Les Sommets De Nos Vies Lyrics in English Corneille

Les Sommets De Nos Vies is Corneille’s joyful reminder that the highest peaks in life often appear where we least expect them. The song opens with the singer looking back at the moment he left home, convinced he held a one-way ticket. Each “Si j’avais su” (If I had known) reveals another surprise: finding a new family in Paris, discovering that exile can lead to the greatest love, and realising that parenthood rearranges time itself. Over a soaring chorus he celebrates these unforeseen gifts, turning personal memories into a universal anthem.

In the bridge Corneille widens the lens, linking his private victories to world-changing moments: springtime uprisings in North Africa, Mandela’s presidency, Michael Jackson’s white glove, even the dream of returning to Kigali. By placing historic firsts next to the “first time with the love of your life,” he shows that every breakthrough – public or intimate – is a summit worth singing about. The result is an uplifting celebration of resilience, gratitude and the breathtaking view that awaits when we brave the climb.
