Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Peux Crever Là-bas by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.

I've regained control of my mind

I destroyed the pictures of us, where you're in my bed

I've torn up the pages of our story

And I burned what was left of your Vans

Left in my closet

And who could blame me, you know

You were nothing but a burden

Of rust and ink you leave your STI mark as a gift

And did you count the times spent at her place

Repeating the back and forth

Like the waves that carry me toward the end

You know you don't deserve me

When the day breaks without feeling

I hope you think about me a bit

But you can die over there

It's hard, but it's better like that

Why did I think you'd be faithful to me

You skipped the steps, the beds, out of fear and then boredom

And if the sound of a rolling board moves me

It's neither for you nor our story

It's because we're not two anymore

And who could blame me, you know

You were nothing but a burden

With a heavy gut you couldn't get hard anymore

From too much liquid courage

And did you count the times spent at her place

Repeating the back and forth

Like the waves that carry me toward the end

You know you don't deserve me

When the day breaks without feeling

I hope you think about me a bit

But you can die over there

It's hard, but it's better like that

And did you count the times spent at her place

Repeating the back and forth

Like the waves that carry me toward the end

You know you don't deserve me

When the day breaks without feeling

I hope you think about me a bit

But you can die over there

It's hard, but it's better like that

But you can die over there

It's hard, but it's better like that

SONG MEANING

Coeur de Pirate, the Canadian indie-pop sensation, turns heartbreak into a fiery anthem in “Tu Peux Crever Là-bas”. The narrator has finally taken back her mind, shredding photos, ripping out diary pages, and even setting her ex’s beloved Vans on fire. Every image of their past is erased, and what remains is a mix of anger, sarcasm, and surprising relief. She calls her former partner a “fardeau” (a burden) and, with raw honesty, admits that while she still hopes he thinks of her at dawn, he can quite literally “die over there.”

This song is less about mourning and more about regaining power after betrayal. The repeated waves, the rolling skateboard, and the endless back-and-forth visits to his new lover all symbolize the dull routine of his unfaithfulness. By the end, our heroine stands tall: it’s harsh, she says, but it’s better this way. Listeners are left with a cathartic mix of bitterness and liberation, perfect for anyone ready to slam the door on someone who never deserved them.
