Drapeau Blanc Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Home / Lyrics Translation / Coeur De Pirate / Drapeau Blanc

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

How do I write you that the days stay long

I admire the sky stretching out to cast shade

And writing to you is saying goodbye, for good

We rocked, bewitched, threw ourselves from one side to the other

To please me, to please you I lured you with trips

Of staying good, and gilded gold

And I abdicate, I give up

I've burned your white flag

As long as the notes ring

I swear we can stop time

And never leave me alone

Never leave me alone

Let's not leave ourselves alone with time anymore

Silence upon silence we kept during confrontations

That we had, that we drew on outside all reason

To flee far from these walls

While we lose ourselves in these invalid paths

Those moments we lose by building emptiness

Of embraces that hold together only by reason

And I abdicate, I give up

I've burned your white flag

As long as the notes ring

I swear we can stop time

And never leave me alone

Never leave me alone

Let's not leave ourselves alone with time anymore

And I abdicate, I give up

I've burned your white flag

As long as the notes ring

I swear we can stop time

And never leave me alone

Never leave me alone

Let's not leave ourselves alone with time anymore

SONG MEANING

Drapeau Blanc paints a cinematic farewell between two lovers who have spun between passion and silence. Writing her last letter, the narrator confesses that their days now feel endlessly long and admits that past promises of adventure and golden dreams were only ways to keep the flame alive. Instead of surrendering quietly, she does the unexpected: she burns the white flag, turning a symbol of truce into a blaze of defiance. As long as the music keeps playing, she believes they can cheat time itself.

Yet beneath this bold gesture lies a fragile plea: "Ne me laisse jamais seule"—don’t ever leave me alone. The song moves between moments of confrontation and wordless distance, revealing the pain of building walls and the emptiness of holding on merely out of habit. In the end, Drapeau Blanc is both a courageous goodbye and a desperate wish to freeze the best moments forever, wrapping heartbreak, nostalgia, and hope into one haunting pop ballad.
