Où Est Ma Tête? Lyrics in English Pink Martini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Où Est Ma Tête? by Pink Martini from French to English.
I've lost my head
On Saint-Honoré Street
I've looked here and there
I haven't found it
Tell me
Where's my head?
I've lost my arms
At Opéra Square
I didn't find them
I've looked here and there
Tell me
Where are my arms?
Since I lost you
I'm in pieces on the avenue
And I can't glue back
The pieces by myself
Fix me, my dearest
Because I'm not whole
I need you, only you
And besides, I love you
I've lost my nose
In front of Le Bon Marché
I've looked here and there
I didn't find it
Tell me
Where's my nose?
Come back, darling, to me
My nose doesn't matter
You're the one who can complete me
Since I lost you
I'm in pieces on the avenue
And I can't glue back
The pieces by myself
Fix me, my dearest
Because I'm not whole
I need you
And besides, I love you
I've lost my feet
In Saint-Germain-des-Prés
I've looked here and there
I didn't find them
Tell me
Where are my feet?
Come back, darling, to me
My feet don't matter
You're the one who can complete me

SONG MEANING

“Où Est Ma Tête?” whisks us through the streets of Paris on a delightfully absurd treasure hunt. The narrator has literally misplaced pieces of her body—her head on Rue Saint-Honoré, her arms at Place de l’Opéra, her nose outside Le Bon Marché, and even her feet in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. These playful images paint Paris as a giant lost-and-found while giving listeners a fun vocabulary tour of the city’s most iconic spots.

Beneath the whimsy lies a sincere confession: each missing part symbolizes how shattered she feels after a breakup. Only her beloved can “re-assemble” her, making the song a charming blend of slapstick comedy and heartfelt longing. Pink Martini, the eclectic band from the United States, turns heartbreak into a jaunty, accordion-kissed stroll that reminds us love can leave us in pieces, but it can also put us back together.
