Home / Lyrics translation / Oxmo Puccino / Trop D'amour

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Trop D'amour by Oxmo Puccino from French to English.

Tel un soleil sans abat-jour

Like a sun without a lampshade

Pire que pas d'amour

Worse than no love

Trop d'amour

Too much love

Pourquoi ce p'tit problème?

Why this little problem?

Parfois victime de ceux qu'on aime

Sometimes a victim of those we love

À tout donner tu as souffert

By giving everything, you suffered

Oui, trop donner c'est l'contraire

Yes, giving too much is the opposite

Rien n'est du hasard

Nothing is by chance

L'héritage c'est l'bazar!

The legacy is a mess!

Le désir miné, le sexe c'est l'appât

Desire undermined, sex is the bait

L'amour a ses limites que le chagrin n'a pas

Love has its limits that sorrow doesn't

Trop d'amour

Too much love

Pire que pas assez

Worse than not enough

Trop d'amour

Too much love

Pire que pas

Worse than nothing

Qui aime bien châtie bien

Tough love

J'en ai parlé à mon chien

I talked about it to my dog

Il s'est mis à me mordre comme un amour parisien

He started biting me like a Parisian love

Il criait, elle l'aimait

He was screaming, she loved him

Les bleus n'ont pas convaincu

The police didn't convince

Tout le monde le savait

Everyone knew it

Alors tout le monde s'est tu

So everyone kept quiet

D'habitude, les gens ne font que parler avant d'avoir su

Usually, people just talk before they know

Par conséquent tout ce qu'on entend manque d'aperçu

Consequently, everything we hear lacks insight

Trop d'amour

Too much love

Pire que pas assez

Worse than not enough

Trop d'amour

Too much love

Pire que pas

Worse than nothing

Trop d'amour

Too much love

Pire que pas assez

Worse than not enough

Trop d'amour

Too much love

Pire que pas

Worse than nothing

Je me tiens loin de l'amour immense

I stay far from immense love

Dès qu'il est clamé les ennuis commencent

As soon as it's proclaimed, the troubles begin

Moins la haine car le cœur est dur

Less the hate because the heart is hard

Néanmoins le sentiment qu'il me reste est pur

Nevertheless, the feeling I have left is pure

Je monte sur scène la ville est inondée (d'amour)

I go on stage, the city is flooded (with love)

Dix personnes devant moi font une salle bondée

Ten people in front of me make a crowded room

Ce monde s'écroule pour l'amour qui manque

This world collapses for the love that's missing

Quand on a si peur il faut qu'on chante

When we're so scared, we have to sing

Trop d'amour

Too much love

Pire que pas assez

Worse than not enough

Trop d'amour

Too much love

Pire que pas

Worse than nothing

Trop d'amour

Too much love

Pire que pas assez

Worse than not enough

Trop d'amour

Too much love

Did you like this lyrics translation?

châtie — punishes

Châtie comes from the verb châtier, meaning 'to punish' or 'to chastise'. It's a more formal and less common word than punir.

In the song, it appears in the proverb "Qui aime bien châtie bien" (He who loves well punishes well), which is the French equivalent of "Tough love" or "Spare the rod and spoil the child". This word is interesting because it introduces a nuanced and somewhat paradoxical idea about love and discipline, making it memorable and thought-provoking in the context of a song about the complexities of love.
