Conquistador might sound like a battle cry, yet Kendji Girac flips the idea on its head. He tells his partner, “I’m not playing the conquistador, you already know how much I adore you.” Instead of seeking new territories to conquer, he is chasing only one prize: her. Every beat of this lively pop-flamenco track is a declaration that when he “plays,” it is “for the gold medal,” meaning he is all in — no games, no half-measures. The repeated line “Moi, j’oublie tout quand tu danses” (I forget everything when you dance) shows how her movements erase his worries and set his heart on fire, a flame that “doesn’t go out like that.”
The song swings between confidence and vulnerability. Kendji admits he has been hurt before, yet her presence pushes him to stay strong and even dream of running away together. The tension of “you’re not right, I’m not wrong” hints at playful disagreements, but the pull of attraction always wins. In short, Conquistador is an energetic love anthem about surrendering to passion, letting the music guide you, and giving someone your whole heart — medal-worthy devotion included.
