T'es rentrée dans ma vie comme dans un freestyle

You entered my life like in a freestyle

T'as voulu qu'on s'évade comme Bonnie and Clyde

You wanted us to escape like Bonnie and Clyde

J'ai voulu percer ton cœur en titane

I wanted to pierce your titanium heart

J'ai vite compris que j'n'étais pas de taille

I quickly realized I wasn't up to the task

Baby, alors? On va où? On fait quoi?

Baby, so? Where are we going? What are we doing?

On s'enfuit, loin d'ici, on y va

We're running away, far from here, let's go

On est si différents, c'est ce qui nous attire

We're so different, that's what attracts us

"Bang, bang, bang" autour ça tire

"Bang, bang, bang" shots are fired around us

Viens avec moi si t'es prête à partir

Come with me if you're ready to leave

J'veux pas rester là, ils veulent nous asservir

I don't want to stay here, they want to enslave us

Baby, alors? On va où? On fait quoi?

Baby, so? Where are we going? What are we doing?

On s'enfuit, loin d'ici, on y va

We're running away, far from here, let's go

Key Grammar Structures

• T'es rentrée dans ma vie comme dans un freestyle

  ➔ Use of the object pronoun 't'' (short for 'tu') combined with 'es' (the verb 'être') to form the passé composé.

  ➔ The phrase 'T'es rentrée' combines 'tu' + 'es' + 'rentrée' to indicate 'you have come back' or 'you entered.'

• On s'enfuit, loin d'ici, on y va

  ➔ Use of the reflexive pronoun 's'' in 's'enfuit' indicating reflexivity, and the phrase 'on y va' expressing the decision to go.

  ➔ 's'enfuit' is the third person singular reflexive verb meaning 'flee' or 'escape.'

• Elle est sexy, raffinée

  ➔ Use of the present tense 'est' (from 'être') with adjectives 'sexy' and 'raffinée' to describe qualities.

  ➔ 'est' is the third person singular form of the verb 'être' (to be), used here to link the subject to its description.

• Je l'ai cru

  ➔ Use of the direct object pronoun 'l'' combined with the auxiliary verb 'ai' and the past participle 'cru' to form the passé composé.

  ➔ 'l'' is the contraction of 'le' or 'la', the direct object, indicating 'him' or 'her'.
