Plan À Trois Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Plan À Trois by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.
Another morning when you leave
The door closes and you won't be back till tonight
You leave only a stain on my sheets
That's the effect you have on my life
I know, I've got yesterday's tides
In my blood, it soothes me
This back-and-forth you do, I know it
That you live between me and her
But you'll go back there, it'll be the last time
That my heart will be part of your threesome plan
But when you're on top of her and you think of me
Your love triangle, I won't get tired of it
Your threesome plan
no, I won't get tired of it
Your threesome plan
I won't get tired of it
Your threesome plan
My thoughts sway toward fear
Your lies live in me and I see only decoys
You dance even better in her arms
I only walk in her footsteps
I smell the fumes of yesterday
That abandon my advice
This back-and-forth we draw, you know it
I'm fed up with you and her
But you'll go back there, it'll be the last time
That my heart will be part of your threesome plan
But when you're on top of her and you think of me
Your love triangle, I won't get tired of it
Your threesome plan
no, I won't get tired of it
Your threesome plan
I won't get tired of it
Your threesome plan
no, I won't get tired of it
Your threesome plan
I won't get tired of it
Your threesome plan

SONG MEANING

“Plan À Trois” catapults us into the bittersweet whirl of a love triangle where passion and jealousy tango all night long. Singing in French, Canadian artist Cœur de Pirate addresses a partner who splits his time—and his sheets—between her and another woman. Each morning, he slips out, leaving only a “stain in her sheets” and a storm of mixed emotions. She is both soothed by the lingering traces of last night’s intimacy and tormented by thoughts of him dancing in someone else’s arms. The result is a cocktail of desire, resentment, and a hint of self-destructive fascination.

Despite vowing that his next rendezvous will be the “last time” her heart joins this steamy strategy, she admits she cannot quite quit the thrill. The chorus flips between defiance and obsession: “Ton plan à trois, je ne m’en lasserai pas” (“Your threesome plan, I won’t get tired of it”). This push-pull dynamic captures the song’s core message—how love can blur into addiction when temptation and insecurity collide. Underneath the sultry melody lies a modern cautionary tale about knowing you deserve better while still craving the fire that might burn you. Listeners are left swaying between empowerment and surrender, just like the singer herself.
