Que Veux-tu Lyrics in English Yelle

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Veux-tu by Yelle from French to English.

They pass each other every day

Like a couple in love

She slightly smiles at him

With a heap of ulterior thoughts

She always watches where he goes

What he's doing in his rearview mirror

But she's never tried

When she doesn't see him one morning she worries

As if he belonged to her a bit in her head

She's never even rolled down her window

He doesn't even notice

Makes you think he's dumb

What do you want, I'm crazy about you

My heart doesn't beat anymore when I see you

You're handsome, you're tall, you're fascinating

You got horses, ponies

Let's make kids

What's the way out for me

My body doesn't move anymore

When I hear your voice

You're warm like a glove

Around my fingers

But your ember gaze is so cold

Never a simple nod

Like a shy teenager at a party

I really love your style, how you dress

I'm not sure that first line would be smart

I'd already like to tell you "I love you" with no consonant or vowel

Things would happen by themselves

I have the flame and the laziness

Tell me there's nobody else

That it's my fault

You're waiting for me to come

I'd already like to tell you "I love you" with no consonant or vowel

Things would happen by themselves

I have the flame and the laziness

Tell me you're strong like that black stallion

Next to that oak

What do you want, I'm crazy about you

My heart doesn't beat anymore when I see you

You're handsome, you're tall, you're fascinating

You got horses, ponies

Let's make kids

What's the way out for me

My body doesn't move anymore when I hear your voice

You're warm like a glove around my fingers

But your ember gaze is so cold

Charismatic, gorgeous jeans

Four-leaf clovers

Under the galloping horses

That man who stings

His equine strength

Has touched my heart

In his plaid shirt

What do you want, I'm crazy about you

My heart doesn't beat anymore when I see you

You're handsome, you're tall, you're fascinating

You got horses, ponies

Let's make kids

What's the way out for me

My body doesn't move anymore

When I hear your voice

You're warm like a glove

Around my fingers

But your ember gaze is so cold

SONG MEANING

“Que Veux-tu” feels like a colorful diary entry from someone who is hopelessly, almost comically, smitten with a stranger she sees every day. She fantasizes about his tall frame, his hypnotic voice and even the horses and ponies he owns, yet she never dares to roll down her car window and speak. Each missed glance makes her heart race, while his indifference freezes her. The lyrics bounce between playful admiration (“T’as des chevaux… Faisons des enfants!”) and frustrated paralysis (“Mon corps ne bouge plus quand j’entends ta voix”), painting a picture of day-dreamy obsession that is equal parts sweet and absurd.

At its core the song captures the thrill and agony of a silent crush: electric attraction, exaggerated fantasies and zero real-life progress. Yelle’s bubbly electro-pop sound amplifies the contrast between her flirtatious confidence in her head and her actual shyness on the street. It is a lighthearted reminder that sometimes the most dramatic romances happen entirely in our imagination — and that courage, not daydreams, is what turns a passing stranger into something more.
