"Comin' Up for Air"is the fifth of five songs from a 2006 English-language French-Danish animated feature film Asterix and the Vikings soundtrack. It serves as the film's second end credits song. While it's used the original English and international releases, the French dubbing replaces it with "Les Plus Beaux Combats", that uses slightly changed instrumental of "Comin' Up for Air", but with different lyrics, that aren't poetic translation of the original English ones. That version is performed by French singer Amel Bent (who also performed the "Eye of the Tiger" cover for the film).

Singer: Storm Lee

Can't slow down to save my life
I'm in over my heart
Can't fall asleep tonight, oh no
I'd run away if I had my choice
I'd jump on a train and ride out all the noise, the noise
But you keep me sane

In a world that won't stop spinnin'
The sky keeps rainin'
You are always there
Every day that I'm barely breathin'
Your lovin' keeps me comin' up for air
Comin' up for air
Yeah

Where'd you get those eyes to see
Through the chaos that's surroundin' me?
Oh yeah
Never been known inside and out
I don't understand why you stick around, oh
Keepin' me sane

In a world that won't stop spinnin'
The sky keeps rainin'
You are always there
Every day that I'm barely breathin'
Your lovin' keeps me comin' up for air

You keep me from suffocating
And under my darkest ocean you save me
You save me
You save

Yes, you!

In a world that won't stop spinnin'
The sky keeps rainin'
You are always there
Every day that I'm barely breathin'
Your lovin' keeps me comin' up for air

In a world that won't stop spinnin'
The sky keeps rainin'
You are always there
Every day that I'm barely breathin'
Your lovin' keeps me comin' up for air
Comin' up for air.

Singer: Amel Bent

Tu connais si peu de choses ici
Tu ne sais faire que ce qu'on t'a appris
Il y a des mondes à découvrir
Des aventures qui te feront grandir, grandir
Laisse-toi guider

N'aie pas peur de te dépasser
Braver les dangers
Qui sont devant toi
Si la peur ne fait pas voler, elle te fera gagner les plus beaux combats
Les plus beaux combats

Il y a des gens pour t'aider
Qui ont tous du courage à partager
Il suffit d'avoir envie fort
Pour se trouver toujours d'autres trésors encore
Vivre c’est rêver

N'aie pas peur de te dépasser
Braver les dangers
Qui sont devant toi
Si la peur ne fait pas voler, elle te fera gagner les plus beaux combats

C’est seulement, en surmontant ces peurs
Que apparaîtront les couleurs du bonheur
Du bonheur

N'aie pas peur de te dépasser
Braver les dangers
Qui sont devant toi
Si la peur ne fait pas voler, elle te fera gagner les plus beaux combats

N'aie pas peur de te dépasser
Braver les dangers
Qui sont devant toi
Si la peur ne fait pas voler, elle te fera gagner les plus beaux combats
Les plus beaux combats.
