Berceuse Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Home / Lyrics Translation / Coeur De Pirate / Berceuse

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

Dream after dream, I miss you

And the pains don't disappear

And day after day, I dream

Of gently running to you

But you don't know me anymore

After that wrong, I really lost you

And she stands by your side

While I forget your kisses

And without suffering I laugh about it

My regrets stay in his bed

And without laughing I suffer

'Cause he took my last breath

Wrong after wrong, I stall

And my tears won't bring you back

And blow after blow I deal

He won't let me go

He doesn't really know me

And you aren't looking for me right now

Yet I'm searching why I left you

Only for a while that evening

And without suffering I laugh about it

My regrets stay in his bed

And without laughing I suffer

'Cause he took my last breath

And without suffering I laugh about it

My regrets stay in his bed

And without laughing I suffer

'Cause he took my last breath

SONG MEANING

“Berceuse” may translate to “lullaby,” yet Coeur de Pirate turns the idea on its head. Instead of a soothing bedtime tune, she delivers a bittersweet confession of regret and sleepless longing. The singer drifts from dream to dream, replaying the moment she let her lover slip away, only to wake and realize he is now held by someone else. Every line circles back to that aching contrast: she laughs without hurting and yet hurts without laughing, capturing the strange mix of numbness and sharp pain that follows a breakup.

In this emotional spiral, time moves in small, repeated steps—day after day, wrong after wrong, blow after blow. Tears will not bring him back, and each fresh regret feels like another wave pulling her farther from shore. Still, the song’s gentle melody acts like a cradle, rocking the listener through sorrow toward acceptance. “Berceuse” is a lullaby for the broken-hearted: soft enough to sing you to sleep, honest enough to remind you why you cannot rest.
