Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et je t'ai cru
Tu m'as promis le soleil en hiver et un arc-en-ciel
Tu m'as promis le sable doré; j'ai reçu une carte postale
Tu m'as promis le ciel, la terre, et une vie d'amour
Tu m'as promis ton cœur, ton sourire
Mais j'ai eu des grimaces
Tu m'as promis
Et je t'ai cru
Tu m'as promis le cheval ailé que j'ai jamais eu
Tu m'as promis le fil d'Ariane, mais tu l'as coupé
Tu m'as promis les notes de Mozart, pas des plats cassés
Tu m'as promis d'être ta reine;
J'ai eu pour sceptre un balai
Tu m'as promis
Et je t'ai cru
Tu es foutu-tu-tu...
Tu es foutu-tu-tu...
Je ne sais pas ce qui se passe
Mais je sais pourquoi on m'appelle
"Mademoiselle Pas de Chance"
Tu m'as promis, tu m'as promis
Tu m'as promis
Tu es foutu-tu-tu...
Tu es foutu-tu-tu...
The lyrics of In-Grid's song "Tu Es Foutu" (Benny Benassi Rmx) talks about broken promises and disappointment in a relationship. The singer believed the promises made by her partner, like having the sun in winter, golden sand, the sky, the earth, a life of love, and a winged horse. However, she only received a postcard, a broken thread, shattered plates, and a broomstick as a scepter. The song expresses the singer's frustration and sadness towards her partner's inability to keep his promises, leading her to feel like "Mademoiselle Pas de Chance" or "Miss No Luck."
The repeated phrase "Tu es foutu-tu-tu" in the chorus, translated to "You're screwed-tu-tu," emphasizes the singer's disappointment and frustration towards her partner. The song's upbeat rhythm and the use of the accordion give it a French, European feeling. The song's lyrics and rhythmic beat and instrumentation make it a perfect dance number.
