{Refrain:}Ne brisez pas mes rêvesAvant que la nuit s'achèveCeux qui disent que l'amour est mortJe leur prouverai qu'ils ont tors.Rendez moi mes rêvesAvant que la vie s'achèveCeux qui disent que l'amour est mortJe leur prouverai qu'ils ont tort.Je marche, près de toiT'accompagne, a ton brasJe me pare d'une robeEt tu me dérobe a tous les regardsComme sur sur ses vieilles photosJaunis par le tempsFusil à l'épaule et moi chantantChemin faisant comme les couples d'antan.{au Refrain}La belle epoque des vraies valeursOu les choses du cœurRestaient sans equivoqueOu la pudeur etait essentielle!Mais l'amour a notre heure n'est que substentielLes gens qui disent que l'amour n'est plusNe sont que des deçusC'est un detail, alors prend ma tailleFais moi danser j'ai le cœur leger.{au Refrain}Emmenez moi loin des villesLoin du bruitLa ou tout est plus paisibleLoin d'ici.{au Refrain}Comme ils ont tort, comme ils ont tort, comme ils ont tort...{Ad libitum}

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wallen's song Mes Rêves speaks of his desire to hold onto his dreams and prove to those who believe love has died, that they are wrong. The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, translates to "Don't break my dreams before the night ends. Those who say love is dead, I'll prove them wrong. Give me back my dreams before life ends, those who say love is dead, I'll prove them wrong."

Wallen sings of walking with someone close to him, he is dressed in a fancy gown and his companion guards him from prying eyes. He compares their relationship to the couples of old where the heart and modesty were essential in love. He acknowledges the modern world's perception of love as fleeting and insignificant, but he disagrees. He believes that those who say love is dead are the ones who have been let down by their own love stories. He encourages his companion to take his hand and dance, to forget the noise of the city and find peace and tranquility in each other.

The song is a poignant reminder that dreams and love are worth protecting and fighting for. Wallen reminds his listeners that they should not let the cynics of the world tell them that love is dead or that their dreams are not worth pursuing. His use of simple and straightforward language highlights the universal appeal of this song, which speaks to anyone who has ever believed in love and fighting for their dreams.
