Tu Vas Me Détruire Lyrics in English Daniel Lavoie

Hold on tight, because Daniel Lavoie’s “Tu Vas Me Détruire” is a roller-coaster confession of a man who knows he is heading straight for emotional catastrophe — and keeps pressing the gas pedal anyway. From the very first lines he feels his life tipping into the unknown, the crowd stepping back as if sensing the storm of passion brewing inside him. He stands "mis à nu" (laid bare), overwhelmed by a tidal wave of desire that crashes through his veins and drowns all reason.

The chorus hammers home the grim prophecy: "You are going to destroy me, and I will curse you until the end of my life." Yet the singer cannot look away. He calls this lover his sin and his obsession, a playful marchande d’illusion whose swirling skirt and enchanting song keep him burning like a green tree set alight in midsummer. What begins as fascination turns into unstoppable obsession, illustrating how love can feel both euphoric and fatal, liberating and imprisoning at the same time. In short, Lavoie paints the portrait of a man surrendering to a love he knows will ruin him — and loving every second of the fall.
