Ne Te Retourne Pas Lyrics in English Céphaz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ne Te Retourne Pas by Céphaz from French to English.
You'd like to turn the page
Change the scenery
Forget, forget it all
For cloudless tomorrows
You'd like to drop the fear
What's weighing deep in your heart
Forget, forget it all
All those who gnaw a bit at happiness
I met somebody like you, yeah, on the road
On the road
Who didn't dare dance anymore
And life passes like a lovely summer
Take the good and the bad sides
Everything that makes you
To play yourself
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Despite the winters and the low blows
Take life as it goes
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Despite the winters and step by step
Take life as it goes
I've turned pages
Met faces
And I forget, I forget nothing
Neither my roots nor my landscapes
Each day has its glimmers
That surface deep in my heart
And I forget, I forget nothing, no
Neither the laughs nor the people who cry
I don't want you falling asleep
There, on your doubts
No doubt, no
Come on, let's dance
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Despite the winters and the low blows
Take life as it goes
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Despite the winters and step by step
Take life as it goes
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Despite the winters and the low blows
Take life as it goes
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Despite the winters and step by step
Take life as it goes
Don't look back
Don't look back
Despite the winters and the low blows
Take life as it goes
Don't look back
Don't look back
Despite the winters and step by step
Take life as it goes
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Despite the winters and the low blows
Take life as it goes
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Despite the winters and step by step
Take life as it goes
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Despite the winters and the low blows
Take life as it goes
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Don't look back, pa-la-pa
Despite the winters and step by step
Take life as it goes

SONG MEANING

“Ne Te Retourne Pas” (Don’t Look Back) is Céphaz’s sunny pep-talk for anyone tempted to run from their problems. Over a feel-good beat and the catchy pa-la-pa hook, the French-Gabonese singer urges us to turn the page, shake off fear, and welcome every new day — clouds, winters, cheap shots and all. Life, he says, races by like a gorgeous summer, so grab both the good and the bad because they all shape who you are.

The song balances forward motion with warm nostalgia: Céphaz himself has “turned pages” and explored new faces and places, yet he keeps his roots and memories close. His message is clear and danceable: don’t freeze in your doubts; keep stepping, keep dancing, and “take life as it comes.” If you need an anthem for courage, optimism, and a little shoulder shimmy, this is it!
