Chérie Lyrics in English Von Wegen Lisbeth

Sweet talk hides bitter truths in Von Wegen Lisbeth’s cheeky breakup anthem, “Chérie”. Over groovy indie-pop guitars, the singer describes a dazzling yet exhausting date who tries far too hard to impress: she crushes handshakes, chain-smokes for effect, flaunts eco-activism while snorting coke, and even lectures about gluten. The narrator watches all this with a mix of admiration and eye-rolling sarcasm, realizing that her curated coolness is only skin-deep.

The turning point is hilariously cinematic: her precious iPhone slips gracefully into Berlin’s Landwehrkanal. In that splashy moment he sees perfect closure, whispers “Schöner wird es nie” (It will never get better), and tiptoes away at 4 a.m. on socked feet. The song is a playful reminder that sometimes the most stylish exit is knowing when to walk—or sneak—out of a relationship that’s more performance than connection.
