Car Je Veux Lyrics in English by Salvatore Adamo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Car Je Veux by Salvatore Adamo from Italian to English.
Cherche moi si ça te chante
Look for me if you feel like it
Tu feras ce que tu veux
You'll do what you want
Mais vois-tu par la présente
But you see, with this
Moi je voudrais te dire adieu
I'd like to say goodbye to you
J'en ai assez de tes caprices
I've had enough of your whims
Je ne suis plus ton pantin
I'm no longer your puppet
Ce qui pour moi était délice
What for me was a delight
A aujourd'hui goût de venin
Today tastes like venom
Car je veux
Because I want
Je veux aimer au grand jour
I want to love openly
Sans éviter les passants
Without avoiding passers-by
Car je veux
Because I want
Je veux aimer sans détour
I want to love directly
Sans me cacher comme un amant
Without hiding like a lover
Comprends donc que ça m'énerve
So understand that it annoys me
De toujours penser à lui
To always think of him
Pour le garder en réserve
To keep him in reserve
Tu ne le vois que la nuit
You only see me at night
Tu ne me fais pas confiance
You don't trust me
Tu as peur de te tromper
You're afraid of making a mistake
Ce qu'on dit de moi je m'en balance
I don't care what they say about me
Il faudra te décider
You'll have to decide
Car je veux
Because I want
Je veux aimer au grand jour
I want to love openly
Sans éviter les passants
Without avoiding passers-by
Car je jeux
Because this game
Je veux aimer sans détour
I want to love directly
Sans me cacher comme un amant
Without hiding like a lover
Rends-toi compte que l'on s'égare
Realize that we're straying
Dans cet amour clandestin
In this clandestine love
De ce jeu moi j'en ai marre
I'm fed up with this game
J'aimerais en voir la fin
I'd like to see the end of it
De ce fichu labyrinthe
From this darned labyrinth
Nous ne sortirons jamais
We'll never get out
Et mon ardeur s'est éteinte
And my passion has died out
Et je n'ai plus que des regrets
And I have nothing left but regrets

Did you like this lyrics translation?
labyrinthe — labyrinth
Labyrinthe translates directly to "labyrinth" in English. It's an evocative word that immediately brings to mind images of complexity, confusion, and being lost.
In the context of the song, the singer uses "labyrinthe" to describe a clandestine and problematic love affair from which he feels trapped and unable to escape. This metaphorical use makes the word particularly striking and memorable.
