Les Humains Lyrics in English Voyou

Home / Lyrics Translation / Voyou / Les Humains

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Humains by Voyou from French to English.

You've traveled around the city

And all around the planet

You've set foot on islands

Where you were illiterate

You've seen many styles

Of girls and boys

And you've come across bits

Of lives and horizons

But a beautiful journey is the prison

When you have someone who loves you at home

And there are humans everywhere

Tall ones, tiny ones

Crowds, faces, and lives

That are active day and night

And of these humans everywhere

Who have passed in front of your eyes

Who have talked to you about themselves and their lives

It's her that you've chosen

You zigzag

In the midst of waves

Of humans, houses

You drag your face

According to schedules and seasons

After four flights

It's not good luck

At her place, it's night

It's so boring

You're alone at the end of the globe

And alone at the end of the line and your life

All these beautiful journeys are the prison

When you have someone who loves you at home

And there are humans everywhere

Tall ones, tiny ones

Crowds, faces, and lives

That are active day and night

And of these humans everywhere

Who have passed in front of your eyes

Who have talked to you about themselves and their lives

It's her that you've chosen

There are humans everywhere

Tall ones, tiny ones

Crowds, faces, and lives

That are active day and night

And of these humans everywhere

Who have passed in front of your eyes

Who have talked to you about themselves and their lives

It's her that you've chosen

SONG MEANING

Ever dreamed of jet-setting around the globe, hopping from tropical islands to buzzing cities, meeting an endless parade of strangers? In "Les Humains," French indie-pop artist Voyou turns that fantasy on its head. The narrator has stamped every passport page, met “des grands, des tout petits” and watched entire crowds pulse with life, yet each dazzling sight only highlights a surprising truth: constant motion can feel like a cage when your heart is anchored at home.

Voyou playfully contrasts the thrill of discovery with the ache of missing “quelqu’un qui t’aime à la maison.” No matter how many faces flash by, only one face truly matters, and every arrival in a new time zone is just one more reminder of the distance from her. The song becomes a warm, bittersweet ode to love that outshines wanderlust, proving that amid “des humains de toute part,” the most extraordinary journey is choosing one person out of the crowd.
