Je Ne Sais Pas Lyrics in English Joyce Jonathan

Ever stood on the edge of saying I love you and felt your tongue tie itself in knots? In "Je Ne Sais Pas," French singer-songwriter Joyce Jonathan puts that jumble of emotions to music. She is irresistibly drawn to someone whose kisses are “des délices,” yet whose pride and whims make her wonder où ça nous mène—where is this taking us? Torn between passion and prudence, she admits Je ne sais pas comment te dire because one wrong word could “foutre en l’air” (blow up) everything. The repeated chorus mirrors the circular thoughts of anyone afraid of wrecking a fragile almost-love.

By the second half, the song turns into a tug-of-war between certainty and doubt. One moment she wants tout de toi—faults, flaws, and all; the next she questions whether it was ever real. This push-pull captures the modern dilemma of defining a relationship: friend, lover, something more? Joyce’s gentle voice and acoustic pop melody keep the mood light, but the lyrics reveal a relatable inner storm. It is a sweet reminder that sometimes the hardest words to say in any language are simply “I feel.”
