Please Translate "Fel Pou Lanmou"

Fè l pou lanmou.

Isn't "koupe" used to translate the expression "I don't mean to interrupt"?
Yes. If you want to cut into a conversation and bring in your ideas or something, you'll say: San koupe pawòl ou... (which means I don't mean to cut through your words, but...)
San koupe pawòl ou, m panse ke se pa vre.
Sorry to interrupt, but I think you're wrong.
how do u say i love you
It's right there, top of the screen: I love you. → Mwen renmen ou. or Mwen renmen w.
If "koupe" means "to cut", what makes it a bad word?
"koupe" in Creole is not a bad word. But it can be used as a slang for "having sex".
Should you then tiptoe around this Creole word? No way.
As always, the meaning is in the context.
