Laisse Tomber Les Filles Lyrics in English France Gall

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Laisse Tomber Les Filles by France Gall from French to English.
Drop the girls
Drop the girls
One day you'll be the one dumped
Drop the girls
Drop the girls
One day you'll be the one crying
Yes I cried but that day
No I won't cry
No I won't cry
I'll say 'serves you right'
I'll say 'that'll teach you'
I'll say 'that'll teach you'
Drop the girls
Drop the girls
It'll backfire on you
Drop the girls
Drop the girls
You'll pay for it one of these days
You can't get away with
Messing with an innocent heart
Messing with an innocent heart
You'll see how I feel
Before long
Before long
Luck deserts
The one who knows only
How to leave hearts wounded
You'll have nobody
To comfort you
You will have asked for it
Drop the girls
Drop the girls
One day you'll be the one dumped
Drop the girls
Drop the girls
One day you'll be the one crying
No, to pity you there'll be
Nobody but you
Nobody but you
Then you'll remember
Everything I'm telling you now
Everything I'm telling you now
Then you'll remember
Everything I'm telling you now
Everything I'm telling you now
Then you'll remember
Everything I'm telling you now
Everything I'm telling you now

SONG MEANING

Laisse Tomber Les Filles (literally “Drop the girls”) is France Gall’s sassy warning to a serial heart-breaker. Over an upbeat 1960s yé-yé groove, the singer flips the usual love-song script: instead of begging him to stay, she tells him to keep walking. Why? Because payback is on its way. She reminds him that every tear he’s caused will come back to him, and when that day arrives, no one will be there to comfort him except his own regret.

Behind the catchy melody lies a lesson in karma and empathy. You cannot “play with an innocent heart” without consequences; luck eventually leaves those who leave others wounded. Gall’s confident tone turns the song into a playful but pointed reminder that actions have echoes. It is at once a breakup anthem, a moral tale, and an invitation to dance while you reclaim your power.
