Ava Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ava by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.

Ava

I know, you're going out again tonight

His arms will wait for you in the dark

Stronger

Than yesterday at the bar

Ava

You spark envy wherever you go

You scream beneath your Paris airs

Madam

You love without a soul

But I

I feel you

Tremble when he shamelessly takes his time

To say

What he likes

In the others who parade on your pain

Love him if you want

But his laugh leaves a mark

And wounds

You can be reborn if you tear yourself away

From his words, from promises

From lies that hurt

But don't go out if you're hurting

My Ava

Ava

You reread those words nonstop

Three-sentence letters that tear your age away

You know he's a coward

But Ava

He only thinks you're naive

When he kisses you, you come back to life

But he rents his bed

But I

I feel you

Tremble when he shamelessly takes his time

To say

What he likes

In the others who parade on your pain

Love him if you want

But his laugh leaves a mark

And wounds

You can be reborn if you tear yourself away

From his words, from promises

From lies that hurt

But don't go out if you're hurting, my

But don't go out if you're hurting

My Ava

Hey Ava

Hey, Ava

Paname — Paris (slang)

Paname is a charming and somewhat old-fashioned slang term for Paris. It's not a word you hear every day, making it unique and memorable.

In the song, Coeur de Pirate sings, "Tu hurles sous tes airs de Paname" (You scream under your Parisian airs). It evokes a specific image of a Parisian attitude or style, adding a layer of cultural nuance to the lyrics that goes beyond a simple translation of "Paris".

Step into a neon-lit Parisian night and meet Ava, a magnetic woman who turns every head yet hides a storm inside. Coeur De Pirate paints her slipping from bar stools to a lover’s arms, chasing a spark that never quite warms her. Behind the glitter, our narrator watches Ava "tremble," knowing the smooth-talking man has mastered empty promises and three-line letters that steal her youth. The song’s French imagery – from "Paname" swagger to whispered secrets in the dark – invites us to feel the push-and-pull between desire and self-respect.

At its heart, "Ava" is an empathetic pep-talk: Love him if you must, the singer urges, but remember that his laughter leaves scars. With catchy piano chords and tender vocals, Coeur De Pirate offers more than heartbreak; she extends a lifeline. The lyrics encourage Ava – and anyone who relates – to break free from words that wound, rediscover inner strength, and only step back into the night when the hurt no longer follows. The result is both a cautionary tale and a celebration of self-worth, wrapped in irresistible indie-pop shimmer.
