Derniers Humains Lyrics in English Christophe Mali , Lucie Lebrun

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Derniers Humains by Christophe Mali from French to English.
The big concrete blocks
will turn back to sand
The sky will open onto an ideal
Satellites, metal angels
will send words of love
We'll think that's normal
From iron trees, we'll make flowers
We'll put heart
to open your hearts
Since we've got free rein
The horizon, the future
And since the sky
starts at our feet
And to write in this book
From the first line
Chapter one, humanity
Chapter two, humanity
Chapter three, humanity
We're the last humans
on this earth
The world's in our arms
It's just you and me left
Imagine all we could do
by moving the ruins
as we picture it
The last humans on this earth
The world's in our arms
It's just you and me left
Imagine all we could do
by moving the ruins
as we picture it
On the first day
A glimmer in our eyes
We'll bite the apple
We're the new gods
New tenants
Will we do better
Of water, of earth
Of air and fire
Tears of war
dried in the sun
Places without borders
Castles of salt
On the seventh day
Adam and Eve
We'll make love, my love
We're the last humans
on this earth
The world's in our arms
It's just you and me left
Imagine all we could do
by moving the ruins
as we picture it
The last humans on this earth
The world's in our arms
It's just you and me left
Imagine all we could do
by moving the ruins
as we picture it
Will we do better
Will we love each other
without sowing hate
I don't know
what's in your heart
Beauty for the best
Will that be enough
I don't know
We're the last humans
on this earth
The world's in our arms
It's just you and me left
Imagine all we could do
by moving the ruins
as we picture it
The last humans on this earth
The world's in our arms
It's just you and me left
Imagine all we could do
by moving the ruins
as we picture it
We're the last humans
on this earth
The world's in our arms
It's just you and me left
Imagine all we could do
by moving the ruins
as we picture it
We're the last humans
on this earth

SONG MEANING

Imagine you wake up after the end of the world and discover you and your soulmate are the only ones left. That is the thrilling starting point of Derniers Humains (Last Humans) by French singer-songwriter Christophe Mali with guest vocalist Lucie Lebrun. The lyrics paint a poetic sci-fi scene where crumbling concrete towers return to sand, steel trees bloom into flowers, and metal satellites whisper love. Standing on this blank canvas, the couple feel both tiny and powerful: they can rebuild the planet any way they like, write a brand-new “Chapter One, Humanity,” and maybe—just maybe—get it right this time.

Yet the song is not just a utopian daydream. While the pulsing beat urges us to “imagine all we could do,” the singers softly question whether humans can truly learn from past mistakes. Will love be enough? Can we create a world without borders, hate, or war? Derniers Humains is a hopeful yet humble anthem inviting listeners to picture a fresh start, celebrate the limitless creativity of humankind, and remember that every day gives us the choice to build something better together.
