Conquistador Lyrics in English Kendji Girac

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Conquistador by Kendji Girac from French to English.
I'm not playing conquistador
You already know how I adore you
You won't like it, mi amor
When I play, it's for the gold medal
When you move without leaving my gaze
On your lips, I imagine stories
If you sulk, don't do it tonight
When I play, it's never random
It's never random
It can start like that
But never end, you know, we don't know
The fire doesn't go out like that
Let's not lie, we already know it
I forget everything when you dance
It's obvious
I've lost patience
Come on
I forget everything when you dance
It's obvious
I've lost patience
Come on
You're not right, I'm not wrong
If I say no, you won't agree
In my heart, you still fly
I promise, I'm gonna stay strong
I'm gonna stay strong
I admit, I'd already given
They'd already taken everything back
I could drop everything
If I'd been told
More, more of you
We could run away over there, you and me
You and me
It can start like that
But never end, you know, we don't know
The fire doesn't go out like that
Let's not lie, we already know it
I forget everything when you dance
It's obvious
I've lost patience
Come on
I forget everything when you dance
It's obvious
I've lost patience
Come on, yeah)
Come on, dance
Come on, dance
I forget everything when you dance
It's obvious
I've lost patience
Come on
I forget everything when you dance
It's obvious
I've lost patience
Come on

SONG MEANING

Conquistador might sound like a battle cry, yet Kendji Girac flips the idea on its head. He tells his partner, “I’m not playing the conquistador, you already know how much I adore you.” Instead of seeking new territories to conquer, he is chasing only one prize: her. Every beat of this lively pop-flamenco track is a declaration that when he “plays,” it is “for the gold medal,” meaning he is all in — no games, no half-measures. The repeated line “Moi, j’oublie tout quand tu danses” (I forget everything when you dance) shows how her movements erase his worries and set his heart on fire, a flame that “doesn’t go out like that.”

The song swings between confidence and vulnerability. Kendji admits he has been hurt before, yet her presence pushes him to stay strong and even dream of running away together. The tension of “you’re not right, I’m not wrong” hints at playful disagreements, but the pull of attraction always wins. In short, Conquistador is an energetic love anthem about surrendering to passion, letting the music guide you, and giving someone your whole heart — medal-worthy devotion included.
