Tango Électrique Lyrics in English by M. Pokora
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tango Électrique by M. Pokora from French to English.
On s'est laissé à coup de larmes
We broke up in tears
On s'est brûlé à trop chercher la flamme
We burned ourselves by searching for the flame too much
On s'est lassé sans crier gare
We grew weary without warning
Les yeux fermés, on a baissé la garde
Eyes closed, we let our guard down
Les mots d'amour sur le miroir
The love words on the mirror
Sont déjà flous, on s'est laissé avoir
Are already blurry, we let ourselves be fooled
On se défile, on se fait la cour
We back out, we court each other
On se rend fou à s'envoyer en l'air
We drive each other crazy by having s*x
J'aime laissé dire, dire, dire, dire
I like to let it be said, said, said, said
Pourvu que ça dure, dure, dure, dure
As long as it lasts, lasts, lasts, lasts
Ainsi va l'amour-mour-mour-mour
That's how love goes, goes, goes, goes
Je me sens venir quand je suis dans tes bras
I feel myself coming when I'm in your arms
Et j'aime laissé, dire, dire, dire, dire
And I like to let it be said, said, said, said
Pourvu que ça dure, dure, dure, dure
As long as it lasts, lasts, lasts, lasts
Ainsi va l'amour-mour-mour-mour
That's how love goes, goes, goes, goes
(Je me sens venir quand je suis dans tes bras)
(I feel myself coming when I'm in your arms)
Come come caline, calina-ina-ina
Come come cuddle, cuddle-uddle-uddle
Tango électrique entre toi et moi
Electric tango between you and me
L'amour qui nous vise, aheya-eya-aya
Love that targets us, aheya-eya-aya
Bang-bang dans le cœur qui prend flamme
Bang-bang in the heart that catches fire
Come come caline, calina-ina-ina
Come come cuddle, cuddle-uddle-uddle
Tango électrique entre toi et moi
Electric tango between you and me
L'amour qui nous vise, aheya-eya-aya
Love that targets us, aheya-eya-aya
Bang-bang dans le cœur qui prend flamme
Bang-bang in the heart that catches fire
On s'est traîné dans les couloirs
We lingered in the hallways
Je me suis penché sur tes reins dans le noir
I leaned on your loins in the dark
Tu m'as mis dans tout, tout mes états
You put me in all, all my states
Des corps-à-corps à s'en mordre les doigts
Close embraces to the point of regret
On a fait le tour, on l'a fait trop tard
We've done it all, we did it too late
C'est déjà fini, on a baissé les armes
It's already over, we laid down our arms
On prend la fuite, on se débat
We flee, we struggle
On accélère quitte à tout foutre en l'air, l'air, l'air
We accelerate even if it means f*cking everything up, up, up
Pourvu que ça dure, dure, dure, dure
As long as it lasts, lasts, lasts, lasts
Ainsi va l'amour-mour-mour-mour
That's how love goes, goes, goes, goes
Je me sens venir quand je suis dans tes bras
I feel myself coming when I'm in your arms
Et j'aime laissé, dire, dire, dire, dire
And I like to let it be said, said, said, said
Pourvu que ça dure, dure, dure, dure
As long as it lasts, lasts, lasts, lasts
Ainsi va l'amour-mour-mour-mour
That's how love goes, goes, goes, goes
(Je me sens venir quand je suis dans tes bras)
(I feel myself coming when I'm in your arms)
Come come caline, calina-ina-ina
Come come cuddle, cuddle-uddle-uddle
Tango électrique entre toi et moi
Electric tango between you and me
L'amour qui nous vise, aheya-eya-aya
Love that targets us, aheya-eya-aya
Bang-bang dans le cœur qui prend flamme

Did you like this lyrics translation?
caline — cuddle / caress
Caline is a charming and affectionate French word that can mean 'cuddle' or 'caress'. It evokes a sense of tenderness and intimacy.
In the song, M. Pokora uses it in the line "Come come caline, calina-ina-ina," which is a playful and inviting way to express a desire for closeness and physical affection within the context of the 'Tango électrique'. It's a less common word in pop music, making it stand out.
