Tombé Lyrics in English M. Pokora

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tombé by M. Pokora from French to English.
If you ever forget our first glances
Everything we said to each other in the back of the bar
If life ever isn't on my side
Doesn't want us, no, doesn't wanna play anymore
We'll lose each other, that's for sure but never for long
We'll find each other again, I'm sure, like child's play
We'll lose each other for sure, but in time
We'll give ourselves to each other, for sure like in our old games
I've fallen, fallen, fallen
I'm hit, bravo my queen you won
I'm only a fool, a fool you should lock up
I've fallen, I've fallen
I've fallen, fallen, fallen
I'm hit, bravo my queen you won
I'm only a fool, a fool you should lock up
I've fallen, I've fallen
If you're ever scared, trust me
I'll take your pain, you'll see, it'll be okay
If you ever doubt, I promise you
To keep on your path the words, the tenderness
We'll lose each other, that's for sure but never for long
We'll find each other again, I'm sure, like child's play
We'll lose each other for sure, but in time
We'll give ourselves to each other, for sure like in our old games
I've fallen, fallen, fallen
I'm hit, bravo my queen you won
I'm only a fool, a fool you should lock up
I've fallen, I've fallen
I've fallen, fallen, fallen
I'm hit, bravo my queen you won
I'm only a fool, a fool you should lock up
I've fallen, I've fallen
If you ever forget, if you're ever scared
It's never over, no, happiness is right there
If you ever forget, if you're ever scared
It's never over, no, no
I've fallen, fallen, fallen
I'm hit, bravo my queen you won
I'm only a fool, a fool you should lock up
I've fallen, I've fallen
I've fallen, fallen, fallen
I'm hit, bravo my queen you won
I'm only a fool, a fool you should lock up
I've fallen, I've fallen

SONG MEANING

Tombé is M. Pokora’s joyful confession that he has fallen—quite literally head over heels—in love. He rewinds to the couple’s very first glances in a dimly lit bar, then fast-forwards through every bump life might throw at them. Even if fate “doesn’t want to play,” he believes they will always circle back to each other as easily as kids finding the same playground. The repeated line “Je suis tombé, tombé, tombé” underscores that dizzy feeling of falling, while “Bravo ma reine, tu as gagné” playfully crowns his partner the winner of his heart.

Behind the catchy chorus lies a promise of unwavering support: he will shoulder her fears, soothe her pain, and sprinkle their path with tender words. Love might make him feel like “a fool to be locked away,” yet he embraces that vulnerability because it leads to genuine happiness. In short, Tombé is a bright pop anthem about surrendering to love, trusting its return after every detour, and celebrating the sweet victory of being hopelessly, helplessly smitten.
