing
lalalaa...
So we sing (x2)
And only when it is over... then we dance
So we dance...(x7)
Well, and there is more(x5)

Qui dit étude dit travail
Qui dit taf te dit les thunes
Qui dit argent dit dépenses
Et qui dit crédit dit créance
Qui dit dette te dit huissier
Et lui dit assis dans la merde
Qui dit amour dit les gosses
Dit toujours et dit divorce
Qui dit proches te dit deuils
Car les problèmes ne viennent pas seuls
Qui dit crise te dit monde
Dit famine, dit tiers-monde
Et qui dit fatigue dit réveil
Encore sourd de la veille
Alors on sort pour oublier tous les problèmes
Alors on danse

This guy is a total genius. This is a song about how hard and troublesome life is, and it's still a song that is played in clubs as a happy song, while the ones who dance to it are exactly the ones the song is about, depressed people troubled by problems, who need to dance a bit to forget about it.
@elyone974
Bro u made me cry
@marcusdesai506
Isn't that the club experience though? A bunch of people, high on collective euphoria (and possibly other stuff) dancing to enjoy the moment and forget their lives.
@Imran-zb7xm
@@marcusdesai506 You think that's doing you a favor, it's not. You need to do something about your problems and wake up
@irmalair1
Totally 💯💯💯

To be fair only French speakers understand the lyrics obviously. But I guess that’s the beauty of the song, everyone focuses on the perfectly written melody.
@user-xc6kt8fo6n
I took 4 years of French in high school and i am so proud of that i understand the word 'danse'
@furiousgamer4102
What about the rest of lyrics
@FlowerTower
LMFOAMKLA, MOOD!! I started learning French on duolingo, though, and I actually understand SOMETHING (I'm still trash, though)
@magdalenazabaryla8734
Same, without french I don't know what I would be writing down
