Jimmy Lyrics in English Cats On Trees , Calogero

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Jimmy by Cats On Trees from French to English.
You won't find him, anywhere
He's gone for good, lost for everybody
I hope to hear from you, I hope one day
Some inspired by you will be better people
I think I see him anywhere
Even gone, I feel him all around us
I wanna sleep standing up, watch you
In these waves I know, I miss you
And if I have to stay the same
Beyond all these words
Would you still want me
Forgive me, forgive us
For this confession that drives us crazy
A long trip right into your arms
And if I have to stay the same
Beyond all these words
Would you still want me
Forgive me, forgive us
For this confession that drives us crazy
A long trip right into your arms
Like a sun under the sea
I search inside me, that sleepy voice
Can you stand up, look at me
In these waves I know, I miss you
Would you find me?
Would you find me as I am?
Would you try with me?
Would you try the best you can?
And if I have to stay the same
Beyond all these words
Would you still want me
Forgive me, forgive us
For this confession that drives us crazy
A long trip right into your arms
Have to see me as I am
I wanna embrace all the pain
And I just want to believe in you
Forgive me, forgive us
For this confession that drives us crazy
A long trip right into your arms
Would you find me as I am?
Would you try the best you can?
Would you find me as I am
Would you try the best you can?
Have to see me as I am
I wanna embrace all the pain
And I just want to believe in you
Forgive me, forgive us
For this confession that drives us crazy
A long trip right into your arms
And if I have to stay the same
Beyond all these words
Would you still want me
Forgive me, forgive us
For this confession that drives us crazy
A long trip right into your arms
Have to see me as I am
I wanna embrace all the pain
And I just want to believe in you
Forgive me and forgive us
Just a call to all of us
All this journey to come back to you

SONG MEANING

Jimmy feels like a heartfelt letter set to music. Cats On Trees and French star Calogero sing half in English, half in French, calling out to someone who has vanished from their world. They picture Jimmy everywhere yet nowhere at all, confessing "Pardonne-moi, pardonne-nous" (Forgive me, forgive us) while begging, “Would you find me as I am?” The bilingual lyrics turn the song into an echoing search through memories, waves, and city streets, balancing sorrow with a flicker of hope that Jimmy’s story might still inspire “better people.”

Behind the tender melody lies a universal message: losing someone can also mean losing a part of yourself. The repeated questions challenge both singer and listener to accept imperfection, face pain head-on, and keep believing in each other. Jimmy is not just about absence; it is a long, emotional voyage back to connection, self-forgiveness, and the comforting arms of those we love.
