Je te dit je t’aime Lyrics English Translation by Ninho Ia
Amine Tabich drafts lines about a protective wall built from old wreckage. He pens a key confession: ‘I tell you I love you, but I only mean it halfway.’ The author describes a heart afraid to beat for someone new.
J’te dit je t’aime mais je le dit à moitiéI tell you I love you, but I only mean it halfway.
J’ai trop souffert j’ai peur de m’attacherI’ve suffered too much, and I’m afraid of getting attached.
Ton r’gard m’apaisais mais peut me tuerYour gaze soothes me, but it could kill me.
J’suis entre deux j’sais pas comment t’aimerI’m caught in the middle; I don’t know how to love you.
T’es dans ma tête meme quand j’fait l’indifférentYou’re in my head even when I act indifferent.
J’cache mes sentiments, j’fait genre j’sent plus rienI hide my feelings, pretending I don’t feel anything anymore.
Et quand t’es pas la j’me sent differentAnd when you aren’t here, I feel different,
Comme si mon coeur battait plus pour rienas if my heart is beating for nothing.
J’ai connue l’amour, mais surtout les dégâtsI’ve known love, but mostly its wreckage.
Des promesses en l’airEmpty promises tossed in the air,
Des reste, qui reste pasand lingering pieces that just won’t stay.
Du coup jme protège meme quand t’es laSo I protect myself even when you’re around.
J’veux t’ouvrir mon coeur mais j’sais pasI want to open my heart to you, but I don’t know how.
T’es différente j´le vois dans t’es yeuxYou’re different; I can see it in your eyes.
T’es pas comme elle, ta rendu l’jeux sérieuxYou aren’t like her; you’ve made this game serious.
J’etait perdu, maintenant j’vise à deuxI was lost, but now I’m aiming for the two of us.
Mais j’ai peur qu’on finisse malheureuxBut I’m scared that we’ll end up unhappy.
J’te dit je t’aime mais je le dit à moitiéI tell you I love you, but I only mean it halfway.
J’ai trop souffert j’ai peur de m’attacherI’ve suffered too much, and I’m afraid of getting attached.
Ton r’gard m’apaisais mais peut me tuerYour gaze soothes me, but it could kill me.
J’suis entre deux j’sais pas comment t’aimerI’m caught in the middle; I don’t know how to love you.
T’es dans ma tête meme quand j’fait l’indifférentYou’re in my head even when I act indifferent.
J’cache mes sentiments, j’fait genre j’sent plus rienI hide my feelings, pretending I don’t feel anything anymore.
Et quand t’es pas la j’me sent differentAnd when you aren’t here, I feel different,
Comme si mon coeur battait plus pour rienas if my heart is beating for nothing.
