Maintenant Lyrics in English Les Enfoirés

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maintenant by Les Enfoirés from French to English.
We've made mistakes in this screaming world
We wanna touch the Moon to take cover
We don't even know our neighbors' names anymore
No sweet words, no 'I love you', no 'Ciao, puppet'
We've lost love in the big cities
Can't remember who said it, Jacques, Jean, Pierre or Paul
We're not gonna let it slide, no, you don't know us
We've learned well, without 'why', without 'maybe'
I hold you, you hold me
Whoever gives is right
I'm holding your hand
Tonight, we're home
Here and now
Yesterday and now
Always and now
Enfoirés now
Tomorrow and now
Yesterday and now
Hear the beats
Enfoirés now
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Enfoirés now
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Enfoirés now
Even today, we're no longer allowed
To be hungry or to be cold, don't forget
And as long as it lasts, we'll stay here
We think of her, we think of him, we think of you
No, it's not the same if you leave
You know, people who love each other don't forget
We hang in, we stay standing
Maybe a little crazy but we know why
Here and now
Yesterday and now
Always and now
Enfoirés now
Tomorrow and now
Yesterday and now
Hear the beats
Enfoirés now
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Enfoirés now
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Enfoirés now
I hold you, you hold me
Whoever gives is right
I'm holding your hand
Tonight we're home
Here and now
Yesterday and now
Always and now
Enfoirés now
Tomorrow and now
Yesterday and now
Hear the beats
Enfoirés now
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Enfoirés now
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Enfoirés now

SONG MEANING

“Maintenant” is a musical pep talk wrapped in glitter and good vibes. The Enfoirés start by pointing out everything that feels wrong today: we chase the Moon for safety, forget our neighbors’ names, and let love slip through the cracks of buzzing megacities. Yet instead of wallowing, they flip the script. The repeated chant “Je te tiens, tu me tiens” reminds us that real strength is in giving and holding on to each other. Their rallying cry “Ici et maintenant” (Here and now) insists that the moment to act kindly, fight hunger, and warm cold hearts is not tomorrow, but right this second.

The song nods to the Restos du Cœur slogan: “On n’a plus le droit ni d’avoir faim ni d’avoir froid.” It is both a promise and a dare: no one should be left hungry or shivering as long as we can stand up, join hands, and shout “Enfoirés maintenant!” Expect a burst of collective energy, a reminder that love still beats loudly, and an invitation to dance your way into helping others — all at the same time.
