It's not so easy to give your trust
I was so fragile, you played me well, when I think about it
I was very docile and you went crazy
You've shot the deal, imposed your law, what do you do with us
Bye, bye, bye, you've done your time
Bye, bye, bye, I'm more of a child
You've been walking me around, you've messed me up
Put in a quagmire, you have me, you have me, you have walked me
You've been walking me around, you've messed me up
Put in a quagmire, you have me, you have me, you have walked me
Lalalalalala
I wanted to give everything but I didn't understand
That you were going to go away, never come back but tell me it took you
I wanted to forgive everything, I paid the price
You wanted to have fun, you played, you lost, do not blame me, this is life
Bye, bye you've done your time
Bye, bye go good wind
You've been walking me around, you've messed me up
Put in a quagmire, you have me, you have me, you have walked me
You've been walking me around, you've messed me up
Put in a quagmire, you have me, you have me, you have walked me
Lalalalalala
Bala, bala, bala, bala, baladé
Come on, go, go, go, go
You've been walking me around, you've messed me up
Put in a quagmire, you have me, you have me, you have walked me
You've been walking me around, you've messed me up
Put in a quagmire, you have me, you have me, you have walked me
Lalalalalala
Bala, bala, bala, bala, baladé
Bala, bala, bala, bala, baladé
Bala, bala, bala, bala, baladé

baladé — led on / strung along

Baladé comes from the verb balader, which literally means "to stroll" or "to take for a walk". However, in this context, it's used in a more colloquial and figurative sense.

Here, "Tu m'as baladé" means "You led me on" or "You strung me along." It perfectly captures the feeling of being deceived and manipulated in a relationship, making it a very relatable and impactful word in the song.

"Baladé" is a breakup song about being led on. Vitaa sings about trusting someone who turned out to be careless with her heart, letting him have his fun while she stayed fragile and docile until he broke the deal.

The chorus repeats "tu m'as baladé, tu m'as bazardé" — he strung her along and then tossed her aside. She admits she gave everything and forgave too easily, but now she's done: the "bye bye" refrain marks her walking away for good, no longer the naive one who let herself be pushed around.

By the end the song turns into a chant, with the repeated "baladé" hook becoming almost a release — less an accusation than a way of shaking the hurt off.
