I don't know what I want

What I seek night and day

With this watchful gaze

And this heart lately broken

Escaped far from my friends

I crawl here in a corner

Where the shadow goes with no tomorrow

My heart drifts through its insomnia

Yes, my heart, my heart, you're crazy

Branded by so much hate

Without me screaming, without pity for me

I live on a fierce yet gentle fire

Without me screaming, without pity for me

Branded by so much hate

Yes, my heart, my heart, you're crazy

You're crazy

I hate those people who, to my face

Play at being way too sweet

And, behind my back, backstab me

With a hundred whispers of gossip

Those ones got my poems

To say more than they should

And right away call me

A wh*re or a messed-up lunatic

Yes, my heart, my heart, you're crazy

Branded by so much hate

Without me screaming, without pity for me

I live on a fierce yet gentle fire

Without me screaming, without pity for me

Branded by so much hate

Yes, my heart, my heart, you're crazy

You're crazy

Outro

You're crazy

Yes, my heart, my heart, you're crazy

You're 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.
