Ava Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ava by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.
Ava
I know, you're going out again tonight
His arms will wait for you in the dark
Stronger
Than yesterday at the bar
Ava
You spark envy wherever you go
You scream beneath your Paris airs
Madam
You love without a soul
But I
I feel you
Tremble when he shamelessly takes his time
To say
What he likes
In the others who parade on your pain
Love him if you want
But his laugh leaves a mark
And wounds
You can be reborn if you tear yourself away
From his words, from promises
From lies that hurt
But don't go out if you're hurting
My Ava
Ava
You reread those words nonstop
Three-sentence letters that tear your age away
You know he's a coward
But Ava
He only thinks you're naive
When he kisses you, you come back to life
But he rents his bed
But I
I feel you
Tremble when he shamelessly takes his time
To say
What he likes
In the others who parade on your pain
Love him if you want
But his laugh leaves a mark
And wounds
You can be reborn if you tear yourself away
From his words, from promises
From lies that hurt
But don't go out if you're hurting, my
But don't go out if you're hurting
My Ava
Hey Ava
Hey, Ava

SONG MEANING

Step into a neon-lit Parisian night and meet Ava, a magnetic woman who turns every head yet hides a storm inside. Coeur De Pirate paints her slipping from bar stools to a lover’s arms, chasing a spark that never quite warms her. Behind the glitter, our narrator watches Ava "tremble," knowing the smooth-talking man has mastered empty promises and three-line letters that steal her youth. The song’s French imagery – from "Paname" swagger to whispered secrets in the dark – invites us to feel the push-and-pull between desire and self-respect.

At its heart, "Ava" is an empathetic pep-talk: Love him if you must, the singer urges, but remember that his laughter leaves scars. With catchy piano chords and tender vocals, Coeur De Pirate offers more than heartbreak; she extends a lifeline. The lyrics encourage Ava – and anyone who relates – to break free from words that wound, rediscover inner strength, and only step back into the night when the hurt no longer follows. The result is both a cautionary tale and a celebration of self-worth, wrapped in irresistible indie-pop shimmer.
