Le Train Du Soir Lyrics in English Raphaël , Pomme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Train Du Soir by Raphaël from French to English.
I don't know what I'll do
When I see you
I don't know what I'll do
But I won't cry
I don't know what I'll do
When I see you
I don't know what I'll do
But I won't cry
But I won't cry
The night train races toward you
Races toward you
Wind in my hair
And the clatter of the axles
Memories that are on fire
The night train races toward you
Behind the mountains
The last ferry, to paradise
The company of coral soldiers
Who drink, who sing and who derail
Who derail, who derail, who derail
I don't know what I'll do
When I see you
I don't know what I'll do
But I won't cry
I don't know what I'll do
When I see you
I don't know what I'll do
But I won't cry
But I won't cry
The night train races toward you
Without direction without a driver
Behind the engine
I hear your heart beating
The last ferry, to paradise
The sea recedes tonight
I don't know what I'll do
When I see you
I don't know what I'll do
But I won't cry
I don't know what I'll do
When I see you
I don't know what I'll do
But I won't cry
But I won't cry
But I won't cry
But I won't cry
But I won't cry
But I won't cry

SONG MEANING

Hop on the “Evening Train” and feel the rush! Raphaël’s duet with Pomme paints the picture of a night journey racing past mountains and memories, its wheels clattering like a restless heart. The singer is speeding toward a long-awaited reunion, repeating a nervous mantra: “I don’t know what I’ll do when I see you, but I won’t cry.” As wind whips through hair and sparks of nostalgia light up the dark, the train becomes a moving confessional where excitement, fear, and hope all share the same seat.

Beneath the catchy melody lies a deeper message about facing the unknown. The chaotic “soldiers of coral” who drink, sing, and derail stand for unruly thoughts that threaten to pull us off track, while the “last ferry to paradise” hints at a once-in-a-lifetime chance for closure or rebirth. In the end, Le Train Du Soir celebrates steady resolve: no matter how uncertain the destination, courage is staying on the ride, keeping tears at bay, and letting the rhythm of the rails carry you toward whatever tomorrow brings.
