Je Veux Lyrics in English ZAZ

Home / Lyrics Translation / ZAZ / Je Veux

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Veux by ZAZ from French to English.

Give me a suite at the Ritz

I don't want it!

Jewels from CHANEL

I don't want them!

Give me a limousine

What would I do with it?

Papalapapapala

Offer me staff

What would I do with them?

A mansion in Neuchâtel

It's not for me

Offer me the Eiffel Tower

What would I do with it?

Papalapapapala

I want love, joy, good mood

It's not your money that will make me happy

I want to die with my hand on my heart

Papalapapapala

Let's go together, discover my freedom

Forget all your clichés

Welcome to my reality!

I'm tired of your good manners

It's too much for me!

I eat with my hands

And I'm like that!

I speak loudly and I'm frank

Excuse me!

No more hypocrisy, I'm out of here!

I'm tired of the double talk!

Look at me

Anyway, I don't blame you

And I'm like that

I'm like that

Papalapapapala

I want love, joy, good mood

It's not your money that will make me happy

I want to die with my hand on my heart

Papalapapapala

Let's go together, discover my freedom

Forget all your clichés

Welcome to my reality!

I want love, joy, good mood

It's not your money that will make me happy

I want to die with my hand on my heart

Papalapapapala

Let's go together, discover my freedom

Forget all your clichés

Welcome to my reality!

I want love, joy, good mood

It's not your money that will make me happy

I want to die with my hand on my heart

Papalapapapala

Let's go together, discover my freedom

Forget all your clichés

Welcome to my reality!

SONG MEANING

Je Veux is ZAZ's joyful manifesto of freedom and authenticity. With her raspy voice and swinging gypsy-jazz groove, she laughs at the idea of luxury hotels, designer diamonds, and even the Eiffel Tower: 'J'en ferais quoi?' (What would I do with that?). Instead of polished manners and silver cutlery, she proudly eats with her hands and speaks her mind. The song bursts with street-corner energy, turning every fancy gift down in a playful papalapapapala scat.

What does she really want? Love, joy, and good vibes, things money can't buy. ZAZ invites us to walk with her, hand on heart, to discover a life where clichés fall away and genuine connection rules. It's an open-armed welcome to her reality, where honesty beats hypocrisy, laughter beats protocol, and where everyone is free to sing along.
