Larme Fatale Lyrics in English Julien Doré , Eddy de Pretto

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Larme Fatale by Julien Doré from French to English.
On my lips, arguments and kisses
I know, it took me a while to find you
I put the gloves back on to come touch you
In the middle of torrents of mediocrity
If the rain sets in, come onto my pillow
I've got the fatal tear but I haven't forgotten a thing, you know
Everything's uncertain and everything's scattered
I sold my soul before bargaining
Life ain't pretty
Life ain't pretty
Take me by the hand and tell me if I can touch bottom
In case I swallow a bit of their ideas
Life hurts me with its dice rolls
Dying ain't a big deal
Everybody does it
Life ain't pretty
Life ain't pretty
Life ain't pretty
She ain't bella
Life ain't pretty
She ain't bella
Life ain't pretty
She ain't bella
Life ain't pretty
She ain't bella
Hmm
If hearts are dirty, they need cleaning
We douse the flame with salt water
At night I'm tall and by day I'm ugly
Let's leave long before the sun's gone down
Life ain't pretty
Life ain't pretty
Life ain't pretty
She ain't bella
Life ain't pretty
She ain't bella
Life ain't pretty
She ain't bella
Life ain't pretty
She ain't bella
She ain't bella

SONG MEANING

“Larme Fatale” (“Lethal Tear”) pairs Julien Doré’s dreamy pop style with Eddy de Pretto’s raw edge to paint a bittersweet picture of modern love and disillusionment. The narrator steps into the song wearing both boxing gloves and tender kisses—ready to fight through “torrents of mediocrity” yet longing for genuine connection. His “fatal tear” is a poetic weapon: emotion powerful enough to cut through cynicism while revealing how fragile he really feels.

The hook “Elle est pas belle la vie” (“Life isn’t beautiful”) rings out like a weary mantra, but it is wrapped in warmth and irony. Amid rainy nights, salty tears, and dice-roll chances, the singer still reaches for a hand to hold, invites a lover onto his “pillow,” and dreams of escaping before sunrise. The message: life can bruise us with bad luck and empty ideas, yet vulnerability, honesty, and shared refuge turn even the ugliest moments into something defiantly alive.
