Ziggy Lyrics in English Céline Dion

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ziggy by Céline Dion from French to English.
Ziggy, his name's Ziggy
I'm crazy about him
He's a boy not like the others
But I love him, it's not my fault
Even though I know
He'll never love me
Ziggy, his name's Ziggy
I'm crazy about him
The first time I saw him
I threw myself at him in the street
I just told him
That I wanted him
It was four in the morning
I was alone and I needed
To talk to somebody
He told me: come have a coffee
We told each other about our lives
We laughed, we cried
Ziggy, his name's Ziggy
He's my only friend
In his head there's only music
He sells records in a shop
It's like he lives
In another galaxy
Every night, he takes me dancing
To very very gay places
Where he has tons of friends
Yeah, I know, he likes boys
I should face it
Try to forget him but
Ziggy, his name's Ziggy
I'm crazy about him
He's a boy not like the others
And I love him, it's not my fault
Even though I know
He'll never love me

SONG MEANING

Ziggy tells the bittersweet tale of an instant crush that turns into a heartfelt, one-sided love story. The singer meets Ziggy at four in the morning, boldly blurting out her attraction before even knowing his name. Over coffee they swap life stories, laugh, cry, and quickly become inseparable friends. Ziggy is a dreamy music lover who sells records by day and whisks her off to vibrant dance spots by night, as if he lives in an entirely different galaxy filled with rhythm and neon light.

Yet there’s a catch that makes the chorus sting: Ziggy loves boys. The narrator understands this, but her feelings refuse to listen to reason. The song captures the ache of unrequited love, the joy of deep friendship, and the courage to adore someone exactly as they are. It’s a charming, poignant snapshot of loving without expectations, set to Céline Dion’s powerful voice and a melody that shimmers with both hope and heartache.
