Ma Meilleure Ennemie Lyrics in English Stromae , Pomme

“Ma Meilleure Ennemie” pairs Belgian hit-maker Stromae with the airy vocals of Pomme to paint a picture of love at war with itself. From the very first lines, the narrator calls this person both “the best thing” and “the worst thing” that ever happened. The song swings between devotion and rejection, capturing that dizzy feeling when you know someone is bad for you yet you cannot walk away. Each je t’aime, je te quitte (I love you, I leave you) echoes the tug-of-war between comfort and chaos.

Listen closely and you will hear a modern twist on the old saying “keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” Here, the enemy is the intimate partner who stirs as much pain as pleasure. Stromae’s sharp wordplay and Pomme’s haunting harmonies turn the relationship into a battlefield where affection collides with resentment. The chorus urges “Fuis-moi” (Run from me) but confesses “Le pire, c’est toi et moi” (The worst thing is you and me). In the end, the track is a bittersweet anthem for anyone trapped in a toxic loop: you recognize the danger, you crave the thrill, and you keep dancing on the edge of goodbye.
