Que Dieu Me Pardonne Lyrics in English Kendji Girac , Claudio Capéo

Que Dieu Me Pardonne is a heartfelt confession wrapped in Kendji Girac’s sunny gipsy-pop guitars and Claudio Capéo’s warm accordion. The two French singers list all the things society tells us we “should” be: gods, kings, geniuses who never cry, never doubt, and always shout the loudest. Each verse piles on these impossible standards, only to knock them down with the chorus’s humble plea: « Mais que Dieu me pardonne » – may God forgive me. They admit they act on instinct, sometimes feel like “good-for-nothings,” yet keep their hearts wide open.

Beneath the catchy melody lies an anthem of vulnerability turned into strength. The song reminds us it’s okay to stumble today if it helps us do better tomorrow, and that real courage is found in generosity, wonder, and admitting our fears. By the final chorus you’re left smiling, guitar still ringing in your ears, feeling inspired to drop the armor and let your own humanity shine.
