À Peu Près Lyrics in English Pomme

Home / Lyrics Translation / Pomme / À Peu Près

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song À Peu Près by Pomme from French to English.

I remember your poems

And the light in your eyes

I remember your "I love you"s

That you tossed like wishes

Did you ever want us to sow

Petals and happy days?

Or did you know all the problems

Did you throw the dice into the fire?

Into the fire

It was gold, you know

Our story was like gold

And if ever

If I get through more or less

Don't worry, sooner or later I'll find you again

I'll find you again

You told me I was yours

That with me the sky's bluer

You quoted Rimbaud Verlaine to me

Told the story of life for two

For two

And it was gold, you know

Our story was like gold

And if ever

If I get through more or less

Don't worry, sooner or later I'll find you again

I'll find you again

Enough of pale loves

And hearts shattered to pieces

Of those songs on the same theme

That have drained all my words

All my words

And it was gold, you know

Our story was like gold

And if ever

If I get through more or less

Don't worry, sooner or later I'll find you again

I'll find you again

SONG MEANING

À Peu Près is Pomme’s shimmering postcard from a love that felt like pure gold, yet slipped through her fingers. She recalls glowing eyes, whispered je t’aimes, and lofty quotes from French poets Rimbaud and Verlaine. Those memories sparkle, but questions loom: was the dream ever meant to last, or were the dice thrown straight into the fire? The title itself means “roughly” or “approximately,” capturing the hazy state between heartbreak and healing.

Despite the cracks, Pomme’s voice carries a stubborn hope. If she can make it out à peu près intact, she promises to find that special someone again. The song is both a farewell to “pale loves” and an ode to the golden, once-in-a-lifetime feeling she refuses to forget—making it a bittersweet anthem for anyone who believes love can be lost, but never entirely extinguished.
