Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ce Monde-l'a by Patrick Bruel from French to English.

There's those who cry and those who pray

And those who talk a bit too loud

There's those who take cover

Even if there's no rain outside

There's those who die of love too

And those who didn't make any effort

There's those who say it's over

And those who still want to believe

There's those who look at the sky

And those who think they're happy

Those who think everything's the same

And those who play with fire

Those who talk in their sleep

Those who couldn't say goodbye

Those who long for sunshine

And all those who close their eyes

And there's you, there's me

There's the two of us in that world

The two of us like people just passing by

In those thousands of waves on the surface

There's those who've rebuilt their life

Those who've unpacked their bags

Those who fall for the homeland

And those who haven't been good

There's those who dream their symphony

Those who close the picture books

Those who don't want anything anymore

Those who hide their face

There's those who howl with the wolves

And those who'd have so much to say

Those who live only on their knees

Those who'd give everything to run away

There's those who look for themselves everywhere

Those who've lost their smile

There's those who stand tall

And those who've done nothing but lie

And there's you, there's me

There's the two of us in that world

The two of us like people just passing by

Like those thousands of waves on the surface

And there's you, there's me

There's the two of us in that world

The two of us in the middle of the crowd

Wrapped together like a coiling snake

There's those who give up everything

And those who dream of travel

Those who have ideas about everything

Those who hear the messages

There's those who're half-crazy

Who don't even see the bends anymore

There's those who have nothing at all left

And those who want more

And there's you, there's me

There's the two of us in that world

The two of us like people just passing by

Like those thousands of waves on the surface

And there's you, there's me

There's the two of us in that world

The two of us in the middle of the crowd

Wrapped together like a coiling snake

And there's you, there's me

There's the two of us in that world

The two of us together for life

Like all those millions of lovers too

And there's you

Me in that world

SONG MEANING

Welcome to Patrick Bruel’s bustling human carnival! In “Ce Monde-là,” the French singer strolls through a never-ending parade of characters: les rêveurs, les prudents, les casse-cou, ceux qui aiment trop et ceux qui n’aiment plus. Every two lines, he flips the spotlight to a brand-new set of hopes, fears, and contradictions, sketching a fast-moving collage of what it means to be alive. It feels like peeking into thousands of tiny windows, each revealing a different story, yet all humming the same universal tune of longing, doubt, and desire.

Amid that whirlwind of faces, Bruel suddenly zooms in on a single frame: “y a toi, y a moi… nous deux dans ce monde-là.” Against the clamor of the crowd, the song celebrates the quiet miracle of finding your person and holding on tight, like two surfers riding the same wave in a restless ocean. The message is simple but uplifting: even when the world is noisy, messy, or unsure, love carves out a private refuge where two hearts can stand tall together. Bruel’s lyrics remind learners that language—and music—can turn the vast swirl of humanity into a personal love story, one shared heartbeat at a time.
