Les Choses Qu'on Fait Lyrics in English Vitaa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Choses Qu'on Fait by Vitaa from French to English.
Intro
That's life wanting it
Why did you do that to me
Like a piece of glass that time has polished
We go through the trials that heaven chooses for us
On the school benches, memories remain
A smile, a smell, a scar, a gesture
I hesitate, I doubt, I fall, I learn
But nothing ever really erases
The things we've been doing for too long
That's life wanting it
We will never agree
How it will end
Why did you do that to me
We tear each other apart again
We don't even know why anymore
Tell me it's crazy what we're doing, yeah
You see the things we do, yeah
Tell me it's crazy what we're doing, it's crazy what we're doing
You see the things we do
There's a taste of mistake in the corridors of the past
We were wrong
What we admit in half-words, we avoid thinking about
I hesitate, I doubt, I fall, I learn
But nothing ever really erases
The things we've been doing for too long
That's life wanting it
We will never agree
How it will end
Why did you do that to me
We tear each other apart again
We don't even know why anymore
Tell me it's crazy what we're doing, yeah
You see the things we do, yeah
Tell me it's crazy what we're doing, it's crazy what we're doing
You see the things we do
Tell me it's crazy what we're doing, yeah
You see the things we do, yeah
Tell me it's crazy what we're doing, it's crazy what we're doing
You see the things we do
It wasn't planned, all the harm we've done to each other
If everything started there, we erase, we redo
That's life wanting it
We will never agree
How it will end
Why did you do that to me
We tear each other apart again
We don't even know why anymore
Tell me it's crazy what we're doing, yeah
You see the things we do, yeah
Tell me it's crazy what we're doing, it's crazy what we're doing
You see the things we do
Tell me it's crazy what we're doing, yeah
You see the things we do, yeah
Tell me it's crazy what we're doing, it's crazy what we're doing
You see the things we do

SONG MEANING

“Les Choses Qu’on Fait” turns everyday heartbreak into a reflective diary. Vitaa describes a relationship that has drifted into a cycle of arguments, regrets, and unanswered questions. She looks back on schoolyard memories, lingering scents, and tiny scars to show how past moments embed themselves in the present. Each line paints the feeling of holding a piece of glass that time has polished: even if the edges feel smoother, the shard still belongs to something broken.

At its core the song asks: Why do we keep repeating the same mistakes? Vitaa sings about doubting, falling, learning, then falling again—illustrating how love and life often spin in loops. The refrain “C’est fou c’qu’on fait” (“It’s crazy what we do”) highlights the bewilderment of fighting without remembering the reason. Rather than offering neat solutions, the song accepts that some questions linger, some wounds stay visible, and some choices become part of who we are.
