He is different
He changed the game
He's not like those liars
He filled my heart
Travel around the world
In his arms I'm not afraid
I don't feel the pain anymore
When he holds my hand, my hand
And in his eyes I read
That we have things to live for
I prayed at the foot of my window
If it's not him, it's not worth it
What if we escaped
A moment, eyes closed
I chose you as captain
From my boat
There will be waves and storms
But I want us to move forward together
If in the sea I get lost
You will turn on the radio
Make me dance, do it all my life
Don't make me fall, I don't want that
I gave you everything, you shouldn't tempt me
Who looked for it?
Baby, take it easy, take it easy, take it easy
Don't make me bobo, bobo, bobo
Baby, take it easy, take it easy, take it easy
Baby, do baby, do
If you could see
How quickly I made you my choice
Ugh-ugh-ugh, ugh-ugh-ugh
if you could see
What if we escaped
A moment, eyes closed
I chose you as captain
From my boat
There will be waves and storms
But I want us to move forward together
If in the sea I get lost
You will turn on the radio
If only you knew
If only you knew
If only you knew

Capitaine translates to "captain". While it's a common word, its use in this song is particularly engaging and central to the romantic metaphor.

The singer chooses her lover as the "capitaine" of her boat, symbolizing him as the leader and guide through life's journey, even amidst "vagues et des tempêtes" (waves and storms). This makes it a powerful and endearing term of endearment within the song's narrative.

Have you ever met someone who just felt... different? In her song "Capitaine," Lyna Mahyem sings about finding that special person who changes everything. She uses the beautiful metaphor of a boat sailing on the sea to describe her life and relationship. After feeling hurt by liars in the past, she has finally found a man who fills her heart and makes her feel safe enough to travel the world.

She asks him to be the "capitaine" (captain) of her boat, trusting him to guide them through life's inevitable "vagues et tempêtes" (waves and storms). While she has given him her whole heart and is ready to face anything together, she also makes a vulnerable plea: "fais mollo" (take it easy) and don't cause her "bobo" (pain). It's a powerful song about deep trust, commitment, and the hope for a gentle, lasting love.
