Joli Garçon Lyrics in English Lolita

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Joli Garçon by Lolita from French to English.
I saw him but that's life
He didn't recognize me, I couldn't believe it
Yesterday I dreamed he touched me
The day before yesterday he danced with me
my dreams
my dreams
my dreams
my dreams
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say goodbye
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say goodbye
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say goodbye
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say goodbye
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say goodbye
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say goodbye
I saw her, the most woman I've ever seen
You could say he's making fun of me
I'm crazy for you
You could say I'm crazy like that
I'd really like to kiss you
My darling, don't kiss the other girl
My darling, don't kiss the other girl
Pretty boy
I saw her, the most beautiful woman
Pretty boy
I've ever seen
Don't say goodbye
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say goodbye
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say goodbye
I saw her, the most beautiful woman
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say goodbye
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say goodbye
Pretty boy, love me
Don't say goodbye
goodbye

SONG MEANING

“Joli Garçon” is a playful French-language bop from Japanese artist Lolita that captures the dizzy rush of an instant crush. The singer is caught in a swirl of daydreams: she pictures the handsome boy dancing with her, touching her, and never leaving her side. Each line slips between fantasy and reality, showing how one fleeting encounter can spark a whole world of imagined romance.

But beneath the sugary beat lies a hint of worry and jealousy. Our narrator pleads with her joli garçon to love her and not say goodbye, nervously warning him not to kiss another girl. The repetition of her request mirrors the looping thoughts that come with infatuation—hope, doubt, and an almost childlike insistence that the perfect moment shouldn’t end. In short, the song is a bright, catchy snapshot of first-sight love: sweet, impatient, a little dramatic, and irresistibly fun.
