Tu Me Laisseras Lyrics in English Vitaa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Me Laisseras by Vitaa from French to English.
I knew it when you courted me
I've known it since the first day
You will leave me
You will leave me
My pain is worth all the detours
We know the end but the heart is deaf
You will leave me
You will leave me
They told me love hurts
But who wants a normal life
You will leave me
You will leave me
I slow down but the heart races
I feel it, you're going to do harm
You will leave me
You will leave me
I live in the moment
I still believe despite the time
Our disagreements, but you
You come, you take, you stay, you wait
Until the day you leave me
You will leave me, leave me, leave me
You will leave me
You will leave me, leave me, leave me
I won't come out unscathed
I know it, that's the whole problem
You will leave me
You will leave me
It's written, I read it on your skin
You hide it like a flaw but
You will leave me
You will leave me
Since everything will end in drama
And by playing too much, we burn ourselves
You will leave me
You will leave me
We will go through the seasons
You'll see, you'll see I was right
You will leave me
You will get tired
I live in the moment
I still believe despite the time
Our disagreements, but you come
You take, you stay, you wait
Until the day you leave me
You will leave me, leave me, leave me
You will leave me
You will leave me, leave me, leave me
It was written, the end is already here
You will leave me
You will leave me, leave me, leave me
You will leave me
You will leave me
Leave me, leave me
You will leave me
You will leave me
Leave me, leave me

SONG MEANING

What if you stepped into a love story already knowing it has a tragic ending? That is the bittersweet thrill at the heart of Vitaa’s “Tu Me Laisseras.” From the very first line, the singer admits she saw the breakup coming: “Je l'ai su quand tu m'as fait la cour.” Yet, instead of running away, she dives into the present moment, choosing passion over caution. The repeated refrain “Tu me laisseras” (You will leave me) becomes both a prediction and a haunting mantra, showing how the mind can see the red flags while the heart races ahead.

As the verses unfold, Vitaa paints love as a risky game. She acknowledges the warnings—love can hurt, playing with fire can burn—but still clings to fleeting happiness. Every line contrasts her hopeful “J'y crois encore” with the certainty that one day he will “lasser” (grow tired) and walk away. The song captures that universal tension between reason and emotion, security and excitement, making listeners ask themselves: Would I choose the safe path, or would I chase the rush even if I knew it ends in goodbye?
