Mon Ami Sans Voix
Tom Poisson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu vas plus gémir
Tu vas voyager,
Danser et sourire
Tu changeras ton nom
Pour celui d'une fleur
Et je te promets, t'auras plus peur
On ira tout droit
Visiter l'azur
Et puis t'oublieras
Les mots, les injures
Je t'emmènerai
Changer tes couleurs
Apprends ce refrain par cœur
{Refrain:}
On part, on part, on part
Pour où tu veux,
On court, on court, on court
Tant que tu peux
On trouvera les plages
Où naissent les tortues
Où les coquillages
A perte de vue
Colorent des rivages
Au temps suspendu
Ô mon ami déçu
Il est des enfants
Tout au bout du monde
Et leurs yeux géants
En moins d'une seconde
Pourront te soigner
Et tu entendras
Ton cœur cogner fort comme ça
{au Refrain}
On quittera les routes
On verra les dunes
Et si t'as un doute
Il restera la lune
Je ferai tout pour toi
Je l'ai fait déjà
Ô mon ami sans voix
The song Mon Ami Sans Voix by Tom Poisson talks about a person who has been hurt and disappointed in life. The singer assures his friend that he will no longer cry or moan, but he will travel, dance, and smile. The singer promises that his friend will be able to change his name to that of a flower and that he will no longer be afraid. They will travel straight to visit the azure (blue sky), and his friend will forget the painful words and insults from before. The singer assures his friend that he will take him to change his colors and memorize the refrain.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the theme of the song: they are leaving and going as far away as the friend wants for as long as he can run. They promise to find the beaches where turtles are born, with seashells as far as the eye can see, coloring the shores, and time suspended. The singer assures his friend that there are children at the end of the world whose giant eyes will heal him, and he will feel his heart beating faster.
The lyrics of the song are very poetic and use imagery that transports listeners to a magical world. It is a song of hope for someone who has been hurt and promises a better future. The music is light, and the melody is uplifting, which adds to the happy theme of the song.
