Verse 1
Oh my sweet suffering
Why persist? You start again!
I am just a being without importance
Without him I am a bit paranoid
I wander alone in the subway
One last dance
To forget my immense pain
I want to escape, for everything to start over
Oh my sweet suffering
Chorus 1
I stir up the sky, the day, the night
I dance with the wind, the rain
A little love, a hint of honey
And I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
And in the noise, I run and I'm scared
Is it my turn?
The pain returns
In all of Paris, I abandon myself
And I fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
Verse 2
So much hope
On this path in your absence
I'm working hard, without you my life is just a decor that shines
Void of meaning
Chorus 2
I stir up the sky, the day, the night
I dance with the wind, the rain
A little love, a hint of honey
And I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
And in the noise, I run and I'm scared
Is it my turn?
The pain returns
In all of Paris, I abandon myself
And I fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
Verse 3
In this sweet suffering
For which I've paid all the offenses
Listen to how immense is my heart
I am a child of the world
Chorus 3
I stir up the sky, the day, the night
I dance with the wind, the rain
A little love, a hint of honey
And I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
And in the noise, I run and I'm scared
Is it my turn?
The pain returns
In all of Paris, I abandon myself
And I fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly

SONG MEANING

“Dernière Danse” is Indila’s poetic snapshot of heartbreak in the City of Light. The singer wanders through Parisian streets and metro tunnels, feeling invisible after losing someone she loves. She calls her pain ma douce souffrance (my sweet suffering) because it stubbornly sticks around, yet also fuels her dramatic flair. With every step she imagines a last dance that could spin the sadness away and reset her world.

In the chorus, Indila whirls with the wind, the rain and the city’s constant noise, mixing fear with flashes of hope. Each “danse, danse, danse” is both a cry and a cure, reminding us that even in despair we can still move, dream and rise. The song’s true message: heartbreak might dim the lights, but it never stops the music. Keep dancing and one day you will fly above the skyline again.
