Que Veux-tu Lyrics in English Yelle

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Veux-tu by Yelle from French to English.

They cross paths every day

Like a couple in love

She smiles at him slightly

With a lot of ulterior motives

Always watching where he's going

What he's doing in his rearview mirror

But she's never tried

When she doesn't see him one morning, she worries

As if he belonged to her a little in her head

She's never even lowered her window

He doesn't even realize

It's like he's stupid

What do you want, I'm crazy about you

My heart stops beating when I see you

You're handsome, you're tall, you're fascinating

You have horses, ponies

Let's have children

What future is there for me

My body doesn't move

When I hear your voice

You're as warm as a glove

Around my fingers

But your fiery gaze is so cold

Never a simple nod

Like a shy teenager at a party

I really love your style, how you dress

I'm not sure if this first sentence would be clever

I would already like to tell you I love you without a consonant or vowel

Things would happen on their own

I have the flame and the laziness

Tell me there's no one else

That it's my fault

You're waiting for me to come

I would already like to tell you I love you without a consonant or vowel

Things would happen on their own

I have the flame and the laziness

Tell me you're as strong as that black stallion

Next to that oak tree

What do you want, I'm crazy about you

My heart stops beating when I see you

You're handsome, you're tall, you're fascinating

You have horses, ponies

Let's have children

What future is there for me

My body doesn't move when I hear your voice

You're as warm as a glove around my fingers

But your fiery gaze is so cold

Charismatic, magnificent jeans

Four-leaf clovers

Under galloping horses

This man who pricks

His horse strength

Has touched my heart

In his checkered shirt

What do you want, I'm crazy about you

My heart stops beating when I see you

You're handsome, you're tall, you're fascinating

You have horses, ponies

Let's have children

What future is there for me

My body doesn't move

When I hear your voice

You're as warm as a glove

Around my fingers

But your fiery gaze is so cold

SONG MEANING

“Que Veux-tu” feels like a colorful diary entry from someone who is hopelessly, almost comically, smitten with a stranger she sees every day. She fantasizes about his tall frame, his hypnotic voice and even the horses and ponies he owns, yet she never dares to roll down her car window and speak. Each missed glance makes her heart race, while his indifference freezes her. The lyrics bounce between playful admiration (“T’as des chevaux… Faisons des enfants!”) and frustrated paralysis (“Mon corps ne bouge plus quand j’entends ta voix”), painting a picture of day-dreamy obsession that is equal parts sweet and absurd.

At its core the song captures the thrill and agony of a silent crush: electric attraction, exaggerated fantasies and zero real-life progress. Yelle’s bubbly electro-pop sound amplifies the contrast between her flirtatious confidence in her head and her actual shyness on the street. It is a lighthearted reminder that sometimes the most dramatic romances happen entirely in our imagination — and that courage, not daydreams, is what turns a passing stranger into something more.
