Pardonne-moi Lyrics in English Louane

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pardonne-moi by Louane from French to English.
It's eight p.m
And the tears are rising
I'm wondering if I've lost your gaze
Anyway I'm the only one who counts
You've got sad eyes even when you smile
That's what reminds me I'm wrong
And I'd like to tell you it's over
But I start again
So I'd like you to forgive me
Forgive me if I overdo it
I don't know how this works
My eyes keep crying a bit too much every day
I'd like you to forgive me
Forgive me if I f*ck up sometimes
Even if I know nothing surprises you anymore
My eyes keep crying a bit too much every day
My heart stops
I didn't see it coming
Did I spoil the party?
I don't know, I write without thinking
You've got sad eyes even when you smile
That's what reminds me I'm wrong
And I'd like to tell you it's over
But I start again
So I'd like you to forgive me
Forgive me if I overdo it
I don't know how this works
My eyes keep crying a bit too much every day
I'd like you to forgive me
Forgive me if I f*ck up sometimes
Even if I know nothing surprises you anymore
My eyes keep crying a bit too much every day
And if you forgive me
Everything I give you
Is what I've got under my skin
So I'd like you to forgive me
Forgive me if I overdo it
I don't know how this works
My eyes keep crying a bit too much every day
I'd like you to forgive me
Forgive me if I f*ck up sometimes
Even if I know nothing surprises you anymore
My eyes keep crying a bit too much every day
Outro
I'd like you to forgive me
Forgive me if I f*ck up sometimes
Even if I know nothing surprises you anymore
My eyes keep crying a bit too much every day

SONG MEANING

Picture a quiet evening at huit heures, tears welling up while Louane wonders if she has already lost the sparkle in her partner’s eyes. In Pardonne-moi, the French pop darling lays her heart on the table: she sees sadness behind every smile, recognises her own mistakes, yet finds herself stuck in a loop of repeating them. The chorus becomes an emotional mantra — pardonne-moi — as she admits she doesn’t always know how love is supposed to work and that her eyes ‘coule tous les jours un peu trop.’

This is more than a simple apology. It is a raw confession of guilt, vulnerability, and a desperate hope for a second chance. Louane’s voice trembles between fear of having ‘gâché la fête’ and the promise to give everything she has ‘sous la peau’ if forgiveness comes. The song captures that relatable moment when emotions overflow, words spill out without a filter, and the only remedy is sincere repentance. With its tender melody and heartfelt lyrics, Pardonne-moi invites listeners to embrace their imperfections, own their slip-ups, and bravely ask for pardon when love feels on the brink.
