Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Crêpes Aux Champignons by Olivia Ruiz from French to English.

He left this morning

I didn't hold him back

He left like it was nothing

As if it was a given, I don't get it

Nothing anymore, I'm letting myself starve

And since I don't feel good

From my window, I scream nonstop

Come on, come back home!

I'll make you mushroom crêpes

Come on, come home tonight

Promise, I'll do all your homework

He left yesterday morning

I decided last night

That while I wait for him

I'll spend all my time on it

I'll take to the bottle

I'll stay stubborn

Today just like tomorrow

From my window, I'll scream nonstop

Come on, come back home!

I'll make you mushroom crêpes

Come on, come home tonight

Promise, I won't touch the dagger anymore

He's been gone for six hundred six mornings

For six hundred six days the neighbors

Have been yelling from their windows

That I have to shut it

They say I'm crazy

That I'm the one who killed him

That my thoughts drift off

That I've forgotten everything

I know that's wrong

So he'll come back, I sing loud

Come on, come back home!

I'll make you mushroom crêpes

Come on, come home tonight

Promise, I won't touch the dagger anymore

Come on, come back home!

I'll make you mushroom crêpes

Come on, come home tonight

Promise, I won't touch the dagger anymore

SONG MEANING

Les Crêpes Aux Champignons is a deliciously dark tale served with a sprinkle of humor. At first, Olivia Ruiz’s narrator sounds like any lovelorn partner: she waves from her window, promises tasty mushroom crêpes, and even offers to do her sweetheart’s homework if he just comes back. Her lively, almost childish bargaining feels light… until you notice the knife she keeps vowing to put away.

As the verses pile up, we learn he has been gone for 606 mornings. Neighbors shout that she is crazy, that she is the one who “did him in,” but she refuses to accept it. The repeated chorus—part nursery rhyme, part haunting refrain—shows a woman trapped between denial and guilt, clinging to mundane comforts while her mind unravels. This contrast of cozy domesticity and chilling obsession makes the song a witty, unsettling exploration of love, loss, and the thin line between devotion and madness.
