Mais Je T'aime Lyrics in English Grand Corps Malade , Camille Lellouche

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mais Je T'aime by Grand Corps Malade from French to English.
Don't tell me stories
You know what's off with me
Don't ask me for too much
You know the cracks run deep in me
Don't cling so hard if you doubt
Don't cling so hard if it costs you
Don't let me leave you
While I'm so sure of myself
I give you all I've got
So try to see in me that
I love you, but I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you as hard as I can
I love you and I'm doing my best
They told me, wait, you'll see, love is a big fire
It crackles, it lights up, it shines, it warms, it stings your eyes
It sends hundreds of fireflies way up in the firmament
It flares all at once and lights the world and life differently
We struck the match for the spark of our start
We fed that hearth with all our excesses, our abuses
We loved each other more than anything, alone in the world in our bubble
Those flames drove us crazy
We forgot that in the end, fire burns
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you as hard as I can
I love you and I'm doing my best
I get right up to our fire and I sweat bitterness
I see its yellow and blue flames dance
And the passion that's burning out
Why, when love is strong, does it make us vulnerable and fragile
I think of us and I falter, why since then is nothing easy
I love you in fire, I love you in gold
I love you worried, I love you too hard
I love you for two, I love you wrong
It's perilous, I love you still
So it's true, it pierces me
I love you heavy, I love you crooked
Obviously it devours me
I know full well I love you badly
If I move on with you
It's 'cause I see myself doing that dance in your arms
I've got no expectations
You give me so much love
So much strength that I can't do without you now
If my words hurt you, it's not your fault
My wounds are from yesterday, some days are harder than others
If my words weigh on you, I'm not to blame
I'm not to blame, at all
But I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you as hard as I can
I love you and I'm doing my best
But I love you

SONG MEANING

Mais Je T'aime is a raw, intimate conversation where two voices admit their cracks and bruises while stubbornly declaring, I love you. Grand Corps Malade’s gravelly spoken-word verses meet Camille Lellouche’s soaring vocals, creating a push-and-pull between doubt and devotion. Each line exposes past wounds, yet every chorus erupts with the same unwavering refrain, proving that even damaged hearts can beat loudly in unison.

The song paints love as a blazing fire: it crackles, glows and warms, but it can also scorch the skin of anyone who gets too close. The pair recall how their initial spark became an uncontrollable blaze fed by excess and passion. Still, they stand beside the flames, accepting vulnerability as the price of genuine connection. In the end, Mais Je T'aime says that loving imperfectly is better than not loving at all, and that the most fragile relationships can shine the brightest when both partners choose to keep the fire alive.
