“Seule” paints a vivid journey from darkness to light. At the start, Cloetim remembers feeling lost, broken, and abandoned, as if the world had turned its back on her. Each j'étais seule (“I was alone”) line drops us into that isolation, only to be answered by the sudden appearance of a caring presence who relève (lifts her up) and aime (loves her). Whether you hear this rescuer as a close friend, a soulmate, or a divine force, the message is clear: genuine love has the power to pull us out of despair.
The chorus flips the mood from past to present. Cloetim admits that loneliness still sneaks in — Parfois je me sens seule (“Sometimes I feel alone”) — yet she instantly reassures herself: et pourtant tu es là (“and yet you are here”). The repetition feels like a comforting mantra, reminding listeners that feeling alone and actually being alone are two different things. In just a few minutes, the song travels from hopeless isolation to hopeful connection, turning a personal confession into a universal anthem of resilience, faith, and gratitude. Dive in with your headphones and let Cloetim’s French lyrics teach your ears new words while her story reminds your heart that you’re never truly on your own.
