Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ze zeggen: "time heals"
Maar denk dat ik nooit genezen zal zijn
Denk alle tijd die we hebben, je leert leven met pijn, yeah
Whine voor jezelf, ook een beetje voor mij
Mami, whine voor jezelf, ook een beetje voor mij
Ga niet weg zonder mij
Je bent all on my mind
Je past beter bij mij
Toute la night
Mon bébé, tu es dans ma mind
Toute la night
J'pense à toi tout le time
Toute la night
Mon bébé, tu es dans ma mind
Toute la night
J'pense à toi tout le time
Ouais, c'est toi qui me donnes la force
Et c'est pour ça tu mérites mon love
Ouais, t'inquiète pas
Je te lâche pas

The lyrics also express a deep attachment to the person they are addressing, with lines like "You're all on my mind" and "You fit better with me." The phrase "Toute la night, J'pense à toi tout le time" in French translates to "All night, I think of you all the time," emphasizing the constant presence of this person in their thoughts. There is a strong desire for the person to stay, urging them not to leave without the singer. The chorus also suggests that this person gives the singer strength and deserves their love.
