Dommage Lyrics in English Bigflo & Oli

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dommage by Bigflo & Oli from French to English.
Louis takes the bus, like every morning
He bumps into that same girl, with her sweet perfume
He hopes every day she'll come talk to him
What he feels deep inside, that's what we call love
But Louis, he's shy and she, she's so pretty
He doesn't want to go, he's stuck to the back of his seat
Once, she smiled at him when she got off
And since that day, he never saw her again
He should've gone, he should've done it, believe me
We all said: it's a shame, it's a shame
Maybe it's the last time
Yasmine has a beautiful voice, she knows she's gifted
In the storm of her life, music is her lifeline
Faced with her melodies, the world is at her feet
But her dad kept telling her, "Get yourself a real job"
Sometimes she pictures herself under the spotlight
On stage getting compliments and bouquets
But Yasmine's rusty, stuck in the routine
Sometimes she sings while she's working at the factory
She should've gone, she should've done it, believe me
We all said it's a shame, it's a shame
Maybe it's the last time
She should've gone, she should've done it, believe me
We all said it's a shame, it's a shame
Maybe it's the last time
Diego's slumped deep in the couch
He yells at his little brother when he walks in front of the TV
His friends went out, he didn't follow them
Alone as usual, the Moon will come keep him company
Diego's sad, he doesn't want to do anything with his night
He's depressed about not finding the love of his life
But my poor Diego, you were so wrong
It was at that party that you were gonna meet her
He should've gone, he should've done it, believe me
We all said it's a shame, it's a shame
Maybe it's the last time
Pauline is quiet, she forgets she's beautiful
She's got spots all over her body the color of the sky
Her husband comes home soon, she doesn't even wanna think about it
When he grabs her arm, it's not to make her dance
She thinks back to city hall, that decision she made
To that afternoon when she'd packed her suitcase
She had a future, a son to raise
After the last dance, she didn't get back up
She should've gone, she should've done it, believe me
We all said it's a shame, it's a shame
Maybe it's the last time
We all said it's a shame, it's a shame
It's a shame, it's a shame
We all said it's a shame, it's a shame
It's a shame, it's a shame
She should've gone, she should've done it, believe me
We all said it's a shame, it's a shame
Maybe it's the last time
She should've gone, she should've done it, believe me
We all said it's a shame, it's a shame
Maybe it's the last time
It's better to live with remorse than with regrets
It's better to live with remorse than with regrets
It's better to live with remorse than with regrets
It's better to live with remorse, that's the secret

SONG MEANING

Cruising through a bus ride, a humming factory, a lonely living room, and a heartbreaking wedding night, Bigflo & Oli turn their song "Dommage" into a collection of mini-films about missed chances. We meet Louis, too shy to talk to the girl who smells like summer; Yasmine, whose golden voice is trapped in assembly-line routine; Diego, who skips the party where his future love is waiting; and Pauline, whose fear keeps her in a violent marriage. After each story the chorus rings out like friends shaking their heads: Il aurait dû y aller... c'est dommage. The phrase means, roughly, "He should have gone for it, what a pity." It is a musical sigh that reminds us how quickly opportunities vanish.

Under the catchy beat lies a rallying cry: take the risk, speak up, chase the dream, walk away from harm. The song’s final mantra, « Vaut mieux vivre avec des remords qu'avec des regrets » – it is better to live with remorse than with regrets – flips the usual fear of failure on its head. Bigflo & Oli invite us to shout, dance, and maybe even book that ticket or make that call before it is too late.
