Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Bourgeoisie Des Sensations by Calogero from French to English.

There's you and me

And the desire you have for her

The problem is I don't know anymore

Which one of us you get pretty for

You say my love stays

But you feel unfaithful

It's clear right away that despite yourself

Her womanly looks give you wings

You say you live the bourgeoisie of sensations

Never choosing between man and woman

Maybe that's got some good

The thing that's wrong with me

Is my heart belongs to you

And knowing you're naked in her arms

I won't stand it

It's true I chose

To love you without knowing

Whether the man or the woman

Was the body you wanted

It's true I've always loved you

Without making a fuss

Without asking why

I still kept hope

Outro

You say you live the bourgeoisie of sensations

Never choosing between man and woman

Outro

Maybe that's got some good

The thing that's wrong with me

Is my heart belongs to you

And knowing you're naked in her arms

I won't stand it

I was the first guy

And deep down I liked it

Thinking that before me in your heart

No man had caused any damage

But I'd never have believed

That a simple f*ck story

Would threaten all those plans

We had in sight

You say you live the bourgeoisie of sensations

Never choosing between man and woman

Maybe that's got some good

The thing that's wrong with me

Is my heart belongs to you

And knowing you're naked in her arms

I won't stand it

You say you live the bourgeoisie of sensations

Never choosing between man and woman

Maybe that's got some good

That she turns you on

I won't change you

Between her and me

You'll have to choose

SONG MEANING

La Bourgeoisie Des Sensations drops us right into a love triangle that is anything but ordinary. The singer speaks to his partner, a woman who openly admits she is fascinated by both men and women. While he’s hopelessly in love with her, she savors the thrill of keeping her options open, claiming she is living in the “bourgeoisie of sensations”—a comfortable, privileged state where she refuses to choose. His jealousy flares as he imagines her with another woman, yet he can’t help clinging to the hope that their relationship will survive.

Beneath its catchy melody, the song wrestles with big questions: Can love really be free of labels? What happens when one person’s desire for limitless experiences collides with another’s yearning for commitment? Calogero paints a vivid picture of admiration, insecurity, and the painful beauty of loving someone whose heart refuses to stay in one place. The result is a modern tale of attraction and identity, told with raw honesty and a chorus you’ll be humming long after the song ends.
