Je Te Déteste Lyrics in English Vianney

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Te Déteste by Vianney from French to English.

I am not a musician

I am not a singer

God gave me hands

To console my heart

If I had known

How much you didn't care

I would have killed the hope

Of being able to take you away

I am not made of sugar

I am not made of salt

But I smell of love

Even under my armpits

If I had a voice

And the right mustache

To be played on Nova

You would come back soon

When I think about it, nothing heals it

The gap you left

It's true that when I think about it

I have to move forward

The session is over, I know, so

So I let my fingers go on my keyboard

I come to slap my strings rather than your *ss

I scream with all my being on a piece of wood

Rather than in your ears that only listen to you

H A T E

Hate you

H A T E

And you're not the finest

No, you're not the craziest

When you want to play it like

It's like and will remain like

Like what you are not

But what you showed me

You can change your path

But not who you are

When I think about it, nothing heals it

The gap you left

It's true that when I think about it

I have to move forward

The session is over, I know, so

So I let my fingers go on my keyboard

I come to slap my strings rather than your *ss

I scream with all my being on a piece of wood

Rather than in your ears that only listen to you

H A T E

Hate you

H A T E

Hate you

H A T E

Hate you

H A T E

So I let my fingers go on my keyboard

I come to slap my strings rather than your *ss

I scream with all my being on a piece of wood

Rather than in your ears that only listen to you

I let my tears flow on a crumpled paper

Where with my hand I write I hate you and then

Would I need to, again, to find my way

Send you threats, a disgusting dead rat?

H A T E

Hate you

H A T E

Hate you

H A T E

Hate you

H A T E

SONG MEANING

Vianney’s "Je Te Déteste" is a break-up anthem where bitterness meets cheeky humour. The French singer-songwriter turns his guitar into a safe punching bag, preferring to "slap his strings" rather than his ex’s backside. Line after line, he admits that music is his only real talent for soothing a bruised heart. By spelling out D-E-T-E-S-T-E, he vents his frustration in bold capital letters, yet the playful delivery hints that he is smiling through the tears.

Beneath the sarcasm lies a relatable message: when love collapses, creativity can stitch us back together. Vianney mocks his own shortcomings as a musician, imagines bizarre revenge plots, then ultimately chooses song over spite. The result is a catchy lesson in emotional self-control, showing how art can transform anger into something catchy, cathartic and strangely uplifting.
