Retiens Tes Larmes Lyrics in English by Abou Tall
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Retiens Tes Larmes by Abou Tall from French to English.
Tu m'as dit, stop, tout est fini
You told me, stop, it's all over
Que t'as souffert au point que ton cœur est vide
That you suffered so much your heart is empty
Je t'ai dit, stop, tu m'as choisi
I told you, stop, you chose me
Est-ce qu'on peut dire que t'as c'que tu mérites?
Can we say you have what you deserve?
Retiens tes larmes, larmes, larmes, larmes
Hold back your tears, tears, tears, tears
Tu vas me faire mal, mal, mal, mal
You're gonna hurt me, hurt, hurt, hurt
Retiens tes larmes, larmes, larmes, larmes
Hold back your tears, tears, tears, tears
Tu vas me faire mal, mal, mal, mal
You're gonna hurt me, hurt, hurt, hurt
J'ai déconné, c'est vrai, rien ne sera plus comme avant
I messed up, it's true, nothing will be like before
Mais si tu veux rester, ma chérie, dis-le maintenant
But if you wanna stay, my darling, say it now
Ensemble, on a connu plus d'hiver que de printemps
Together, we've known more winters than springs
Oh, mais si tu veux rester, ma chérie, dis-le maintenant
Oh, but if you wanna stay, my darling, say it now
Ouh, tu parles beaucoup, mais ton regard ne ment pas, ne ment pas
Ooh, you talk a lot, but your gaze doesn't lie, doesn't lie
Ouh, j'ai cherché ton cœur au mauvais endroit, endroit
Ooh, I looked for your heart in the wrong place, place
Oh, est ce qu'il était sous ton torse
Oh, was it under your chest
Et que tu me voulais tout proche
And you wanted me very close
Ouais, c'est bien ça que tu me reproches
Yeah, that's what you blame me for
Ouais, c'est bien ça que tu me reproches
Yeah, that's what you blame me for
Oh, est ce qu'il était sous ton torse
Oh, was it under your chest
Et que je ne pensais qu'à mes poches
And I only thought about my pockets
Ouais, c'est bien ça que tu me reproches
Yeah, that's what you blame me for
Ouais, c'est bien ça que tu me reproches
Yeah, that's what you blame me for
Retiens tes larmes, larmes, larmes, larmes
Hold back your tears, tears, tears, tears
Tu vas me faire mal, mal, mal, mal
You're gonna hurt me, hurt, hurt, hurt
Retiens tes larmes, larmes, larmes, larmes
Hold back your tears, tears, tears, tears
Tu vas me faire mal, mal, mal, mal
You're gonna hurt me, hurt, hurt, hurt
J'ai déconné, c'est vrai, rien ne sera plus comme avant
I messed up, it's true, nothing will be like before
Mais si tu veux rester, ma chérie, dis-le maintenant
But if you wanna stay, my darling, say it now
Ensemble, on a connu plus d'hiver que de printemps
Together, we've known more winters than springs
Oh, mais si tu veux rester, ma chérie, dis-le maintenant
Oh, but if you wanna stay, my darling, say it now
Ouh, tu parles beaucoup, mais ton regard ne ment pas, ne ment pas
Ooh, you talk a lot, but your gaze doesn't lie, doesn't lie
Ouh, j'ai cherché ton cœur au mauvais endroit, endroit
Ooh, I looked for your heart in the wrong place, place
Tu parles beaucoup, mais ton regard ne ment pas, ne ment pas
You talk a lot, but your gaze doesn't lie, doesn't lie
Ouh, j'ai cherché ton cœur au mauvais endroit, endroit
Ooh, I looked for your heart in the wrong place, place
Tomber dans le vide, nos projets tombés dans le vide
Falling into the void, our plans falling into the void
Je ne peux rien te garantir si tu t'en vas
I can't guarantee you anything if you leave
Je n'ai plus de promesse à tenir
I've no more promises to keep
Ouais, t'en es au point de me haïr
Yeah, you're at the point of hating me
Je n'ai que des excuses à t'offrir
I only have excuses to offer you
Je ne peux rien te garantir si tu t'en vas
I can't guarantee you anything if you leave
Je n'ai plus de promesse à tenir
I've no more promises to keep
(J'ai déconné, c'est vrai, rien ne sera plus comme avant)
I messed up, it's true, nothing will be like before
(Mais si tu veux rester, ma chérie, dis-le maintenant)
But if you wanna stay, my darling, say it now
(Ensemble, on a connu plus d'hiver que de printemps)
Together, we've known more winters than springs
(Oh, mais si tu veux rester, ma chérie, dis-le maintenant
Oh, but if you wanna stay, my darling, say it now

Did you like this lyrics translation?
déconné — messed up / screwed up
Déconné is the past participle of the verb déconner, which is a colloquial and somewhat strong way to say "to mess up" or "to screw up". It's more impactful than a simple "j'ai fait une erreur" (I made a mistake).
In the song, the line "J'ai déconné, c'est vrai, rien ne sera plus comme avant" (I messed up, it's true, nothing will be like before) shows the singer's raw admission of guilt and the serious consequences of his actions. This word captures the regret and the gravity of the situation, making it very engaging.
