Je Ne Savais Pas Lyrics in English La Belle Et La Bête

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Ne Savais Pas by La Belle Et La Bête from French to English.
There's something in his gaze
So fragile and light, like hope
You, my friend
With eyes of silk
You smiled
But only yesterday I didn't know
She's looking at me, I can feel it
Like a bird
She laid her hand on me
I don't dare believe it
Yet I do believe it
Never before had she had that look
It's the craziest of romances
And this whole story enchants me
It's true
He's nothing like a prince charming
But outside of time
My heart wakes up in secret
Who would've believed it
It's incongruous
Who would've known
Yes, but who?
Who could've thought those two would like each other
It's insane
Let's wait and see how it goes
There's something that didn't exist just yesterday
There's something that didn't exist just yesterday
What
There's something that didn't exist just yesterday
What are you saying, Mom?
Shh, these are grown-ups' stories
Did you like these lyrics?
SONG MEANING

Je Ne Savais Pas invites us to peek into the very first heartbeat of an unlikely romance. The singers notice a delicate sparkle “fragile et léger comme un espoir” in each other’s eyes, something that simply was not there yesterday. Awkward glances turn into shy smiles, and suddenly the ordinary world feels enchanted. Friends whisper in disbelief, yet the two protagonists can sense a hand resting softly “comme un oiseau,” signaling that a brand-new feeling is taking flight.

Beneath the playful back-and-forth lies a universal truth: love often blooms where no one expects it. The song celebrates that thrilling moment when doubt meets wonder, when a so-called “non-prince charmant” awakens another person’s heart in secret. It reminds us that while outsiders may hush the story as “des histoires de grandes personnes,” the magic is real for those who feel it. Listening, we are invited to relive the excitement of discovering something there—a tender spark of hope bright enough to rewrite any script.
