Adieu Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Home / Lyrics Translation / Coeur De Pirate / Adieu

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Adieu by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.

You laugh so badly, you laugh at emptiness

Wine stains on your shirt

With two busted buttons

On your body that pushed me away

You make love in two thrusts

Blaming the lack and the tour

And while you articulate yourself

I sigh and you

Threaten to leave

Because I scream

When you sing your memories

darling

Get out

'Cause you know nothing matters to me anymore

But say goodbye tomorrow

But say goodbye on the way

Go see the others, I don't care

I loved you but I swear it's the end

Do you think you can finally tell me

That you'd like us to stay friends

No that's sweet, I'm good like that

Friends, I've already got plenty

So I won't have to hear you anymore

Coming in at night when I'm waiting for dawn

That shows up shoving the hours

I get up and you

Threaten to leave

Because I scream

When you sing your memories

darling

Get out

'Cause you know nothing matters to me anymore

But say goodbye tomorrow

But say goodbye on the way

Go see the others, I don't care

I loved you but I swear it's the end

But say goodbye tomorrow

But say goodbye on the way

Go see the others, I don't care

I loved you but I swear it's the end

SONG MEANING

Adieu is a breakup anthem wrapped in piano pop sweetness, yet its lyrics hit like a blunt truth serum. Béatrice Martin sketches her soon-to-be ex as a sloppy late-night visitor: wine-stained shirt, buttons missing, rushed lovemaking, and barroom tales nobody asked for. Each detail drips with eye-rolling impatience, setting the stage for the moment her tolerance finally runs out.

When the chorus lands she takes back control. With a breezy Prends donc la porte (“go on, take the door”) she rejects nostalgia, friendship offers, and every half-hearted memory the singer tries to belt out. The message is clear: she loved him, but the story ends here. Adieu turns the simple word “goodbye” into a badge of self-respect, reminding us that closing the door can be the most liberating act of all.
