Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Veux Tes Yeux by Angèle from French to English.

I want your eyes

Only your beautiful eyes

Only in a photo

I want them both

Without feeling your skin

Connected online, but not to me

I'm waiting for your sign, I think there's none

I saw you saw, you don't answer

So I wait, I keep waiting

For it to ring at last, that latent sound

Maybe I'm lying to myself, maybe I'm shaking

You shouldn't think that

I want your eyes

Only your beautiful eyes

Only in a photo

I want them both

Without feeling your skin

Maybe one day, we'll see each other

But not right now, I'd rather not

I prefer the illusion of having you, I've got hope

But don't make up too many stories

Okay, I already know if you forget me, it'll teach me that

I want your eyes

Only in a photo

I want them both

Without feeling your skin

I could only run away from you

I could only blush

And I'd be, how to say

Crazy about you, about our first sighs

'Cause I want your eyes

Only your beautiful eyes

I want your eyes

Only in a photo

I want them both

Without feeling your skin

I want your eyes

Only in a photo

I want them both

Without feeling your skin

SONG MEANING

“Je Veux Tes Yeux” is a playful yet vulnerable glimpse into the world of online crushes. Angèle sings about wanting only the beautiful eyes of someone she admires — captured safely in a photo on her screen. She refreshes her phone, waits for a message that never comes, and flirts with the line between fantasy and reality. The song turns the everyday habit of social-media scrolling into a catchy confession of longing, hesitation, and the comfort of distance.

Behind the upbeat electro-pop vibe lies a relatable fear: meeting in real life might shatter the perfect image she has built. So she clings to the illusion, repeating “Je veux tes yeux” like a mantra, choosing pixels over touch. Angèle’s witty lyrics and light delivery make the song feel like a friendly chat, but the core message is deeper — it asks how much of our modern love stories happen on screens and how much courage it takes to step beyond them.
