Cœur Poids Plume Lyrics in English Herve

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cœur Poids Plume by Herve from French to English.
Silence is gone
It scares me as much as the noise
As far back as I remember
I can't remember anymore
As far back as I remember
I can't remember anymore
I'm waiting for you on a street corner
I feel the subway rumbling under my feet
Why are you serving my sentence
I can't remember anymore
As far back as I remember
I can't hold myself up anymore
yeah these damn trappings
Showing teeth showing souls
We sow as well as we love
We love we love we love
It depends on the circumstances
I'm checking the stitches
I'm gluing the tiny pieces of you
The tiny pieces of you lying around here and there
Sometimes mom, right now it hurts
How do we do it how do we heal
Tell me, the pulse doesn't beat anymore, my heart's featherweight
Tell me, I'll love you if you don't love me anymore
Promise, I'll love you if you don't love me anymore
My heart's featherweight
Featherweight heart
Featherweight heart
Featherweight heart
The network doesn't respond anymore
Why does the ego slip away all at once
As far back as I remember
I can't remember anymore
As far back as I remember
I can't remember anymore
Always hating breakups
How beautiful the rage that pulses in their voice
As far back as I remember, one day I knew
Why I'd die for you, I don't remember anymore
I'm taking stock of the cross-outs
I'm gluing the tiny pieces of you
The tiny pieces of you lying around here and there
I don't know how to jump off a train that's derailing
How do we do it how do we heal
Tell me, the pulse doesn't beat anymore, my heart's featherweight
Tell me, I'll love you if you don't love me anymore
Promise, I'll love you if you don't love me anymore
My heart's featherweight
Featherweight heart
Featherweight heart
Featherweight heart
My heart's featherweight
Featherweight heart
Featherweight heart
Featherweight heart
The heart
Featherweight heart
Featherweight heart
Featherweight heart
Featherweight heart

SONG MEANING

“Cœur Poids Plume” – literally “Feather-Weight Heart” – is Hervé’s poetic plunge into that dizzy moment when a relationship has cracked but the feelings are still fluttering around. The singer paces a city street, hearing the metro rumble beneath his feet while memories blur in and out of focus. Silence frightens him as much as noise, and he keeps repeating “Aussi loin que je me souvienne, j’me souviens plus” (“As far back as I remember, I don’t remember anymore”), showing how heartbreak can scramble time itself. Between the hum of the city and the static in his mind, he tries to “re-glue the little bits of you” like someone piecing together a broken photograph, yet every attempt reminds him of just how fragile – how feather-light – his heart now feels.

Despite the pain, there’s a strange buoyancy in the refrain “J’ai le cœur poids plume”. A feather is delicate but it also floats, and Hervé hints that vulnerability can become a kind of freedom. His promise “Je t’aimerai si tu m’aimes plus” (“I’ll love you if you love me no more”) sounds contradictory, yet it captures the messy after-shocks of love: fear, hope, resentment, tenderness – all pulsing to an electronic beat that echoes a racing, then faltering, heartbeat. In short, the song is a neon-lit confession of trying to heal, trying to remember, and discovering that a heart can be light enough to drift away or strong enough to rise again.
