Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il à pris de son père
Il sait tout faire
Il aime parler à mi-voix
S'approcher jusqu'à toi
Et puis saisir sa proie
C'est fantastique et super
Il sait tout faire
Il aime parler à mi-voix
S'approcher jusqu'à toi
Et puis saisir sa proie
C'est un coquin qui tam tam toutes les femmes
Jusqu'à les faire tomber
Il batifole à côté de ton cœur
Il a toujours le diable au corps!
En avant! C'est le mot de sa vie
Tout son problème est là
Le toupet trône sur son visage
Un coquin qui croit être roi!
C'est fantastique et super
Il à pris de son père
Il sait tout faire
Il aime parler à mi-voix
S'approcher jusqu'à toi
Et puis saisir sa proie
Il n'a jamais été repu d'amour
Il ne connait pas d'mesures
Le coquin c'est un sympa têtu
Son but est que tu n'as pas d'issue!
C'est fantastique et super
Il à pris de son père
Il sait tout fair
Il aime parler à mi-voix
S'approcher jusqu'à toi
Et puis saisir sa proie
Gotta get up
Gotta get up
Gotta get up
Gotta get up
Gotta get up
C'est fantastique et super
Il à pris de son père
Il sait tout faire
Il aime parler à mi-voix
S'approcher jusqu'à toi
Et puis saisir sa proie
C'est fantastique et super
Il à pris de son père
Il sait tout faire
Il aime parler à mi-voix
S'approcher jusqu'à toi
Et puis saisir sa proie
The lyrics to In-Grid's song Coquin describe a man who is a bit of a scoundrel and a ladies' man. The singer describes him as fantastic and super, and suggests that he has learned his seductive ways from his father. The man in question knows how to do everything and has a way of speaking in a low voice that draws people in. He is also skilled at being able to approach someone and then seize them as his prey. The chorus repeats that he is a scoundrel who drums on all the women until they fall for him. He flirts with your heart and always has the devil in his body. The rest of the song continues to describe his unquenchable lust for love and how he won't stop until he has captured his target.
The lyrics of the song are written in French, and the name "Coquin" translates to "rascal" or "scoundrel" in English. The song is an upbeat pop tune with a catchy chorus that will have you singing along in no time. The song seems to be a commentary on men who are smooth talkers and know how to charm their way into a woman's heart. It is a warning to women to be careful of men who are too charming and to not fall prey to their advances.
