Key Grammar Structures
-
T'es mon bonheur et mon malheur
➔ Use of the verb "être" in the present tense to define a state or quality.
➔ The sentence equates the person to both happiness ("bonheur") and unhappiness ("malheur"). "T'es" is a colloquial contraction of "tu es."
-
Tu fais couler mon eye-liner
➔ Causative construction using "faire" + infinitive.
➔ "Tu fais couler mon eye-liner" literally means "You make my eyeliner run". It indicates that the person's actions or presence cause the speaker emotional distress leading to crying and thus ruining the eyeliner.
-
Chaque seconde chaque minute
➔ Repetition of "chaque" + noun to emphasize frequency.
➔ This emphasizes how frequently the feeling occurs: every second, every minute.
-
Avant je n'étais pas comme ça
➔ Use of "comme ça" to indicate "like that" or "that way".
➔ Expresses a change in the speaker's state or behavior. The implication is that the speaker's current state is a result of the relationship with the person they are addressing.
-
Y'a qu'avec toi que j'me sens forte
➔ Use of "il y a que" (here contracted to "y'a que") + "que" to emphasize exclusivity.
➔ Means "Only with you do I feel strong." The structure emphasizes that the feeling of strength is exclusive to that person's presence.
-
Aussi paisiblement
➔ Adverb of manner formed by adding "-ment" to the feminine form of the adjective.
➔ "Paisiblement" means "peacefully". It's modifying an implied verb, suggesting something happens in a peaceful manner.
-
Est ce qu'on laisse faire?
➔ Interrogative sentence structure using "Est-ce que" to form a question.
➔ "Est-ce qu'on laisse faire?" translates to "Should we let it happen?". It's a general way to pose a question, without inverting the subject and verb.
-
Bébé allons à la maison
➔ Imperative mood: "allons" is the first-person plural imperative form of the verb "aller".
➔ "Allons" is used to suggest or encourage a group (including the speaker) to go somewhere. In this case, it's a suggestion to go home.
