Quitte Lyrics in English Ouidad

Ever loved someone so intensely that the flames of passion ended up scorching the very paradise you built together? Ouidad’s “Quitte” captures that exact moment when a couple realizes they have crossed from love into numbness. Through vivid images—“l’incendie dans notre paradis” (a fire in our paradise), dust that makes her eyes sting, and a silence so loud it “deafens” them—she paints the scene of a relationship on the brink of collapse. The repeating hook “Quitte-moi et on est quitte” cleverly plays on the French idea of being quitte (even) while begging her partner to leave so neither owes the other anything more.

Yet beneath the heartbreak pulses a note of fierce self-preservation. Ouidad isn’t wallowing; she’s drawing a line before deeper wounds form. She admits the spark could return tomorrow, but for now the best way to love each other is to let go. “Quitte” is an anthem for anyone who has looked at dying love and decided to walk away with dignity rather than let the ashes smolder. The song’s smooth pop-R&B production wraps these raw emotions in a bittersweet groove, making the lesson of knowing when to quit feel both empowering and hauntingly beautiful.
