Laissé Tomber
L'Algérino Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je te sens bizarre qu'est-ce qui t'arrive?
Pourquoi tu me fais cette tête d'enterrement?
Suis mon regarde, pourquoi tu m'esquives?
Toi qui disait m'aimer tellement

Tu me dévisages comme un inconnu
A croire que tu n'as plus de sentiment
A mes messages tu ne réponds plus

Mais qu'est-ce que sa veux dire?

Et on s'était promis la belle vie, (ya omri)
Je te suis, toi tu me fuis
C'est comme si, il n'y avait plus de magie

Elle ma laissé tomber
Elle ma laissé tomber
Elle ma laissé tomber
Elle ma laissé tomber
Mais je vais me relevé

J'ai des images quand je pense à cette fille
J'ai l'impression de mettre mis dedans
Elle me rends fou je l'avait sentis
Que ce n'était pas la bonne

Mon ami m'avait dit, pas cette fille
Faut que tu oublies
Elle fait plein de manis, des chichis, ta gadji
Tu cavales les gucci, buscemi, la grande vie
Je comprends plus cette fille, c'est fini
Et tant pis

Elle ma laissé tomber
Elle ma laissé tomber
Elle ma laissé tomber
Elle ma laissé tomber
Mais je vais me relevé

Oh waye waye waye waye yedi
Oh waye waye waye waye yedi
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh waye waye waye waye yedi
Oh waye waye waye waye yedi
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Elle ma laissé tomber
Elle ma laissé tomber
Elle ma laissé tomber
Elle ma laissé tomber
Mais je vais me relevé

Elle ma laissé tomber
Je vais la zaper

Je vais l'oublié
J'ai mes millions de côté

Overall Meaning

In L'Algérino's song "Laissé Tomber," the singer expresses confusion and hurt over the sudden change in their partner's behavior. The lyrics convey a sense of bewilderment as the singer questions what has caused their partner to act strangely and avoid them. The mention of a "tête d'enterrement" (funeral face) suggests a somber and distant demeanor from the partner, which adds to the singer's feelings of unease and rejection.

The singer observes that their partner now looks at them as if they are a stranger, indicating a loss of familiarity and emotional connection. The lack of response to messages further emphasizes the growing distance between them, leading the singer to ponder the significance of these actions. The repetition of "ma laissé tomber" (she left me) highlights the impact of the partner's abandonment and the confusion surrounding the situation.

Despite the promises of a "belle vie" (beautiful life) and the professed love from the partner, the singer finds themselves in a situation where they are chasing after someone who is actively avoiding them. The absence of magic in the relationship is likened to a loss of spark or passion, underscoring the sense of disillusionment and disappointment experienced by the singer. The resolve to "se relever" (rise up) suggests a determination to overcome the heartbreak and move forward despite the pain.

The lyrics also touch upon the influence of friends and outside perspectives on the relationship. The singer recalls a friend warning them about the unsuitability of the partner and advises them to forget about her. The mention of material possessions like Gucci and Buscemi hints at a superficial aspect of the partner's lifestyle that may have contributed to the breakdown of the relationship. Ultimately, the decision to let go of the past and focus on personal growth and success, as indicated by having "mes millions de côté" (my millions on the side), signifies a desire to move on from the hurtful experience and prioritize one's own well-being.
