Est-ce Que Tu M'aimes? Lyrics in English Gims

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Est-ce Que Tu M'aimes? by Gims from French to English.
I got my smile back when I saw the end of the tunnel
Where will this male-and-female game take us
Male and female
We were so close we smashed our hang-ups
To make it clear you only had to lift an eyelash
You only had to lift an eyelash
I was ready to carve your image in black ink beneath my eyelids
So I could see you even in an eternal sleep
Even in an eternal sleep
Even in an eternal sleep
I was supposed to love you but I saw the downpour
I blinked, you weren't the same anymore
Do I love you? I don't know if I love you
Do you love me? I don't know if I love you
I was supposed to love you but I saw the downpour
I blinked, you weren't the same anymore
Do I love you? I don't know if I love you
Do you love me? I don't know if I love you
To spare you pain all I had to do was say I love you
It hurt me to hurt you, I'd never suffered so much
I'd never suffered so much
When I slipped the ring on your finger I slapped the cuffs on myself
Meanwhile time goes by and I endure your nonsense
And I endured your nonsense
I was ready to carve your image in black ink beneath my eyelids
So I could see you even in an eternal sleep
Even in an eternal sleep
Even in an eternal sleep
I was supposed to love you but I saw the downpour
I blinked, you weren't the same anymore
Do I love you? I don't know if I love you
Do you love me? I don't know if I love you
I was supposed to love you but I saw the downpour
I blinked, you weren't the same anymore
Do I love you? I don't know if I love you
Do you love me? I don't know if I love you
I don't know if I love you
I don't know if I love you
I got hurt flying up, I hadn't seen the glass ceiling
You'd find me boring if I loved you your way
If I loved you your way
If I loved you your way
I was supposed to love you but I saw the downpour
I blinked, you weren't the same anymore
Do I love you? I don't know if I love you
Do you love me? I don't know if I love you
I was supposed to love you but I saw the downpour
I blinked, you weren't the same anymore
Do I love you? I don't know if I love you
Do you love me? I don't know if I love you
I don't know if I love you
I don't know if I love you

SONG MEANING

Ever wondered what happens when the fairy-tale glow of a relationship flickers and you suddenly can’t tell if the magic is real or just smoke? “Est-ce Que Tu M’aimes?” plunges us into that dizzy moment. Gims starts with the hope of seeing light at the end of the tunnel, celebrates an effortless connection where even a raised eyelash was a secret code, then watches the sky crack open with doubts. The repeated question “Do you love me?” becomes an intense echo chamber where each answer is a shaky “I don’t know.”

Throughout the song, vivid images swirl: inky tattoos on eyelids to keep a lover’s face forever in sight, a wedding ring that feels more like handcuffs, and a painful collision with a “glass ceiling” of expectations. Gims paints love as a thrilling game of hunter and prey, but also a storm that leaves both players soaked and shivering. It is a confession of vulnerability, a tug-of-war between commitment and freedom, and a reminder that sometimes the hardest person to understand in a relationship is yourself.
