Home / Lyrics Translation / Vitaa / Peine & Pitié

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Peine & Pitié by Vitaa from French to English.

I admit I've got my ego

But you asked for it

You could end up there

If you talk too much

Don't let words slip

And not own up

When I go I go solo

You shouldn't have started

I don't have a tender heart

Get out of my way

Gotta move forward

Heard you're not okay

That's sad

Pity, pity

Pain and pity

Pity, pity

That's sad

Pity, pity, pity

Pain and pity

Pity, pity, pity

Pain and pity

I admit I'm sad

Or I pity you

If it's the same, I don't really know anymore

Not really

And if we gotta call back

We'll call back

Our numbers will probably stay the same, my number and your number

You act hot, you love yourself more than we love you

You have trouble admitting it

Happy holidays and happy new years in plural

For next year and the years to come

Pity, pity

Pain and pity

Pity, pity

That's sad

Pity, pity, pity

Pain and pity

Pity, pity, pity

Pain and pity

You used to say it was family

When you were crying hunger

Since what happened to me happened

You've got new friends

But I don't need you feeling guilty

I'd rather be ignored

There's more to life than your belly button, you know

You've got neither sorrow nor pity

No pity, you've got neither sorrow nor pity

No pity, no pity, you

That's sad

Pity, pity

Pain and pity

Pity, pity

That's sad

Pity, pity, pity

Pain and pity

Pity, pity, pity

Pain and pity

Pity, pity

Pain and pity

That's sad

Pity, pity

Pain and pity

Pity, pity

Pain and pity

SONG MEANING

Peine & Pitié paints the portrait of a woman who has finally drawn the line. Vitaa looks straight at someone who once called her family but disappeared the moment success—or trouble—showed up. She admits she has an ego, yet every sharp lyric is a response to the other person’s hypocrisy. Between biting sarcasm and ironic well-wishes (“Joyeuses fêtes et bonnes années au pluriel”), she flips back and forth between two feelings that sound similar in French: peine (sorrow) and pitié (pity). One moment she feels genuinely hurt, the next she can only roll her eyes and feel sorry for them.

At its core, the song is an empowerment anthem. Vitaa refuses guilt trips, refuses to beg for affection, and chooses to move ahead solo. The repeated chant “Pitié, pitié… Peine et pitié” becomes a rallying cry: you can’t stop people from disappointing you, but you can decide whether their actions will leave you broken or merely mildly amused. With clever wordplay and a rhythmic vocal delivery, Vitaa turns emotional turbulence into a confident statement of independence.
