Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'autre Moi by Carla from French to English.

Verse 1

They told me, you dream too much

You know life isn't only pretty

Listen closely, you can believe me

Often life is black or white

Don't believe just anything

You're wasting your time, I know it

Believe me, the world is way too big

To run everywhere all the time

Chorus 1

And it runs runs in my head

Like a melody that doesn't go right

Chorus 1

And it spins spins, it drives me mad

I dream of the other me going round in circles

Chorus 1

And it runs runs in my head

Like a melody that doesn't go right

Chorus 1

And it spins spins and won't quit my mind

I dream of the other me going round in circles

Verse 2

They told me don't aim too high

Put your ego aside

It's better not to make a fuss

You'll be disappointed by too much hope

But I wanna believe in something

I wanna see life in blue and pink

I'm not afraid to fall often

I get back up pretty much every time

Chorus 2

And it runs runs in my head

Like a melody that doesn't go right

Chorus 2

And it spins spins, it drives me mad

I dream of the other me going round in circles

Chorus 2

And it runs runs in my head

Like a melody that doesn't go right

Chorus 2

And it spins spins and won't quit my mind

I dream of the other me going round in circles

Verse 3

They told me, you dream too much

But I wanna see life from above

They told me, you can believe me

Let me do it, I'll let you see

I'd rather run than keep quiet

My craziness over your inventories

Looking at the whole life ahead

To see if the world is too big

Chorus 3

And it runs runs in my head

Like a melody that doesn't go right

Chorus 3

And it spins spins, it drives me mad

I dream of the other me going round in circles

Chorus 3

And it runs runs in my head

Like a melody that doesn't go right

Chorus 3

And it spins spins and won't quit my mind

I dream of the other me going round in circles

Bridge

La la la, la la la

Outro

And I run run to party

I want melodies that bounce

Outro

And it spins spins and won't quit my mind

I dream of the other me going round in circles

Outro

And I run run to party

I want melodies that bounce

Outro

And it spins spins and won't quit my mind

Up to the other me who goes in circles

SONG MEANING

Ever feel like the grown-ups around you keep hitting the brakes on your dreams? Carla’s French-language anthem "L’autre Moi" turns that frustration into a sparkling pop pep-talk. Throughout the song, voices of caution tell her to stop aiming so high, to quiet her ego, to accept that life is just black or white. Yet inside her head a catchy, looping melody urges her to keep running, keep believing, and keep imagining a brighter version of herself – “l’autre moi,” the other me who refuses to stand still.

Rather than bow to fear, Carla chooses color over gray, movement over silence, and curiosity over comfort. She admits she might stumble, but she always gets back up. The result is an uplifting message: the world may seem huge and intimidating, but it is also a playground for those brave enough to chase their own beat. So crank up the volume, let your thoughts spin like a chorus stuck on repeat, and dare to see life “in blue, in pink” just like Carla does!
