Habibi Lyrics in English Kendji Girac

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Habibi by Kendji Girac from French to English.
There, when you laugh, when you cry
When nothing matters to you anymore
That's life, don't be scared
Nothing in the world is stronger than the two of us
Who said that flowers
Only grow near their home
There, they'll say it's better
If we split up now, my love
Reason says it'd be better
That we let go, but, my love
I still remember
When you told me
Ya habibi
Ya habibi
We said it was for life
I swore, you promised
Ya habibi
There, when I cry, when I scream
I know you're there
I get lost in the bed
When you're not in it
They told me "Get used to it"
But I only think of you
There, in my heart, it hurts
I can't stop thinking about it
When my eyes shed tears
When things have hurt me
I still remember
When you told me
Ya habibi, ya habibi
We said it was for life
I swore, you promised
Ya habibi
Ya habibi, ya habibi
Ya habibi, ya habibi
Ya habibi
Ya habibi
We said it was for life
I swore, you promised
Ya habibi
Ya habibi
Ya habibi
We said it was for life
I swore, you promised
Ya habibi
Outro
Ya habibi

SONG MEANING

Habibi is the Arabic word for my love, and Kendji Girac turns it into a glowing anthem that blends his French roots with Mediterranean flair. Right from the first lines, he reminds us that whatever life throws at two people—laughter, tears, doubt—rien au monde est plus fort que nous deux (nothing in the world is stronger than the two of us). The track’s buoyant guitar rhythms and multilingual hook invite you to picture sun-drenched streets where cultures mix freely and flowers bloom far from home, proving that love knows no borders.

Dig a little deeper and you’ll find both sweetness and ache. The singer recalls promises whispered for life, yet he also admits the sting of separation when the shared bed feels empty. Rumors tell them to break up, but memories of ya habibi echo louder than any outside voice. It is a song of fierce devotion, celebrating the power of commitment while acknowledging the vulnerability that comes with it. Press play and let Kendji’s warm vocals remind you that true love can outlast distance, doubt, and every storm in between.
