Coup Du Sort Lyrics in English Grégoire

Home / Lyrics Translation / Grégoire / Coup Du Sort

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Coup Du Sort by Grégoire from French to English.

Even if we break up

You stay in my life

Even if time erodes

Erases what we said

I'll still keep

A taste of heart and body

And little bits of us like a treasure

Just like a secret that's asleep

A mystery, a safe

Like those weaknesses that make you stronger

I'll carve into my memory

Like deep inside an old spellbook

Those hours when we never stopped believing

I'll forget every goodbye

I take with me a share

Of the best and a few hours of your gaze

All the fires go out

When we don't blow

When habit rules

We lose ourselves step by step

But I'll still keep

A taste of heart and body

And little bits of us like a treasure

Just like a secret that's asleep

A mystery, a safe

Like those weaknesses that make you stronger

I'll carve into my memory

Like deep inside an old spellbook

Those hours when we never stopped believing

I'll forget every goodbye

I take with me a share

Of the best and a few hours of your gaze

It was a beautiful story

They were lovely promises

But from our 'goodbye'

Let's leave ourselves tenderness

And I'll still keep

A taste of heart and body

And little bits of us like a treasure

Just like a secret that's asleep

A mystery, a safe

Like those weaknesses that make you stronger

I'll carve into my memory

Like deep inside an old spellbook

Those hours when we never stopped believing

I'll forget every goodbye

I take with me a share

Of the best and a few hours of your gaze

And I'll still keep

A taste of heart and body

And little bits of us like a treasure

I'll carve into my memory

Like deep inside an old spellbook

Those hours when we never stopped believing

I'll forget every goodbye

I'll carry a piece with me

Of the best and a few hours of your gaze

SONG MEANING

“Coup Du Sort” is Grégoire’s warm, nostalgic way of saying that a breakup does not have to erase the love that came before it. The song’s narrator accepts that time, routine, and a touch of bad luck have pushed the couple apart, yet he refuses to let their story fade. Instead, he stores “des petits bouts de nous comme un trésor”—tiny fragments of shared laughter, looks, and late-night conversations—in an imaginary treasure chest. Far from being bitter, he celebrates those memories as magical charms that can still make him stronger and kinder.

Think of it as a loving postcard to the past: the fires of passion may have gone out, but the glowing embers remain tucked safely in his “old spellbook.” By choosing to keep only the best parts, he turns heartbreak into a gentle lesson on gratitude, resilience, and the sweet aftertaste of a love that once was. “Coup Du Sort” invites listeners to hum along, smile at their own souvenirs, and trust that even endings can sparkle with tenderness.
