Chamallow Lyrics in English Ycare , Ouidad

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Chamallow by Ycare from French to English.
I make up movies
It's not me
na-na-na
She's looking, but past me
na-na-na
He lost it, I'm sure
Behind him there's only a wall
There's even a crack
To hide his wounds
I don't know where to stand
I look up
na-na-ner
I do like water
I take the shape of the glass
la-la-ler
You're at least forty
What're you doing here, kid?
Maybe I got it
Showing off's useless
I'm too old to play that
Boomer
If you stay here
I'll break your heart
Little brunette's got
Freckles
Not even able to choose
Her color
Like like marshmallows
That melt in the subway's mouth
We bicker
Like two marshmallows
Between Châtelet and Trocadéro
We feel dumb
Like two marshmallows
Two strangers on the subway
I get off at Châtelet
Me, at Trocadéro
If it's a dream
Don't wake me
na-na-na
Don't let the subway stop
na-na-na
Any more gutless, you'd die
I've been bugging you for an hour
My stomach hurts, I'm scared
Of what's going on inside
I'm too old to play that
Boomer
If you stay I'm gonna steal
Your heart
Little brunette's got
Freckles
Not even able to choose
Her color
Like like marshmallows
That melt in the subway's mouth
We bicker
Like two marshmallows
Between Châtelet and Trocadéro
We feel dumb
Like two marshmallows
Two strangers on the subway
I get off at Châtelet
Me, at Trocadéro
It wasn't a movie
It really was me
la-la-la
F*ck, I messed it all up
la-la-la
Close your eyes, count to three
One, two, three
The doors close
I'm gone
Like like marshmallows
That melt in the subway's mouth
We bicker
Like two marshmallows
Between Châtelet and Trocadéro
We feel dumb
Like two marshmallows
Two strangers on the subway
I get off at Châtelet
Me, at Trocadéro

SONG MEANING

Chamallow is a playful yet bittersweet snapshot of a flirtatious encounter on the Paris Métro. Ycare and Ouidad slip into the skins of two complete strangers who lock eyes between Châtelet and Trocadéro, each spinning anxious day-dreams about what the other might be thinking. Their thoughts bounce around like movie scenes: Am I too old for this? Is she really looking at me? The pair compare themselves to marshmallows – soft, sweet, a little clumsy – slowly melting under the warm, cramped breath of the underground carriage.

Beneath the teasing banter, the song explores vulnerability and missed chances. The singers poke fun at generational labels (“Boomer”), nervously hide their wounds behind jokes, and wrestle with the fear of actually taking a risk. Just as they finally muster the courage, the train doors slide shut, ending the moment before it ever really begins. Chamallow reminds us how fragile human connection can be: a sugary rush that disappears the second reality pulls into the next station.
