Comme Des Enfants Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

“Comme Des Enfants” (“Like Children”) sweeps us into a delicate love triangle where feelings are criss-crossed and tangled. Béatrice Martin, the Canadian voice behind Cœur de Pirate, admits she has become a “casse-tête” – a puzzle – as her heart drifts toward one person while another still holds on to her. The repeated line “Il m’aime encore, et moi je t’aime un peu plus fort” (“He still loves me, and I love you a little harder”) captures that tug-of-war: affection coming from two directions, guilt sitting in the middle, and the narrator unsure which bond to loosen first.

Yet the song is wrapped in childlike imagery that softens the ache. They “take each other’s hand, like children,” smiling naively, pretending that nothing can break their bubble even as their own minds shout, “Stop!” The contrast between innocent gestures and adult complications makes the track both sweet and bittersweet. In short, “Comme Des Enfants” is a piano-laced confession about loving boldly, fearing loss, and longing for the simple certainty we had when we were kids – before love became such a beautiful mess.
