Bella Lyrics in English GIMS

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bella by GIMS from French to English.
Intro
Bella
She answered to the name Bella
The locals didn't wanna mess with her
She made every village tremble
People told me, 'Watch out for that girl'
She answered to the name Bella
The locals didn't wanna mess with her
She made every village tremble
People told me, 'Watch out for that girl'
She was a phenomenon, she wasn't human
The kind of woman who turns
the biggest delinquent into a gentleman
A beauty like no other, everybody wants to grab her
Not knowing she's stringing them along
Hypnotized, we could give it all
She just had to ask and we'd start right away
We tried to impress her, to become her favorite
Not knowing she's stringing them along
But when I see her dancing at night
I'd like to become the chair she sits on
Or less than that, a nobody
Just a stone in her path
She answered to the name Bella
The locals didn't wanna mess with her
She made every village tremble
People told me, 'Watch out for that girl'
She answered to the name Bella
The locals didn't wanna mess with her
She made every village tremble
People told me, 'Watch out for that girl'
Yeah, she's a phenomenon who loves to haunt our dreams
That woman was called Bella with the golden skin
Women hated her, others envied her
But men could only love her
She wasn't from around here, not easy, not hard
Synonym of 'magnificent', at her feet: only disciples
Who quickly grew unsure, trembling like leaves
She stroked you without even touching you
But when I see her dancing at night
I'd like to become the chair she sits on
Or less than that, a nobody
Just a stone in her path
She answered to the name Bella
The locals didn't wanna mess with her
She made every village tremble
People told me, 'Watch out for that girl'
She answered to the name Bella
The locals didn't wanna mess with her
She made every village tremble
People told me, 'Watch out for that girl'
Come on, make my head spin
Spin my head
Make me dumb as my feet
Dumb as my feet
I'm the shadow of your dog
The shadow of your dog
Make my head spin
Spin my head
Make my head spin
Spin my head
Make me dumb as my feet
Dumb as my feet
I'm the shadow of your dog
The shadow of your dog
Make my head spin
Spin my head
She answered to the name Bella
The locals didn't wanna mess with her
She made every village tremble
People told me, 'Watch out for that girl'
She answered to the name Bella
The locals didn't wanna mess with her
She made every village tremble
People told me, 'Watch out for that girl'
She answered to the name Bella
The locals didn't wanna mess with her
She made every village tremble
People told me, 'Watch out for that girl'
She answered to the name Bella
The locals didn't wanna mess with her
She made every village tremble
People told me, 'Watch out for that girl'

SONG MEANING

Bella is GIMS’s modern fable about a "femme fatale" so stunning that entire villages shake each time she walks by. Nicknamed Bella, she glides through town like a mythic apparition, turning the worst delinquent into a perfect gentleman and leaving everyone—especially the men—hopelessly hypnotized. Whispers follow her everywhere: "Méfie-toi de cette fille-là" ("Watch out for that girl"). Yet warnings melt away the moment she starts to dance, and even the narrator dreams of becoming nothing more than the chair she sits on or a stone beneath her feet.

Behind the catchy beat, the song explores how irresistible beauty can blur judgment and spark obsession. GIMS paints Bella as both enchanting and dangerous: she never needs to touch you to pull you into her spell, and once you are caught, you will gladly do anything she asks. Bella is a cautionary but playful anthem that celebrates seduction, exposes vulnerability, and reminds listeners that some attractions are as thrilling as they are risky.
