[English]

It's love, baby

I waited for the blame

I chose you, my life, among the thousands

I’ll defy any circumstance with you

In love, I’m the only one who never lets go

These are kisses of love

For you, baby, I wash away death

I don’t care what they say, I know the code

If you get lost, I’ll be your compass

Let me drift

I was your lover

Forgive me

My heart never leaves you

I miss you

Even when you’re near

Forgive me

My heart never leaves you

I love you

I never regret who I was

I was still the same

I wasted my life on you

Ah ah

I love you

I carry this fire inside me, it’s overwhelming

Thank you, words aren’t enough

Even I’m crazy about you

I am your wound and your remedy

I am your worry, and I’m here

If I weren’t with you, I would be lost

I won’t turn away from you

I wished death would bring me to you

Unless another woman takes you

It’s not my fault, I change for you

I will never change for you

I love you

I never regret who I was

I was still the same

I wasted my life on you

Ah ah

I love you

I carry this fire inside me, it’s overwhelming

Thank you, words aren’t enough

Even I’m crazy about you

I waited for the blame

I chose you, my life, among the thousands

I’ll defy any circumstance with you

In love, I’m the only one who never lets go

I waited for the blame

I chose you, my life, among the thousands

I’ll defy any circumstance with you

In love, I’m the only one who never lets go

[French]

C'est bébé d'amour

ستنيت اللوم

خيرتك عمري انا بين الالوف

نتحدى معاك أنا يا قاع الظروف

غير في حبّي أنا اللي جامي نسمح

C'est des baisers d'amour

Pour toi bébé أنا نغسل الموت

Je m'en fou de tout ce qu'ils disent نعرف الكود

Si tu te perds أنا je serais ta boussole

سارحني

يا كنت ليك حبيب

سامحني

لا قلبي منك يغيب

واحشني

حتى كي تكون قريب

سامحني

لا قلبي منك يغيب

Je t'aime

جامي نندم على لي كنت

كنت مازالني la même

مزيت حياتي عليك

آه آه

Je t'aime

حامل لهبالي هذا عوام

نشكرك ما يكفيك كلام

حتى أنايا نهبل عليك

أنا جرحك و أنا دواك

أنا همّك و أنا هنا

و الا كنت بيا أنا نواد

ما نتوب عليك

تمنيت الموت أنا تديني عليك

إلا مرا وحدة أخرى تديك

C'est pas de ma faute أنا نغير عليك

عمري نغير عليك

Je t'aime

جامي نندم على لي كنت

كنت مازالني la même

مزيت حياتي عليك

آه آه

Je t'aime

حامل لهبالي هذا عوام

نشكرك ما يكفيك كلام

حتى أنايا نهبل عليك

ستنيت اللوم

خيرتك عمري انا بين الالوف

نتحدى معاك أنا يا قاع الظروف

غير في حبّي أنا اللي جامي نسمح

ستنيت اللوم

خيرتك عمري انا بين الالوف

نتحدى معاك أنا يا قاع الظروف

غير في حبّي أنا اللي جامي نسمح

Key Grammar Structures

• C'est bébé d'amour

  ➔ Use of the impersonal pronoun “c’est” + noun phrase for identification or definition.

  ➔ The word "c'est" introduces the noun "bébé" as a definition: "c'est "bébé" d'amour".

• Je m'en fous de tout ce qu'ils disent

  ➔ Verb + “se foutre de” (colloquial) + noun; use of the partitive pronoun “en” and relative clause “ce que”.

  ➔ The phrase "se foutre de" means "to not care about". "en" replaces "de tout" and "ce qu'ils disent" is a relative clause: "Je m'""en"" fous de ""tout"" "ce qu'ils disent".

• Si tu te perds, je serai ta boussole

  ➔ First‑type conditional: “si + present, futur simple” to express a possible future condition.

  ➔ The word "si" introduces the condition, "tu te perds" is present tense, and the result uses the future simple "je ""serai""": "Si tu te perds, je serai ta boussole".

• Je t'aime

  ➔ Pronoun “te” as a direct object pronoun placed before the verb; expression of affection.

  ➔ The object pronoun ""t'"" (elided form of "te") directly precedes the verb: "Je ""t'""aime".

• Je ne regrette jamais ce que j'ai fait

  ➔ Negation with “ne … jamais” (never); relative clause “ce que” + past tense (passé composé).

  ➔ The adverb "jamais" is enclosed by "ne" and ""jamais"": "Je ""ne"" regrette ""jamais"" ce que j'ai fait".

• C'est pas de ma faute

  ➔ Negation without “ne” (informal spoken French) and “c'est + noun” to assign responsibility.

  ➔ In informal speech "pas" replaces "ne...pas": "C'""est"" ""pas"" de ma faute".

• Tout ce qu'ils disent

  ➔ Relative pronoun “ce que” introducing a subordinate clause; indefinite pronoun “tout” as object.

  ➔ The word "tout" means "all" and is followed by the relative clause ""ce que"" indicating "what they say": "Tout ""ce que"" ils disent".

• Je serais ta boussole

  ➔ Conditional mood with “serais” (first person singular of “être” in the conditional) expressing a hypothetical future.

  ➔ The verb ""serais"" (conditional of "être") follows the subject "Je" and indicates a potential role: "Je ""serais"" ta boussole".
