London Lyrics in English by Emma Peters
Dingueries is a colloquial French term, derived from "dingue" (crazy). It refers to crazy, wild, or foolish things, often done impulsively or recklessly.
In the song, Emma Peters sings "Solo, je fais des dingueries" (Alone, I do crazy things), highlighting a sense of acting out or making questionable choices when her loved one isn't around. It's an engaging and modern slang term that adds a youthful and slightly rebellious tone to the lyrics.
Emma Peters's "London" is such a relatable song about that messy, on-again, off-again relationship where you're just desperate for clarity! Our singer is totally in her feelings, asking over and over, "Dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi / Est-ce que tu restes ou pas?" [Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me / Are you staying or not?]. She's done everything, seen everything, said everything a hundred times, and she knows for sure, "Ce sera jamais, jamais, sans toi non" [It will never, never be without you, no].
She's tired of the games, telling her love, "Bae j'ai pas ton temps / Dis-moi ce que t'attends, dis à quoi tu penses" [Bae I don't have your time / Tell me what you're waiting for, tell me what you're thinking]. It sounds like she's made some mistakes too, admitting, "J'ai sali, tout détruit" [I dirtied, destroyed everything] and "Ouais j'ai joué j'ai perdu / J'ai fait TB aïe j'avais trop bu" [Yeah I played, I lost / I did too much, ouch, I drank too much]. But through all the drama and feeling lost, she has this big idea: "on se barre à London" [we're going to London]. It's like she believes a fresh start in a new city is the only way to fix things and get her love back in her bed. It's a fun, honest look at relationship chaos!
