Petite Soeur Lyrics in English Ben L'Oncle Soul

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Petite Soeur by Ben L'Oncle Soul from French to English.
How can I tell you
It hurts me
I'm not gonna lie to you
Despite how huge the phenomenon is
I don't remember
Seeing you zen, no no
You make them run off
Without guessing what bothers them
This stays between us
Living with you is a nightmare
They left you
Yeah, they're all a**holes, yeah
I'd like to help you
I'd like to believe you
But I know you by heart
Lengthwise, widthwise
Crosswise, little sister
I know you by heart
I know you by heart
yeah, little sister
Even Cupid's given up
You've kinda got a gift
For pushing them to cheat, yeah
No, no it's not just going in circles
Your love affairs have a vibe
Of incarceration
When you get going, to be clear
This stays between us
Putting up with you is a victory
They left you
Here, take a tissue, yeah
I'd like to help you
I'd like to believe you
But I know you by heart
Lengthwise, widthwise
Crosswise, little sister
I know you by heart
I know you by heart, yeah
I know you by heart
I know you by heart
Lengthwise, widthwise
Crosswise, little sister
I know you by heart
I know you by heart

SONG MEANING

Ben L’Oncle Soul takes on the role of a protective big brother in “Petite Sœur.” With a mix of humor and honest concern, he tells his little sister that love seems to turn into chaos whenever she is involved. Despite her popularity, every boyfriend eventually runs off, feeling trapped or even driven to cheat. The singer tries to soften the blow with playful teasing, but his message is clear: “I know you inside out, and something in your attitude is scaring them away.”

Beneath the light, soulful groove lies a heartfelt wish. He wants to help her break the cycle, yet he also admits that real change has to come from her. The song is a warm but candid pep-talk that blends brotherly love, gentle scolding, and a reminder that even Cupid has limits when someone’s behavior turns relationships into “incarceration.” Listeners get a catchy tune, a snapshot of sibling dynamics, and a relatable lesson about self-awareness in love.
