Je Te Pardonne Lyrics in English Gims , Sia

Home / Lyrics Translation / Gims / Je Te Pardonne

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Te Pardonne by Gims from French to English.

You asked me for forgiveness, I pushed you away

I wanted you to understand I was hurting

But you left your scent on the sheets

I'd give everything to be in your arms

And I tried to hate you but the anger's gone

Good memories outweigh hate and resentment

I I forgive you, you know not what you have done

I, I forgive you, now it's time for me to move on

I, I forgive you, you did not see right from wrong

I, and I love you, always in my heart you'll live on

You'll live on

We pass each other without a glance

I don't know what to say when someone brings it up

Our circle tries to reason with us

I think it's time we found each other again

And I tried to hate you but the anger's gone

Good memories outweigh hate and resentment

I I forgive you, you know not what you have done

I, I forgive you, now it's time for me to move on

I, I forgive you, you did not see right from wrong

I, and I love you, always in my heart you'll live on

You'll live on

SONG MEANING

"Je Te Pardonne" unites Congolese-French artist Gims with global icon Sia in a heartfelt dialogue about love’s greatest test: forgiving the one who hurt you. Switching between French verses and an English chorus, the song paints the scene of two ex-lovers who still feel each other’s scent on the sheets yet wander past one another in silence. Hurt and pride once ruled the narrator, but warm memories gradually outshine anger, leading to the simple, liberating refrain: "I forgive you."

Rather than dwelling on betrayal, the track celebrates emotional evolution. It reminds us that releasing bitterness is not weakness but strength, allowing both people to move forward while keeping the good times alive in their hearts. Wrapped in Gims’s smooth delivery and Sia’s soaring vocals, the message becomes an uplifting anthem: forgiveness is a gift you give yourself, and love can live on even after goodbye.
