Si Bien Du Mal Lyrics in English Herve

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Si Bien Du Mal by Herve from French to English.
Eight o'clock, like heartbreak, I'll wait for her name
Seven o'clock, Desert Eagle, no target but sensitive
Six o'clock, as a minor, on my troubles
Five o'clock, by what mystery, I think she loves me
We hurt each other so well, we do it so well
We hurt each other so well
We hurt each other so well, we do it so well
I think it's getting animal
Why do you bail when I want what's good for you
When I hurt you, you come back
Tell me if I hurt you when I do you good
Eight o'clock, outsider, I'll surely listen to you
Three o'clock, neighbor yelling, we're bored to death
Two o'clock, like fifteen minutes, you brake with both hands
Nine o'clock, nothing new no, nothing bluffs
We hurt each other so well, we do it so well
We hurt each other so well
We hurt each other so well, we do it so well
I think it's getting animal
Why do you bail when I want what's good for you
When I hurt you, you come back
Tell me if I hurt you when I do you good

SONG MEANING

Hervé's "Si Bien Du Mal" paints a neon-lit picture of a relationship that thrives on contradiction. As the clock ticks backward through the night — eight, seven, six… — the singer flips between hope and hurt, tracing the roller-coaster emotions of two people who keep wounding each other just as expertly as they fall back into each other’s arms. The repeated hours feel like checkpoints in an endless loop, showing how time doesn’t heal here so much as reset the same addictive game.

At the heart of the chorus, “On se fait si bien du mal” (We hurt each other so well) captures a love that’s half-pleasure, half-poison. He wonders why she disappears when he offers kindness, yet returns when the pain kicks in — a push-pull dynamic that’s almost animal in its instinct. The song’s pulsing beat mirrors this tension, making the listener feel both the exhilaration and exhaustion of passion that can’t decide whether it’s a cure or a curse.
