Oui

Tu m’as dit oui, ta vie est avec moi
Tu m’as dit oui, cheri, pourquoi pas
Mais apres tous tes craches
Quand j’arrive a voir te pas
Tu m’as dit oui, compte est commence
Tu m’as dit oui a tous mes projets

Mais quand je veux me mettre
Tu te lances par la fenetre

Tu m’as dit oui, oui, oui
Pour partager ta vie
Oui, oui, oui
Mais oui pour toi n’ai pas de sens
Je veux allong pasant enfin

Tu m’as dit oui que tu vas m’epouser
Tu m’as dit oui, ton amour est vrai
Mais tu sors avec des femmes
Et rentre avec leur parfum

Tu m’as dit oui, oui, oui
Pour partager ta vie
Oui, oui, oui
Mais «oui» pour toi n’ai pas de sens
Je veux allong pasant enfin

Tu m’as dit oui, oui, oui
Pour partager ta vie
Oui, oui, oui
Mais «oui» pour toi n’ai pas de sens
Je veux allong pasant enfin

Mais tu sors avec des femmes
Et rentre avec leur parfum

Tu m’as dit oui, oui, oui

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to In-Grid's song Oui speak of a relationship where one person is saying "yes" to everything the other person wants, but the other person's actions are telling a different story. The first verse talks about how the other person said "yes" to being together and all of the plans they made, but when the main singer tries to get close, the other person runs away. The chorus talks about how the other person said "yes" to sharing their life and getting married, but they are cheating and coming home smelling like other women's perfume.

The second verse continues with the same theme of the other person saying "yes" but not following through. They say "yes" to marrying but continue to cheat. The singer's frustration is evident when they say "but 'yes' for you doesn't have any sense, I want to finally lie down." This suggests that the singer is tired of being strung along and wants to move on.

In conclusion, the lyrics of Oui speak to the theme of a relationship where one person is saying things that they don't follow through on. The frustration of the main singer is evident as they question the meaning of "yes" coming from the other person.
