I don't know what I want

What I chase night and day

With this watchful stare

And this heart newly broken

Broken free, far from my friends

I crawl here in a corner

Where shadow goes with no tomorrow

My heart roams in its insomnias

Yes, my heart, my heart, you're mad

Branded by so much hate

Without me screaming, without anybody pitying me

I live on a fire both fierce and soft

You're mad

I hate those people who in front of me

Act with a kindness far too cuddly

And who, behind my back, murder me

With a hundred whispered slanders

Those ones got my poems

To say more than they should

And to call me right away

A wh*re or a crazy troublemaker

Without me screaming, without anybody pitying me

These received my poems

To say more than it should be

And to treat me immediately

Whore or problem with problems

Yes, my heart, my heart you are crazy

Passed to the iron of so much hatred

Without my crying without being complained

I live with a fierce and soft fire

Without my crying without being complained

Passed to the iron of so much hatred

Yes, my heart, my heart you are crazy

You are crazy

Outro

You are crazy

Yes, my heart, my heart you are crazy

You are crazy

SONG MEANING

Mon Cœur Tu Es Fou is ZAZ’s fiery confession of a heart that refuses to stay quiet.

Right from the opening line, she admits she doesn’t know what she wants. Her restless eyes and freshly broken heart push her into dark corners, keeping her awake at night. Yet instead of collapsing, she addresses her own heart like a wild friend: “Mon cœur, tu es fou” - “My heart, you are crazy.” That “crazy” heart keeps her alive with a fierce-yet-tender flame, even after being branded by hatred.

In the second half she turns her spotlight on the back-stabbers around her. These people smile to her face then slash her with whispered gossip, calling her “a whore” or “a lunatic with problems.” ZAZ replies with raw irony and unwavering strength: although their words hurt, her heart keeps beating louder, fueled by that same flame. The song is both a lament and a declaration of freedom - a reminder that pain, passion, rage and resilience can coexist in one “crazy” heart that simply refuses to give up.
