Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Sez tomber les filles
Et un jour c’est toi qu’on laissera
Laissez tomber les filles
'Sez tomber les filles
Et un jour c’est toi qu’on laissera
Oui j'ai pleuré mais ce jour-là
Non, je ne pleurerai pas
Oui j'ai pleuré mais ce jour-là
Je ne pleurerai pas
Je ne pleurerai pas
I guess you had no idea that you could have persuaded me
Girl, you coulda had me doing anything you pleased
Girl, you shoulda took your time and thought of what to say to me
'Cause I'm not as hard as you make it seem to be
It could have went so many ways
So many ways it can go
'Cause ain't nobody feels the way that I feel when I’m alone
So if I said that I won't call
The lying comes natural to me
You probably coulda had it all
You could have been that lonely star
If we just went on
If we just went on, oh yeah
If we just went on
If we just went on
Happiness exists when you don't know a thing
So I hope you don't think this song is about you
And only I can know how close you came
But baby I'm a pro at letting go
I love it when they come and go
But it coulda went so many ways
So many ways it can go
'Cause ain't nobody feels the way that I feel when I’m alone
So if I said that I won't call
The lying comes natural to me
You probably coulda had it all
You coulda been that lonely star
If we just went on, ooh
If we just went on, yeah
If we just went on, oh, oh
If we just went on
If we just went on, ooh baby
If we just went on
If we just went on
Oh, yeah, if we just went on, oh yeah
Laisse tomber les filles
'Sez tomber les filles
Et un jour c’est toi qu’on laissera
Laissez tomber les filles
'Sez tomber les filles
Et un jour c’est toi qu’on laissera
Oui j'ai pleuré mais ce jour-là
Non, je ne pleurerai pas
Non, je ne pleurerai pas
Oh, oui j'ai pleuré mais ce jour-là
Je ne pleurerai pas
Non, je ne pleurerai pas
The Weeknd's song "Montreal" is a melancholic and emotional reflection on a failed relationship. The lyrics in French, "Laissez tomber les filles" translate to "Let the girls drop it" or "Let the girls go." The repeated line, "Et un jour c'est toi qu'on laissera" means "And one day it will be you who's left behind." These lyrics set the tone for the rest of the song, where The Weeknd sings about the pain of being left alone and the regret of not being able to make the relationship work.
The following lines speak to the regret that The Weeknd feels about the relationship: "You shoulda took your time and thought of what to say to me / 'Cause I'm not as hard as you make it seem to be." He reflects on the missed opportunities and how things could have been different if communication was better. The Weeknd's use of repetition in the chorus emphasizes the pain of being left behind and the regret of missed opportunities.
The Weeknd also acknowledges his own flaws in the relationship, admitting that he has a natural tendency to lie: "The lying comes natural to me." He recognizes that he may have contributed to the relationship's downfall, but still expresses the pain of being left behind. The line, "Happiness exists when you don't know a thing" speaks to the idea that sometimes it's better not to know, as ignorance can be bliss. In the end, The Weeknd accepts the situation and moves on, proclaiming that he's "a pro at letting go."

I make my friends who don't know Abel listen to this song...
Watch them hate it...
Make them listen to his other songs, get them hooked on Abel...
Make them listen to this song again...
And watch them fall in love...

I'm paying for all my father's sins
So I will thank him for you
I'ma thank him for you
My serotonin's got a while to go
Girl, it's gone 'cause of you
It's been gone 'cause of you
They say, they want heaven
They say, they want God
I say, I got heaven
Well I say, I am God
I never prayed a moment in my life
Girl I'm rewarded with you
I've been rewarded with you
So baby let me kiss your inner thigh
Let me kiss it for you
I can kiss it for you
They say, they want heaven
They say, they want God
I say, I have heaven
I say, I am God

@MeMediaEntertainment
Either people listen to the Weeknd and know every single song, or they don't know much about him. One or the other, nothing in between.
