You can't live without me, bonita

Bonita, you can't live without me

I'm telling you what's on my heart, trust me, I know what I'm talking about

I watch your back, I'm here, but you don't suspect a thing

Why do you change rooms?

Does my presence bother you?

I feel trapped, I saw you disappear like in a dream

Something's wrong, I see it in your eyes, there's nothing I can do

I see you alone in the corner

What scares you that much?

Look at me, bonita

Look at me, look at me, bonita

Look at me like the other time

When we thought we'd never see each other again

Look at me, bonita

Look at me, look at me, bonita

Look at me like the other time

When we thought we'd never see each other again

You can't live without me, bonita

Bonita, you can't live without me

You're in my arms, in my heart, an imprint

You disappeared long before I could count to five

Why do you change rooms?

Does my presence bother you?

From love to hate, these two things go hand in hand

I express my most sincere feelings to you

But I see you in the corner

What scares you that much?

Look at me, bonita

Look at me, look at me, bonita

Look at me like the other time

When we thought we'd never see each other again

Look at me, bonita

Look at me, look at me, bonita

Look at me like the other time

When we thought we'd never see each other again

You can't live without me, bonita

Bonita, you can't live without me

I know you're avoiding me

I no longer see the flame that used to shine

Look at me

Because I placed my heart in your hands

I know you're avoiding me

I no longer see the flame that used to shine

Look at me

Because I placed my heart in your hands

Look at me, bonita (look at me, bonita, bonita)

Look at me, look at me, bonita (look at me, bonita)

Look at me like the other time

When we thought we'd never see each other again

Look at me, bonita (look at me, bonita, bonita)

Look at me, look at me, bonita (look at me, bonita)

Look at me like the other time

When we thought we'd never see each other again (look at me)

Bonita, bonita

Look at me, bonita, eh

Look at me

Bonita

You can't live without me, bonita

Bonita, you can't live without me

Did you like this lyrics translation?

empreinte — footprint / impression

Empreinte literally translates to "footprint" or "print," but it can also mean "impression" or "mark."

In this song, GIMS uses it to convey a deeper emotional impact. He sings, "Dans mon cœur, une empreinte" (In my heart, an impression/mark), suggesting that the person has left an indelible and lasting mark on his heart, rather than just a physical print. It's a beautiful way to express a profound emotional connection.

GIMS's "Bonita" is a passionate plea from someone who feels their love slipping away, yet is convinced the other person can't live without them. He's pouring his heart out, saying things like "J'te livre c'que j'ai sur le cœur, fais-moi confiance, je sais de quoi j'te parle" [I'm giving you what's on my heart, trust me, I know what I'm talking about]. He's watching her, noticing her change rooms, wondering if his presence bothers her, and seeing a fear in her eyes.

He keeps urging her, "Mírame, bonita / Regarde-moi comme l'autre fois / Quand on pensait ne jamais se revoir" [Look at me, beautiful / Look at me like that other time / When we thought we'd never see each other again]. It's like he's trying to remind her of a time when their connection was undeniable, before she started avoiding him and the flame they once shared began to fade. He's laid his heart in her hands, and he's desperate for her to just look at him again.
