Serre-Moi Lyrics in English Jenifer

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Serre-Moi by Jenifer from French to English.
And break through the walls and the whispers
I get home early, I swear
I love you bit by bit and through wear and tear
Lying to myself alone, no pretense
But if only like before
I love you just as much but not as often
If we need to dance in front of people
Your hands move up but I go down
Hold me
If loving is also holding back
Hold me
I wanna run away
Hold me
Smother me with love before the worst
Hold me
So I can breathe
The TV turns off and everything goes quiet
And I pity you, I please you
And count the cracks if we had to
Above, the stars
Below, everything spreads out
Already the end of the ball
A malaise weighing in the trunks
Since we only leave in appearance
That memories make the suffering
Hold me
If loving is also holding back
Hold me
I wanna run away
Hold me
Smother me with love before the worst
Hold me
So I can breathe
So I can breathe
Hold me
If loving is also holding back
Hold me
So I can breathe
Hold me
So I can breathe
Hold me
Hold me
Smother me with love before the worst
Hold me
So I can breathe
So I can breathe

SONG MEANING

Serre-Moi ("Hold Me Tight") invites us into the intimate push-and-pull of a relationship that is fraying at the edges but still pulsing with desire. Jenifer sings about breaking through walls of silence and routine, promising she will come home early yet admitting love has become a slow erosion. The chorus, a desperate “Serre-moi”, captures a paradox: if loving also means holding back, she wants the opposite—an embrace so strong it almost suffocates, because only then can she “breathe.”

As the TV clicks off and the night grows quiet, the couple is left to face their unspoken doubts. Jenifer counts the cracks, senses the “end of the ball,” and fears that memories may soon hurt more than they warm. Her plea is urgent: drown me in love before the worst arrives. The song becomes an anthem for anyone who has ever tried to cling to fading passion—begging for one last, breath-stealing hug to prove that the flame is still alive.
