Je Ne Veux Pas De Toi Lyrics in English Joyce Jonathan

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Ne Veux Pas De Toi by Joyce Jonathan from French to English.
One night thinking of you again
That's already one night too many
A month waiting for you to come back
I should've lost your number
I've dreamed so much
Of one last drink
I know deep down
I don't like displeasing
You came back
But I'm still proud
I walk by, I quit, I desert
I don't want you
Not here
Not like that
I won't deign
To tell you
The reason why
My turn, I won't risk
Saying out loud what I think inside
No, I don't want you
Not here
Not like that
Like one nail replacing another
I know stories pass
You left without giving me a reason
Leaving me wanting to believe in it
I still dream
Of one last drink
I know deep down
I don't like displeasing
I've got too much ego
I stay proud
I walk by, I quit, I desert
I don't want you
Not here
Not like that
I won't deign
To tell you
The reason why
My turn, I won't risk it
Saying out loud what I think inside
No, I don't want you
Not here
Not like that
I still dream
Of one last drink
I know deep down
I don't like displeasing
I've got too much ego
I stay proud
I walk by, I quit, I desert
Not like that
I don't want you
Not here
Not like that
I won't deign
To tell you
The reason why
Not like that
Not like that
I don't want you
Not here
Not like that

SONG MEANING

Joyce Jonathan’s “Je Ne Veux Pas De Toi” is a sparkling pop break-up anthem that mixes tenderness with a healthy dose of pride. The narrator spends one sleepless night too many thinking about an ex who vanished without explanation, only to reappear as if nothing happened. Although she still fantasizes about sharing one last drink, her self-respect wins out: she refuses to give him the satisfaction of an answer or a second chance.

The chorus becomes her mantra of empowerment: Je veux pas de toi… Pas là, pas comme ça (“I don’t want you… Not here, not like this”). With candid French lyrics and a catchy melody, Joyce captures the push-pull between lingering desire and firm resolve. Listeners are invited to feel the sting of rejection, then dance it away while declaring their own independence.
