(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 Stromae and Kanye West is a high energy dance track that explores themes of escapism from the stress of life. The opening lines invite the listener to throw their hands up in the air and get lost in the music as if there is no tomorrow. The lyrics describe living life to the fullest, indulging in luxury items like Dom Pérignon and filet mignon, and frequenting exclusive nightclubs like the one referenced in the song called Titanic.
The repetition of the title phrase "Alors on danse" (which translates to "So we dance" in English) throughout the song serves as a reminder that dancing can be a form of release from the struggles of daily life. However, the lyrics take a darker turn towards the end, suggesting that sometimes even dancing and music can't fully drown out the weight of one's problems. The lines "And then you tell yourself it's over / 'Cause worse than that would be death / When finally you think you got out / But there's more there than before" express the inescapability of difficult issues.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was originally written and performed solely by Stromae in French, before being remixed by Kanye West with new verses in English. Additionally, the music video for the song, directed by the Belgian filmmaker Yoann Lemoine, has been viewed over 400 million times on YouTube. The song was a commercial success in many countries, including Belgium, France, and the UK, and was the number one song on the European Hot 100 chart in 2010. Another interesting fact is that the song has been covered by numerous artists, including Pentatonix and Pitbull.

Throw your hands in the sky right now
Get ready to party and raise the roof
(Alors on)
Let's go!
(Alors on)
Let's get down
Throw your hands in the sky right now
Get ready to party and raise the roof
'Cause it's going down
Get hyped because this is gonna be epic
Unfortunately for the rest of y'all
I'm way better than everyone else
I'm way better than the best of all
I truly am the master of the craft
And even though they focus on just the flaws
Critics try to find fault, but it won't matter
This still gonna annihilate the festivals
My music will be a hit even at huge music festivals
And we still gon' sip the Dom Pérignon
We will celebrate with the finest drinks
And still gon' eat the filet mignon, ain't it
And dine on the best food
Yeah, yeah, yeah I've been known
I'm famous for my music
To cover up my eyes with the Ray-Beons
I like to wear Ray-Ban sunglasses

Enjoying the good life in Paris with a beautiful woman

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