On A Mangé Le Soleil Lyrics in English Céphaz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song On A Mangé Le Soleil by Céphaz from French to English.
Intro
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
I bought myself a dog, it keeps me warm in winter
I bought myself a jacket, like last year
I finished my plate, I'm not alone on Earth
And I have a phone that makes light
We ate the Sun
We ate the stars
We ate the sky
And we're still starving, so we'll eat the Moon
Quarter after quarter, 'cause after all we can feed on hope
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
I bought myself another dog, like last year
My jacket's out of style, I'm leaving it to Abbé Pierre
I ate my plate, I set the table again
I tasted the future, it tastes bitter
We ate the Sun
We ate the stars
We ate the sky
And we're still starving, so we'll eat the Moon
Quarter after quarter, 'cause after all we can feed on hope
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
I bit into life, swallowed the seeds
I devoured boredom but I'm still hungry
I licked the sidewalks, hunger till the end
I wanted to stop but I ate my hands
We ate the Sun
We ate the stars
We ate the sky
And we're still starving, so we'll eat the Moon
Quarter after quarter, 'cause after all we can feed on hope
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
We ate the Sun
We ate the stars
We ate the sky
And we're still starving, so we'll eat the Moon
Quarter after quarter, 'cause after all we can feed on hope
Feed on hope

SONG MEANING

Céphaz serves up a cosmic buffet in “On A Mangé Le Soleil,” a playful yet thought-provoking track about our endless appetite for ‘more.’ The lyrics describe buying dogs and jackets, polishing off plates, then boldly “eating” the Sun, stars, and sky. Each swallowed celestial body is a vivid metaphor for how modern life keeps pushing us to consume possessions, experiences, even the future itself, without ever feeling full.

Despite this ravenous imagery, the chorus slips in a sparkle of optimism: “quarter by quarter, after all, we can feed on hope.” Céphaz reminds us that while greed can feel bottomless, we also have the power to nourish ourselves with simpler, brighter things like solidarity, generosity, and dreams. It is a catchy invitation to question what truly satisfies us—and maybe leave a little light in the sky for tomorrow.
