Alors On Danse
Stromae Ft. Kanye West & Gilbere Forte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Throw your hands in the sky right now
(Alors on danse)
(Alors on d)
Throw your hands in the sky right now
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
They still gonna annihilate the festivals
And we still gonna sip Dom Pérignon
And still gonna eat the filet mignon
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 d (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 your 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
Lalalalalala, lalalalalala
Alors on chante
Lalalalalala, lalalalalala
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

Roll call in the club
Life's a bitch feel her up
She be in my mind like a microchip
I'm ready to blow like nitro-glyc
Gone gone like a light so trick
I am on some psycho shit
Dancefloor every night, my bliss
Fed up with the rub don't bite your lip
Bon T.R.S. and pure gold
Max this out in Euros
Bartender fill it up till I can't remember
Feeling hot summer nights in the winter
I'ma better my life till we all sit up
Since we are here we are live
Ye and I make you touch the sky

Lalalalalala, lalalalalala
Alors on chante
Lalalalalala, lalalalalala
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
(It's goin' down)

Hearing this remix feels like a real throwback - it's like, oh yes, the good old days drunkenly throwing my hands up in a club.  Days long past.  But hearing Stromae's original?  Never gets old.  There's actual emotional depth in his voice and the lyrics.

@nerfthebush7596

ft Stromae? wasn't Stromae the one that made the song?

@CHRISSSW1280

yes

@marielamurias1235

@reign3864
