I approved her, I approved her, I approved her
Our hearts beat too fast, we're gonna crash
We need to slow down
I loved you, that's in the past
I'm gonna console myself at Versace
Maybe I have my flaws
I messed up, I admit it
Alone and sad like at the pound
To only one woman I say "I love you"
To only one woman I say "I love you"
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
First time I saw you, I remember
Miss, what do you have planned? Nothing...
Your swaying hips left me groggy
Two days later I took you doggy-style
Your name resonates in high places
Us two, it's over like Banlieue Sale
You were a forbidden fruit
Shopping on the Champs, not at Cora
You just used me, no honeymoon of Jack Miel in Bora-Bora
Our hearts beat too fast, we're gonna crash
We need to slow down
I loved you, that's in the past
I'm gonna console myself at Versace
Maybe I have my flaws
I messed up, I admit it
Alone and sad like at the pound
To only one woman I say "I love you"
I approved her, I approved her
I gave her everything
She took it all without even thanking me
She wanted a second chance
I said: "No, I have too much dignity!"
For any confidence, I call Bampara Kouyaté
My baby, I would have taken you out of poverty
I snooped through her iPhone, I never should have
I snooped through her iPhone, I never should have
Pictures in skimpy clothes
Naked men without any restraint
I would have given her children, she screwed me over
If I told you, you'd stammer
But I won't tell you anything, knowing you
You'd want to kill her too
I left my heart open
Thinking you wouldn't steal anything
Our hearts beat too fast, we're gonna crash
We need to slow down
I loved you, that's in the past
I'm gonna console myself at Versace
Maybe I have my flaws
I messed up, I admit it
Alone and sad like at the pound
To only one woman I say "I love you"
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I loved you, that's in the past

Nos cœurs battent trop vite, on va se crasher
➔ Present tense (battent) / Future proche (va + infinitive)
➔ 'battent' is the present tense conjugation of the verb 'battre' (to beat), indicating a current state. 'On va se crasher' uses the *futur proche*, formed with 'aller' (to go) + infinitive, to express an immediate or near future action.
-
Je t'aimais, c'est du passé
➔ Imparfait (aimais) / Expression 'c'est du + noun'
➔ 'Je t'aimais' uses the *imparfait* to describe a state or habitual action in the past. It conveys a sense of ongoing or repeated action. 'C'est du passé' is an expression meaning 'it's in the past' or 'it's over'.
-
J'vais me consoler chez Versace
➔ Futur Proche (vais + infinitive) with reflexive verb
➔ This sentence uses the *futur proche* ('vais' + infinitive) to express a near future action. 'Me consoler' is a reflexive verb, meaning 'to console myself'. The 'me' is the reflexive pronoun.
-
À une seule femme j'dis "I love you"
➔ Preposition 'à' indicating indirect object / Inversion of subject and verb (j'dis)
➔ The preposition 'à' indicates the indirect object 'une seule femme' (to one single woman). 'J'dis' is an informal inversion of 'Je dis', where the subject and verb are switched for emphasis or stylistic effect.
-
Première fois que je t'ai vue, je me souviens
➔ Relative clause with 'que' / Reflexive verb 'se souvenir'

Elle a tout pris sans même me remercier
➔ Adverb 'même' emphasizing negation / Past participle without agreement
➔ 'Même' is an adverb used to emphasize the negation 'sans' (without). In the phrase 'sans même me remercier', it means 'without even thanking me'. Since 'me' (indirect object pronoun) comes before the auxiliary verb 'a', the past participle 'pris' does *not* agree with the direct object.
