Alors On Danse
Stromae feat. 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 ya’ll
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 Perignon
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
Its 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 nitroglis
Gone gone like a light so trick
I am on some psycho shit
Dance floor 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 'til I can’t remember
Feeling hot summer nights in the winter
I’mma 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)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Stromae feat. Kanye West & Gilbere Forte's song Alors On Danse are full of different topics and emotions, but the main idea is related to dancing. The song invites people to throw their hands in the sky right now and lose themselves in the rhythm of the music. It also speaks about the stress of life and how dancing can be seen as a way to forget about it. The lyrics mention that the life of a superstar might seem glamorous, with expensive champagne and fancy meals, but it's not all sunshine and roses. The verses also touch on the themes of money, success, and materialism.


The song switches from French to English, with both verses complementing each other. The French verses describe dancing and singing until the morning, while the English ones talk about a lavish lifestyle that is not necessarily fulfilling. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Alors on danse," which translates to "So we dance" in English. It's a call to everyone to let go of their worries and enjoy the moment.


Overall, "Alors On Danse" is a club banger that aims to create a moment of escapism and remind the listener that sometimes all you need is to dance.

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

yes,  it is correct  .... but this is better sound

@reign3864

No it's not.
