Seul Sur Ton Tandem Lyrics in English Voyou

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Seul Sur Ton Tandem by Voyou from French to English.

And roll, roll, and may nothing ever stop you

And collapse, collapse often under love and its debts

I envy you deeply but it's the heart that stops me

Because soon someone stronger than you will join the party

The wheel turns and if one of the two falls

The other rolls or collapses with them

Yet not bad off

Both in the vein

Here you are shortened

Alone on your tandem

And the soul in pain

The soul in pain pedaling for two

Yet not bad off

Both in the plain

Here you are shortened

Alone on your tandem

And the soul in pain

Dragging a ghost

You're going to derail

You roll and roll and sometimes go looking for your eyes

Over your shoulder hoping to find a head there

Your back is bored watching armies of daisies pass by

And cries for not having anyone to chat with anymore

The other fell but now you're crossing the slope

Go to the top of the hill, you'll see the descent

Yet not bad off

Both in the vein

Here you are shortened

Alone on your tandem

And the soul in pain

The soul in pain pedaling for two

Yet not bad off

Both in the plain

Here you are shortened

Alone on your tandem

And the soul in pain

Dragging a ghost

And you roll as a martyr singing at the top of your lungs

That everything is going well but I see your legs

A bit distracted

Looking for someone to flirt with

Go around and find yourself an athlete

To continue the journey together on your tandem

It's better anyway

Then two on a tandem is better for moving forward

It's better for moving forward

Yet not bad off

Both in the vein

Here you are shortened

Alone on your tandem

And the soul in pain

The soul in pain pedaling for two

Yet not bad off

Both in the plain

Here you are shortened

Alone on your tandem

And the soul in pain

Dragging a ghost

You're going to derail

SONG MEANING

Seul Sur Ton Tandem spins a playful yet bittersweet tale of love on two wheels. At first, the ride feels unstoppable: two people pedal in perfect sync, flying past fields of daisies, chasing thrills, and piling up both joy and debt of the heart. But when one rider suddenly topples, the other is left "shortened"—stuck on the same tandem, legs burning, dragging the weight of a ghost and wondering how the journey can go on.

Voyou turns this quirky cycling image into a vivid metaphor for breakup and resilience. We hear the lone cyclist sing bravely that everything is fine, yet his wandering eyes and tired legs reveal the truth: pedaling for two is exhausting. The song gently nudges him (and us) to seek a new partner, because two riders on a tandem move faster, laugh louder, and share the load. In the end, the track is a charming reminder that when love throws you off balance, you can always hop back on the bike—just find someone new to share the handlebars.
