Elle Ne T'aime Pas Lyrics in English La Femme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Elle Ne T'aime Pas by La Femme from French to English.
You think back to that girl when she wondered if you were for her
A glass of wine in hand, she puts on makeup in front of the mirror
She's getting ready to go out but she didn't get pretty for you
And I'm the crow bringing you this sad news
She doesn't love you
Bye, beautiful
The wind blows over the plains and life is struggling
You said 'I love you'
But only her smile lingers
After everything she did to you, why do you still think about her
Don't you see she treats you like a stranger
Someone you'd ask for a light
The flame you offered her, she burns it up and leaves right away
And she makes you breathe the smoke escaping from her mouth
You'd like to know she's at home still thinking about you
You hope that one day she'll come crawling back into your arms
Stop wasting your time, so many dream of you
Maybe she loved you once but now she's bored, that's it
Because
She doesn't love you
Bye, beautiful
She doesn't love you
Bye, beautiful
The crows whistle over the plains but life goes on anyway
Forget the hate, keep going, let her take her own

SONG MEANING

Heartbreak can sound surprisingly catchy! In Elle Ne T'aime Pas ("She Doesn’t Love You"), La Femme slips on the black feathers of a messenger-raven to tell a smitten dreamer the blunt truth: the girl he adores has already moved on. While she’s pouring wine, perfecting her make-up, and blowing smoke rings into the night, our unlucky hero still clings to the spark he once offered her. The refrain "Ciao bella" rings out like a bittersweet farewell, reminding him that she now treats his devotion like a stranger’s lighter—use it, then walk away.

Beneath the song’s cool synths and whistle-like guitars lies a pep-talk for anyone nursing one-sided love. Stop replaying old memories, the raven croaks, and look beyond the windy plains of rejection; there are plenty of people who do dream of you. Forget the hate, follow your own path, and let her follow hers, because—sad but simple—elle ne t'aime pas.
