You, you pass the time
Doubling your efforts
And way too often
In this gold rush
And you forget yourself
And you forget me
You don't wanna leave
Heart shut to life
You'd rather give
All your love, and say
That it could still come in handy
And I just keep talking, talking, talking, talking about you
Your name I shouted, shouted, shouted from every rooftop
And it means nothing, no
As long as you don't hear me
And I just keep talking, talking, talking, talking about you
Your name I shouted, shouted, shouted from every rooftop
It means nothing, no
no, since you don't hear me
And all my tears, my falling tears
Don't help me at all
One more and I think I'm gonna melt
All alone in my corner
You're just the man of my life
And me, if you forget me
I can't see anything anymore
And when your pockets, your pockets are empty
Your heart stays full
And you've got that shy little look
That suits you so well
It's everything I love and then
Yes, me, if you forget me
I go crazy
And I just keep talking, talking, talking, talking about you
Your name I shouted, shouted, shouted from every rooftop
And it means nothing
Since you, you don't hear me
And I just keep talking, talking, talking, talking about you
Your name I shouted, shouted, shouted from every rooftop
It means nothing
no, since you don't hear me
I only kept talking
I'm totally lost
On the rooftops I screamed
On the rooftops I screamed
I gave it all, gave it all, nonstop
I did it for you
It's true, I only talked
I only kept talking
I'm totally lost
On the rooftops I screamed
I gave it all, gave it all, nonstop
You don't hear me

SONG MEANING

Tu Ne M’Entends Pas is Indila’s heartfelt shout from the rooftops to someone who is so busy chasing success that they forget to truly listen. While the addressee keeps “doubling their efforts” in a frantic “gold rush,” Indila’s narrator pours out love, worries, and even tears, only to feel invisible. The chorus repeats like an echo in a canyon: she talks and talks, screams his name everywhere, yet her words seem to dissolve in the air because he just doesn’t hear her.

Behind the catchy French pop melody lies a simple, relatable story: one person is present, generous, and emotionally rich, but the other is distracted, locked away in ambition. Indila admires his timid sweetness and full heart, yet her own heart is on the verge of melting when she fears being forgotten. The song becomes a poetic plea for attention and reciprocity—a reminder that love is not only about giving, but also about listening.
