Louis, it's wild everything that's happening to me

That I still keep believing in mysteries

I search in vain in the well of your silence

For an answer to my fleeting desires

Louis, one night, just one was enough

For my body to know it's alive

From now on, it's all yours

Lend me yours once more

Let me dream in the curve of your arms

Let me love you like it's the first time

It's 'cause of your skin

I'd give my soul

To the warmth of your words

See my heart catch fire

It's 'cause of your skin

I'd give my soul

To the warmth of your words

See my heart catch fire

Louis, yeah, I waltz on memories

I don't know, I don't know a bigger joy

Than seeing you smile

When the day starts to glow

Louis, please, let's go back

Lose your doubts, lose the façade

I look in vain for noise in your silence

An answer to your absence

Let me dream in the curve of your arms

Let me love you like that first time

It's 'cause of your skin

I'd give my soul

To the warmth of your words

See my heart catch fire

It's 'cause of your skin

I'd give my soul

To the warmth of your words

See my heart catch fire

Listen, my heart crackles with pain while it waits

For your lips to slip it a few hanging phrases

It's for you, my love, that I could yell

Your name, and always my raging 'I love yous'

Yeah, maybe it's raw, maybe it's insane

But what the hell made me fall for Louis?

It's 'cause of your skin

I'd give my soul

To the warmth of your words

See my heart catch fire

It's 'cause of your skin

I'd give my soul

To the warmth of your words

See my heart catch fire

What the hell got into me

To fall for Louis?

What the hell got into me

To fall for Louis?

Did you like this lyrics translation?

m'éprendre — to fall for / to become smitten with

M'éprendre is a reflexive verb that means 'to fall for' or 'to become smitten with' someone. It's a more formal and poetic way to express falling in love than common phrases like 'tomber amoureux'.

In the song, Barbara Pravi repeatedly asks, "Mais quel mal m'a pris de m'éprendre de Louis?" (But what evil took hold of me to fall for Louis?). This elegant phrasing adds a touch of dramatic introspection to her declaration of love, making it a memorable and emotionally charged word.

"Louis" is Barbara Pravi singing about an infatuation that knocked her sideways. She opens by naming it plainly: "Louis, c'est inouï tout ce qui m'arrive" [Louis, it's unbelievable, everything that's happening to me]. The pull is physical too. One night with him, she says, was enough "Pour que mon corps sache qu'il est en vie" [for my body to know it's alive].

The chorus lays out what she's ready to trade: "Je donnerais mon âme / À la chaleur de tes mots" [I would give my soul / for the warmth of your words], and her heart "s'enflamme" [catches fire] every time she says it. By the end she's turned the question on herself, repeating it twice as the song closes: "Mais quel mal m'a pris / De m'éprendre de Louis?" [But what came over me, to fall for Louis?] She never actually answers it.
