about

(I studied abroad in France for a year when I was fifteen and later on majored in French in college before starting to write music. Translating my lyrics has been a fun way to reconnect with my first passion. It helped me find new meaning in my own lyrics. The French lyrics for “Sorry That I Love You” resonate more with me than the original. These lyrics are less about the sadness of the singer and more about the patterns of the person in question.)

lyrics

Excuse-moi de t’aimer
Ce n’est pas ton genre, je sais
Pardonne moi de ce faire-part
Et prends le temps
De digérer, digérer
On s’est trouvés et puis on s’est loupé, bébé

Pour chasser les étoiles dans tes yeux
En vitesse donne-moi un très bel Adieu
Avant de chercher quelque chose de mieux
Enfin tu files, voilà tu cours
Vers le loin vers le jour
Pourquoi tu n’aimes pas quand je t’aime?

Maintenant que tu as goûté
Au doux amer de mon cœur taché
A quoi pouvons nous jouer?
Quand une victoire facile te force à
te cacher, te cacher
On s’est trouvés et puis on s’est loupé, bébé

Pour chasser les étoiles dans tes yeux
En vitesse donne-moi un très bel Adieu
Avant de chercher quelque chose de mieux
Enfin tu files, voilà tu cours
Vers le loin vers le jour
Pourquoi tu n’aimes pas quand je t’aime?

Tu n’as rien à me prouver et
Tu n’as rien à perdre tu sais
Rien de moi ne t’est caché
Mais tu as besoin de jouer bébé
Mais tu as besoin de jouer bébé

Excuse-moi de t’aimer
Ce n’est pas ton genre, je sais
Pardonne moi de ce faire part
Qui sonne la fin de notre chasse effrénée
Effrénée, effrénée, effrénée

Pourquoi tu n’aimes pas quand je t’aime?
