Saint Tropez Lyrics in English Gims

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Saint Tropez by Gims from French to English.
You won't touch me
Ever again
Don't tell me
Yeah, I know
We say that, yeah
But deep down
That's not what we want
We say that, yeah
But deep down
That's not what we want
Don't tell us your backstory, yeah
There's the accountant on the yacht
I'm hitting the coast
Like a Komodo dragon, yeah
Don't tell us your backstory, yeah
There's the accountant on the yacht
I'm hitting the coast
On the liner, Mama
I pull up in Fendi
I leave in Louis V
Peep the lifestyle
Join the ship
I pull up in Fendi, Mama
I leave in Louis V, Papa
Keep up the lifestyle, Mama
Join the ship, Papa
On the coast
Saint-Trop', on the coast
Liner, left bank
Little dance step like the elders
Transfer to an account
Little dance step like the elders
Saint-Trop', on the coast
In the liner, Mama
You won't touch me
Ever again
Don't tell me
Yeah, I know
We say that, yeah, but
Deep down
That's not what we want, nah
We say that, yeah, but
Deep down
That's not what we want
Transfer to the account
Little dance step
Like the elders
I'm in Saint-Trop', on the coast
In the liner, left bank
Transfer to an account
I take a dance step
Like the elders
I'm in Saint-Trop', on the coast
In the liner, Mama
I pull up in Fendi
I leave in Louis V
Peep the lifestyle
Join the ship
I pull up in Fendi, Mama
I leave in Louis V, Papa
Keep up the lifestyle, Mama
Join the ship, Papa
On the coast
Saint-Trop', on the coast
Liner left bank
Little dance step like the elders
Transfer to an account
Little dance step like the elders
Saint-Trop', on the coast
In the liner, Mama
Mamama
Mamama
Mamama
In the liner, Mama
I pull up in Fendi
I leave in Louis V
I pull up in Fendi
I leave in Louis V
In the liner, Mama

SONG MEANING

Imagine gliding into glitzy Saint-Tropez on a sparkling yacht, designer bags in hand and an accountant already on board to keep track of the constant money transfers. That is the cinematic backdrop of Gims’s "Saint Tropez". The Congolese-French superstar paints a picture of victory laps through luxury: arriving in Fendi, leaving in Louis Vuitton, dancing old-school steps while bank alerts keep chiming. It is a toast to the sweet life on the Côte d’Azur, where success is flaunted as casually as a new pair of sunglasses.

Yet beneath the champagne bubbles lies a hint of disillusion. The recurring line "On dit ça, ouais, mais dans le fond c’est pas ce qu’on veut" (We say that, yeah, but deep down it is not what we want) reveals a tug-of-war between surface glamour and deeper desires. By repeating "Tu ne me toucheras plus jamais" (You will never touch me again), Gims hints at past wounds and guarded emotions that even luxury cannot heal. The song becomes both a victory parade and a quiet confession, inviting listeners to groove along while questioning what real fulfillment looks like.
