Je Te Laisse Lyrics in English Tim Dup

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Te Laisse by Tim Dup from French to English.

It will be easier to believe in nonsense

And to break the world

To give in to the grip

You will be told things

About souls and men

Don't be afraid of smiles

And then bite the apple

Pick up happiness

Get drunk on prohibitions

But respect the flowers

The beings and life

It will take years

To find your place

But whoever you are, love around, love yourself

I leave you a tomorrow in rain and storms

Sorry, my love, for this poor legacy

But it's up to you to turn it into an ocean

Where we love, where we swim

Where we dive laughing

Simply hope and good feelings

To fight fear, and the most malicious

I leave you a tomorrow, I leave you very little

It's true, to give the night a bright side

And maybe

The sky will be black

And the earth red

In the streets, in the bars

Not a soul moving

But never stop

To doubt in the evening

Cherish the contrasts

In the stencil night

We will break your dreams

By opening drawers

Where we put, where we throw

The papers, the tissues

To reduce you to crumbs

You and your kindness

Stick labels

Without any evidence

I leave you a tomorrow in rain and storms

Sorry, my love, for this poor legacy

But it's up to you to turn it into an ocean

Where we love, where we swim

Where we dive laughing

Simply hope, and good feelings

To fight fear, and the most malicious

I leave you a tomorrow, I leave you very little

It's true, to give the night

A bright side

I failed at the only

At the unique mission

That I had to offer you the best of worlds

To preserve the chance

To watch over the present

So that in the future

You grow up laughing

Sorry, my love, for this poor legacy

Simply hope and good feelings

As the only reason to take up arms

I leave you a sun

And then some songs

SONG MEANING

In Je Te Laisse, French singer-songwriter Tim Dup plays the part of a caring elder who is handing the world to someone younger. He admits that this inheritance is "pluies et orages"—a planet already bruised by doubt, cynicism, and environmental scars—yet he urges the listener to seize life, savour forbidden thrills, and always respect the flowers, the people, and life itself. The song blends gentle apologies with playful encouragement: pick the apple, dive into the ocean of love, and keep smiling even when storms rage overhead.

Beneath its tender piano and airy vocals, the track is a manifesto of hope as resistance. Yes, dreams may be broken and labels unfairly stuck on kind souls, but Tim Dup insists that simple tools—hope, kindness, and a few good songs—are enough to repaint the night with light. By the final line, you feel entrusted with a small yet powerful legacy: a sun, some melodies, and the freedom to transform a flawed tomorrow into a place where we all swim, laugh, and love.
