Die at the clear dawn
Die without disappointing
At the time when people get up
And rush on the sidewalks
Die in the countryside
Without realizing it
Filled with good champagne
Die without blaming myself
Die
Alright
But peacefully
Die
But as late as
Possible
Die in silence
Die after everyone else
Without the slightest suffering
Die in a second
Die a natural death
Gather at the funeral
The parents, the children
The children's children
Having defeated fate
Die at the right moment
Die
Alright
But weary
Die
First, from having lived enough
Die
Alright
But weary
Die
From having lived enough
Die without seeming to
Die under the stars
While looking at the seas
The wind in the sails
Die with a smile
At the end of the day
End by dozing off
Forever
Die
Alright
But peacefully
Die
But as late as
Possible
Die
Alright
But weary
Die
First, from having lived enough
Die
Yes alright
Yes alright
But peacefully
Die
But as late as
Possible

SONG MEANING

Tim Dup and fellow French storyteller Ben Mazué tackle the one subject everyone tiptoes around – death – and somehow make it feel like a warm toast to life. Their duet is a poetic wish list of the perfect farewell: dawn’s first light, countryside calm, champagne fizzing, and a gentle smile before drifting off. The line they repeat like a mantra, “Mourir, d’accord, mais tranquille… mais le plus tard possible” (To die, alright, but peacefully… as late as possible), turns fear into playful acceptance and reminds us that the real focus is how vibrantly we live before that moment comes.

Listen closely and you will see the scene they dream up:

  • no pain, just one swift second
  • after everyone else, so nobody’s heart breaks too soon
  • family, children, and grandchildren gathered in gratitude
  • eyes on the sea, sails full, stars above, bubbles of champagne below

By mapping out such a serene exit, the song slips us a bigger message: fill today with enough adventures, love, and laughter that when the end finally arrives you will feel simply “lassé” – pleasantly tired – because you have already lived enough.
