Ma Lumière Lyrics in English Amir

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ma Lumière by Amir from French to English.
I'm telling you
You don't believe me, but I'm telling you
I can turn your planet into a f*cking paradise
Finally I tell myself life's beautiful
Before it was just pretty
I still can't get over this new world
Since you're here, I know myself
And I tell myself
I don't believe it but I tell myself
It's not outside but in your arms that I want to spend the night
I got up before the alarm
Even though I haven't slept for two weeks
I look like nothing but I've got everything
If you breathe wrong, I choke
But no, but no, but no
I won't move
Even when you've grown up
I'll stand there between you and the rain
They told me you'll see, you'll see
I just smiled
I didn't see you coming
What to do
I can't take my eyes off you
No no no
Doing all those things that can't be taught
The way you just called me, am I dreaming or what
Did I hear wrong
It's already time to turn off the light
But I can't take my eyes off you
No no no
You're so little but I fit between your fingers
I've been here for a while, stammering
You probably didn't get a thing
But nothing will ever put out my light again
Screams
Sure there'll be screams
You'll put me in states we can't even describe
And then I'll melt like snow
In the sun of your smiles
Kid, don't think you're Hercules too soon
Your meal's on my sweater
The one who'll take you away hasn't been born yet
I could do crazy things
I could face a thousand men
The wind, the rain
The only question that comes when I see you
How did I hold on all that time without your smile
What to do
I can't take my eyes off you
No no no
Doing all those things that can't be taught
The way you just called me, am I dreaming or what
Did I hear wrong
It's already time to turn off the light
But I can't take my eyes off you
No no no
You're so little but I fit between your fingers
I've been here for a while, stammering
You probably didn't get a thing
But nothing will ever put out my light again
My light

SONG MEANING

Ma Lumière is a heartfelt love letter from a brand-new father to the tiny miracle cradled in his arms. From the very first lines, Amir marvels at how this baby has turned an ordinary world into “a paradise”, making life not just beautiful but dazzling. He admits he can’t stop staring, he forgets to sleep, and he would gladly stand “between you and the rain.” In every breathless confession you hear the awe of someone who has just discovered a brighter, gentler universe—one that now revolves around a single, fragile beam of light.

Throughout the song the singer promises fierce protection, playful devotion, and endless wonder. He laughs at diaper messes on his shirt, imagines future scrapes and squabbles, yet insists that “nothing will ever dim my light.” The repeated line “Je ne peux défaire mon regard de toi” (I can’t take my eyes off you) echoes the irresistible pull of a parent’s gaze, while the closing declaration “Ma lumière” seals the baby’s role as his guiding star. In short, the track captures the magic shock of first-time parenthood: sleepless nights, unstoppable smiles, and a love so luminous it can outshine any darkness.
