Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Serre Moi by Tryo from French to English.

Ouap pa pa la la, ouap pa pa la pa la la

Ouap pa pa la la, ouap pa pa la la la

Kiss me overboard

Come, my angel, redraw the sky

I will crucify your body

Could I, unpin your wings

Kiss, bite you at the same time

Sink my nails into your burning back

Beg you to come back to me

And do everything, oh everything to see you leave

And come, take me there

Give me your hand so I don't take it

Scrape my wings, fly me away

And let yourself be at peace at the same time

A thousand times let's intertwine

And tire ourselves out even underneath

Hold me tighter, hold me

Until I suffocate from you

There are bastards

Who plunder women's hearts

And women who don't really know

Where love gets its charm

Butterfly from flower to flower

From love to love of the heart

Those who have only one star

Or those who burn their veil

Ouap pa pa la la, ouap pa pa la pa la la

Ouap pa pa la la, ouap pa pa la la la

I love your tears when you love

Sweat, blood let's make ourselves lovers

Who are passionate, who bleed

I love it when my wounded one is alive

I don't give much time

To our tragedies, to our goodbyes

Come back to me, come back to me

You'll leave better that way

By twisting so much

We'd end up biting each other

What's the point of rebuilding

When we're fans of the worst

Despite us, despite us

What's the point of feeling bigger than us

Two grains of madness in the wind

Two burning souls, two children

There are bastards

Who plunder women's hearts

And women who don't really know

Where love gets its charm

Butterfly from flower to flower

From love to love of the heart

Those who have only one star

Or those who burn their veil

Ouap pa pa la la, ouap pa pa la pa la la

Ouap pa pa la la, ouap pa pa la la la

Kiss me overboard

Come, my angel, redraw the sky

I will crucify your body

Could I, unpin your wings

Kiss you, bite you at the same time

Sink my nails into your burning back

Beg you to come back to me

And do everything, oh everything to see you leave

And come, take me there

Give me your hand so I don't take it

Scrape my wings, fly me away

And let yourself be at peace at the same time

A thousand times let's intertwine

And tire ourselves out even underneath

Hold me tighter, hold me

Until I suffocate from you

Hold me tighter, hold me

Until I suffocate from you

Pa pa la pa la la

Hold me tighter, hold me

SONG MEANING

Serre Moi literally means “Hold me tight,” and Tryo turns this simple request into a whirlwind of emotion. Backed by Yannick Noah’s warm vocals and Ibrahim Maalouf’s soaring trumpet, the song swings between reggae-folk grooves and playful “ouap pa pa” chants. Beneath the catchy surface lies a feverish love letter where tenderness rubs shoulders with raw desire: kisses become bites, embraces leave claw marks, and lovers ask to be carried away while begging to be left in peace.

The lyrics paint love as a beautiful contradiction — a place where freedom and captivity dance together. The singer admits that some people loot hearts “like thieves,” while others flutter around like butterflies, never settling on one flower. In this fiery duet the two souls are “two grains of madness in the wind,” holding each other so tightly they almost suffocate, only to separate and start the cycle again. It is a poetic reminder that passionate love can heal, hurt, liberate, and imprison, often all at once — and that is exactly what makes it irresistible.
