Place De La République Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Place de la République is Coeur de Pirate’s postcard from Paris, written at the very moment a whirlwind fling collides with reality. The narrator retraces her steps along the Seine, replaying nights of shared excitement that have already begun to fade. Every landmark — from the quays of the river to Porte des Ternes — becomes a checkpoint in her emotional marathon as she questions whether the spark was real or merely a product of their own expectations.

With a plane waiting “demain matin,” she faces the ultimate long-distance dilemma: cross an ocean and rip herself from his arms, or risk staying for a love that might never match her hopes. The song captures that fragile instant when possibility and good-bye coexist, wrapping bittersweet lyrics in a lullaby-like melody. It is a gentle reminder that some romances, however brief, will forever echo in the city streets where they began.
