Ensemble Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Home / Lyrics Translation / Coeur De Pirate / Ensemble

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

Side by side our bodies vibrate as we take off

And in these runs with no drift

We fall almost out of frame

And in your laughter that hits harder than the ego that owns you

You cut us down to the impossible inside your torment

And shamelessly you get wasted, you don't get it

Because we had a beautiful story, you won't deny it

But your screams smash the walls of your apartment

To reach my heart that dies a bit more every moment

Because together rhymes with disorder

And the man you are is nothing but discord

Because what you are rhymes with regrets

For my part I've only the ones that stay forever

Head to head you beat me just in time

And when you came back

You weren't like before

And your lies tarnish the man you could be

My wounds open a bit more every time you persist

And shamelessly you get wasted, you don't get it

That you wreck a beautiful story, I won't deny it

But our screams destroy the walls of your apartment

To reach the love that dies a bit more every moment

Because together rhymes with disorder

And the man you are is nothing but discord

Because what you are rhymes with regrets

For my part I've only the ones that stay forever

Because together rhymes with disorder

And the man you are is nothing but discord

Because what you are rhymes with regrets

For my part I've only the ones that stay forever

SONG MEANING

Ever felt a love that crackles like electricity—thrilling one second and shattering the next? “Ensemble,” sung by Canadian artist Cœur de Pirate, dives head-first into that roller-coaster romance. The narrator remembers bodies pressed côte contre côte and laughter that once drowned out ego, yet she watches the same passion morph into chaos. Walls literally quake with arguments, and every shout chips away at a story that could have been beautiful. In clever wordplay, she reminds us that ensemble (together) now rhymes with désordre (disorder), turning the idea of unity on its head.

Beneath the melodic piano lies a blunt confession: the partner’s self-destructive habits and tangled lies have replaced harmony with regret. Each verse peels back fresh wounds, showing how closeness can hurt when trust is missing. Still, the song’s heartbeat is hopeful—it urges listeners to recognize when love becomes discord and to protect the parts of themselves that should endure “à jamais.” Expect a bittersweet blend of vulnerability and strength, wrapped in Cœur de Pirate’s signature poetic French.
