Coeur Croisé Lyrics in English by POLO, PAN

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Coeur Croisé by POLO from French to English.

I was strolling, I was lost

When I bumped into you, lovely stranger

With one glance I guessed

The delicate scent of a broken heart

If only I'd said "Hi"

I think we'd have liked each other

But Cupid didn't fire

And I kept walking

Don't be scared, come straight to me

I've waited for you a long time, love

One word from you and you'll forever be

My king, my guide, the light of my days

Kind of like a déjà vu vibe

Of a scene I've lived before

The feeling of a near miss

On a highway in mid-summer

I miss the days gone by

Of a budding love on the avenue

But our romance is wiped away

Like our idols on glossy paper

Don't be scared, come straight to me

I've waited for you a long time, love

One word from you and you'll forever be

My king, my guide, the light of my days

chassé-croisé — crossing paths / criss-cross

Chassé-croisé literally translates to "chased-crossed" and refers to a situation where people or things repeatedly cross paths, often without meeting or interacting directly.

In the song, it's used to describe a missed connection, a "sensation d'un chassé-croisé" (sensation of a criss-cross) on a highway, evoking the feeling of being close to someone but never quite connecting. It's a unique and evocative phrase that perfectly captures the song's theme of longing and missed opportunities.

Coeur Croisé sweeps you into a sun-drenched summer stroll where two strangers briefly lock eyes and feel an instant pull. POLO’s narrator picks up on the “parfum fragile d’un cœur brisé” yet hesitates, letting the moment slip as easily as traffic passing on a highway. The chorus then flips to the stranger’s perspective, an open invitation packed with promises of everlasting devotion—proof that both hearts were secretly synced but never spoke up.

Behind the catchy, feel-good groove lies a bittersweet reminder: opportunities for love can appear in the blink of an eye and vanish just as quickly. The song paints a vivid picture of missed chances, déjà-vu longing, and the quiet hope of a reunion. It nudges listeners to be brave, say “Salut,” and turn a crossed-path into a shared journey before Cupid holsters his arrow again.
