Je T'aime Moi Non Plus Lyrics in English by Brigitte Bardot, Serge Gainsbourg

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je T'aime Moi Non Plus by Brigitte Bardot from French to English.
Je t'aime, je t'aime
I love you, I love you
Oh oui, je t'aime
Oh yes, I love you
Moi non plus
Me neither
Oh, mon amour
Oh, my love
Comme la vague irrésolue
Like the irresolute wave
Je vais, je vais et je viens
I go, I go and I come
Entre tes reins
Between your loins
Je vais et je viens
I go and I come
Entre tes reins
Between your loins
Et je me retiens
And I hold myself back
Je t'aime, je t'aime
I love you, I love you
Oh oui, je t'aime
Oh yes, I love you
Moi non plus
Me neither
Oh, mon amour
Oh, my love
Tu es la vague, moi l'île nue
You are the wave, I the naked island
Tu vas, tu vas et tu viens
You go, you go and you come
Entre mes reins
Between my loins
Tu vas et tu viens
You go and you come
Entre mes reins
Between my loins
Et je te rejoins
And I join you
Je t'aime, je t'aime
I love you, I love you
Oh oui, je t'aime
Oh yes, I love you
Moi non plus
Me neither
Oh, mon amour
Oh, my love
Comme une vague irrésolue
Like an irresolute wave
Je vais, je vais et je viens
I go, I go and I come
Entre tes reins
Between your loins
Je vais et je viens
I go and I come
Entre tes reins
Between your loins
Je me retiens
I hold myself back
Tu vas, tu vas et tu viens
You go, you go and you come
Entre mes reins
Between my loins
Tu vas et tu viens
You go and you come
Entre mes reins
Between my loins
Et je te rejoins
And I join you
Je t'aime, je t'aime
I love you, I love you
Oh oui, je t'aime
Oh yes, I love you
Moi non plus
Me neither
Oh, mon amour
Oh, my love
L'amour physique est sans issue
Physical love has no way out
Je vais, je vais et je viens
I go, I go and I come
Entre tes reins
Between your loins
Je vais et je viens
I go and I come
Je me retiens
I hold myself back
Non, maintenant
Not now
Viens
Come

Did you like this lyrics translation?

irrésolueirresolute / unresolved

Irrésolue translates to "irresolute" or "unresolved". It's a more sophisticated and less common word than many others in the lyrics, adding a layer of poetic depth to the song.

In "Je t'aime moi non plus", the word is used to describe a "vague irrésolue" (irresolute wave). This metaphor beautifully captures the back-and-forth, hesitant, yet ultimately inevitable movement of desire and passion between the lovers, much like a wave that can't quite decide where to settle.
