Mordan, how kind of you to join the French board for once

I don't agree with the translation given by mordan to "cette fille t'en faisant voir de toutes les couleurs". Always has a negative meaning. For instance, cet prof t'en faisant de toutes les coulers pour passer son examen, means a teacher who makes you work very hard, to pass his exam. Usually, you must assume that there is a close link between the persons involved. The origin of this sentence is that when you are beaten on the head you see stars of all colours.
