Just payback
Like a fresh dose
But it's the grand finale
But it's the grand finale
I admit I've
Waited for them a long time
But flowers only speak
In the present
Regrets don't like
You can make them say
Anything you want
On the card the blue ink glides
Tells me you love only me
The red is blood red
Lovers' color
But it's the grand finale
Finale
But it's the grand finale
Fatal, it's always good
To end in style
There's the odd number
Satin ribbons
Not meaning to flatter you
There's my feelings, the ones
I loved loving you
And my urge to hold you
Hold tight
Everything's there but not the heart
You'd like to change things
Like we change
Rose water
My love forget that
Flowers
Don't cheat
You'd like to change things
Like we change
Rose water
My love forget that
Flowers
Don't cheat
Just payback
I send you to the roses
You laid at my place
At my place
You laid at my place
At my place
It's always nice
To end in style
You don't do things
Halfway
Not meaning to flatter you
There's a kind of urge
To forgive you
To make myself stunning for you
Everything's there but not the heart
You'd like to change things
Like we change
Rose water
My love forget that
Flowers
Don't cheat
You'd like to change things
Like we change
Rose water
My love forget that
Flowers
Don't cheat
Flowers don't cheat
As well as you
Flowers don't cheat
You'd like to change things
Like we change
Rose water
My love forget that
Flowers
Don't cheat
You'd like to change things
Like we change
Rose water
My love forget that
Flowers
Don't cheat
Just payback
Like an overdose
But it's the grand finale
But it's the grand finale

SONG MEANING

Bouquet Final paints the very last scene of a love story with the elegance of fresh roses and the sting of their thorns. Vanessa Paradis turns the traditional gift of flowers into a bittersweet symbol: a dazzling “final bouquet” that celebrates the beauty the couple once shared while admitting that the romance has withered. She sends the flowers back, almost like returning a love letter, and reminds her partner that “les fleurs ne trichent pas” – flowers do not lie. Their vibrant colors cannot hide the truth that regret has arrived too late.

In this lyrical farewell, Paradis compares trying to fix the relationship to changing the water in a vase of roses. You can refresh the petals for a moment, but you cannot revive their fading life. Between playful word-games and tender confessions, she acknowledges the temptation to forgive and to “end in beauty,” yet recognizes her heart is no longer in it. The song blooms with irony, romance, and finality, leaving listeners with the image of one last glorious bouquet that both honors and closes the chapter of love.
