Ba$$in Lyrics in English Yelle

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ba$$in by Yelle from French to English.
I would like to kiss this boy but I don't know how to tell him
Teach me, teach me, teach me, teach me
I would like to flirt with this boy, the last time I scared him away
Show me, show me, show me, show me
Okay!
Start by batting your eyelashes at him
Start by telling him he's cute
Then make circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
I would like to dance with him as if I were his partner
Teach me, teach me, teach me, teach me
I would like to make his heart race when he sees me from behind
Show me, show me, show me, show me
Okay!
Start by batting your eyelashes at him
Start by telling him he's cute
Then make circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Make circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Make circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Make circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Make circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Make circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Circles with your hips
Make circles
Circles, circles, circles, circles, circles
Circles, circles, circles, circles, circles
Circles, circles, circles, circles, circles
Circles, circles, circles, circles, circles
Circles, circles, circles, circles, circles
Circles, circles, circles
Okay!
The weekend in Rome
I make circles with my hips
While eating my apple
I make circles with my hips
When I see men
I make circles with my hips
Circles with my hips
Circles with my hips
When I see men
I make circles with my pelvis
Rounds with my pelvis
Rounds with my pelvis

SONG MEANING

Flirty, cheeky and full of bass, “Ba$$in” is Yelle’s playful instruction manual for winning a crush on the dance floor. The French electro-pop star confesses she is shy and doesn’t know how to flirt, so she turns to her friends (and the listener) for help. The advice is wonderfully simple: bat your eyelashes, tell him he’s chou (cute), then let the music guide your hips—fais des ronds avec ton bassin (make circles with your hips). Each hypnotic repetition of that line feels like both a dance move and a confidence spell, urging you to loosen up and let your body do the talking.

Beneath the bubbly synths and catchy chorus, the song celebrates self-expression and body language as universal languages of attraction. The title itself is a pun: bassin means “pelvis” in French, while the double dollar signs nod to the booming bass that drives the club. Whether she’s spinning in a Roman weekend or daydreaming in front of her crush, Yelle turns flirtation into a fun, empowering game—reminding you that sometimes a simple hip swing can say everything your words can’t.
