Honnêtement Lyrics in English by Fredz
Fredz's "Honnêtement" is a super relatable song about being completely smitten with someone, but being too scared to actually tell them! He's got it bad, admitting, "J'te kiffe bien / Mais j'crois pas que t'as remarqué" [I really like you / But I don't think you've noticed]. It's that classic dilemma: does he risk telling them how he feels and potentially ruining the friendship, or does he keep quiet and watch them maybe end up with someone else? He's definitely leaning towards the former, saying, "J'préfère encore tout foutre en l'air / Que tu m'présentes ton futur gars" [I'd rather mess everything up / Than have you introduce me to your future guy]. Talk about high stakes!
He's caught between hope and fear, wondering if they might like him back, or if he's just setting himself up for disappointment. He even jokes about writing sad songs like in a bad movie if it doesn't work out. But then there's a twist! Towards the end, he hints that maybe, just maybe, the feeling is mutual: "On pourrait rester potes / C'est beaucoup moins risqué / En plus, c'est réciproque" [We could stay friends / It's much less risky / Plus, it's reciprocal]. So, does he finally get the courage to say something, or will they both keep their feelings a secret? It's a sweet, honest look at the messy, exciting world of crushes.
