Mon héroïne
Fréro Delavega Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seul dans la foule je me faufile
Ne m'attend plus je me défile
Dans tout ce flou je te devine
Je ne t'attendais plus, OK je m'incline
Non, je m'incline, oh non

Je marche sur tes traces j'aime y songer
Je cours, tu me rattrapes j'aime en jouer
Cet course aux automates nous a fait tricher
Je n'ai plus peur mon cœur, ouais j'm'y attendais
Non, je m'y attendais, oh non

'Cause I'm falling in love
I'm falling in love
And I'm falling, falling in love
And I'm falling in love
I'm falling in love
And I'm falling in love with you

Un soir d'hiver, une rue le bar d'à côté
Tous ces moments perdus où je t'attendais
Ce soir d'hiver dans l'bar tout a commencé
Pourtant longtemps j'ai cru ne jamais te trouver
Non, te trouver, oh non

'Cause I'm falling in love
I'm falling in love
And I'm falling, falling in love
And I'm falling in love
I'm falling in love
And I'm falling in love with you

Et je garde à chaque fois un peu plus de toi
En moi
Mon héroïne
Mais je perd à chaque fois un peu plus de moi
Avec toi
Mon héroïne

'Cause I'm falling in love
I'm falling in love
And I'm falling, falling in love
And I'm falling in love




I'm falling in love
And I'm falling in love with you

Overall Meaning

The song "Mon Héroïne" by Fréro Delavega is a declaration of love to a woman who has become the singer's hero, his "héroïne." The lyrics describe the moments before they met, when he was lost in a crowd and unable to find her. However, he eventually caught her scent and, as he saw her footsteps ahead of him, he followed her, running until she caught up with him. The singer notes that this game of cat-and-mouse was like cheating in a game of "automates," yet he was no longer afraid of losing because he knew she awaited him ahead.


The song then shifts to a winter night, in which they met for the first time in a local bar, a place where he had longed for her but never believed he would find her. Despite the uncertainty, he admits to falling in love with her, and this love carries on into the chorus.


In the last lines of the song, the singer declares that he gains a piece of her every time he is with her, yet he also loses a bit of himself in return. The song is an ode to love that is both passionate and a little melancholic, as it acknowledges the risks of losing oneself in another person, but also the potential reward of finding a hero in a lover.
