Pineapple Lyrics in English by Leto
Éméché is a colloquial French term for being 'tipsy' or 'a bit drunk'. It's a more playful and less intense way to describe being under the influence than other words.
In the song, the artist mentions, "Ce soir j'suis un peu éméché, j'ai mélangé vodka pineapple" (Tonight I'm a bit tipsy, I mixed vodka pineapple). This word perfectly captures the relaxed and slightly altered state of mind, setting the scene for a night of fun and perhaps some questionable decisions, making it an engaging and memorable choice.
Leto's "Pineapple" is a high-energy track that throws you right into a wild night out! He's feeling a bit tipsy, mixing "vodka pineapple," and the vibe is all about living in the moment. He sees himself as a "pirate" and the woman he's with as his "trésor" [treasure], suggesting a strong, exciting connection he doesn't want to mess up.
But don't let the romance fool you completely! Leto is also very focused on making "money" and admits he doesn't see a future for them, even as he's drawn to her "yeux bleus" [blue eyes]. He's a bit of a player, openly saying, "Une fois que j'l'ai baisée, j'l'ai oublié vite" [Once I slept with her, I quickly forgot her]. It's a song about enjoying the thrill of the night, the party, and the chase, even if it's clear there are no long-term plans. He even takes a jab at her "vieux mec à la noix" [lame old boyfriend], claiming he can show her a better time than her current platonic relationship.
