Nous Deux Lyrics in English Slimane

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nous Deux by Slimane from French to English.
If you knew my life and if
My heart had told you everything
And if I hadn't lied to you
And if I'd dared to speak and if
My words had touched you
And if you knew how to forgive
Even if it's dead, even if you're scared
Even if I'm wrong, if it's just a lie
When everything around is broken
We're not over
It's only the start for us
Even if we're crazy
I'm begging you, come back
We're not over
It's only the start for us
Even if it hurts
I'm begging you, come back
Us two, two, two
Us two, two, two
Us two, two, two
Us two, two, two
If the photo memories and if
That was us, it was beautiful
And if it's worth whatever it's worth
If you think about me a little and if
You miss me sometimes
And if you need my arms
Even if it's dead, even if I'm scared
Even if you're wrong, if it's just a lie
I cast a spell on us to forget
We're not over
It's only the start for us
Even if we're crazy
I'm begging you, come back
We're not over
It's only the start for us
Even if it hurts
I'm begging you, come back
Us two, two, two
Us two, two, two
Us two, two, two
Us two, two, two
If I had the craft and the way to
Go back in time to
Tell you it'll be alright
If we're only dust, if
Love gets lost, too bad
Us two will be alright
We're not over
It's only the start for us
Even if we're crazy
I'm begging you, come back
We're not over
It's only the start for us
Even though it's so painful
I'm begging you, come back
I'm begging you, come back, I'm begging you, come back
I'm begging you, come back
I'm begging you, come back, I'm begging you, come back
I'm begging you, come back
It's not over

SONG MEANING

Slimane’s “Nous Deux” invites us into a whirlwind of raw emotion and hopeful persistence. The singer looks back on a broken relationship, replaying every “what if” in his mind: “Si tu connaissais ma vie… si je t'avais pas menti…” Each verse unpacks regret, confession, and longing as he wishes he had spoken his truth sooner and asks whether forgiveness is still possible. Yet, instead of drowning in sorrow, the chorus erupts with determination: “C'est pas fini nous deux, c'est que le début” — a rallying cry that their love story can still start over, no matter how shattered it seems.

At its heart, the song is a plea for a second chance, blending vulnerability with stubborn optimism. Slimane acknowledges fear, pain, and past mistakes, but he refuses to let them have the last word. Like flipping through old photos that still sparkle with life, he clings to the idea that love can rise from the ashes if both hearts are willing. The repeating hook “J't'en prie reviens” (“Please come back”) pounds like a heartbeat, turning the track into a timeless anthem for anyone who’s ever believed that “us two” is worth fighting for, even when it feels impossible.
