Le vent nous portera
Sophie Hunger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte
Des méandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien
Le vent nous portera
Ton message à la Grande Ourse
Et la trajectoire de la course
Un instantané de velours
Même s'il ne sert à rien,
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera
La caresse et la mitraille
Et cette plaie qui nous tiraille
Le palais des autres jours
D'hier et demain
Le vent les portera
Génétique en bandoulière
Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphère
Des taxis pour les galaxies
Et mon tapis volant
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera
Ce parfum de nos années mortes
Ce qui peut frapper à ta porte
L'infinité de destins
On en pose un et qu'est-ce qu'on en retient?
Le vent l'emportera
Pendant que la marée monte
Et que chacun refait ses comptes
J'emmène au creux de mon ombre
Des poussières de toi
Le vent les portera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera
The lyrics of Sophie Hunger's song "Le vent nous portera" are full of poeticism and metaphors that aim to reflect the transience and impermanence of human existence. The singer starts by expressing her fearlessness about the road and how it's worth trying the unknown, even if there may be challenges along the way. She invites us on this journey, where everything will be alright, and the wind will carry us forward.
The song's chorus "Le vent nous portera" translates to "The wind will carry us," which highlights the fragility and unpredictability of life. The next verse talks about the insignificance of our actions in the grand scheme of the universe. Our messages, our races, and even our memories of the past and dreams of the future will all disappear- just as the wind carries everything away.
The third verse of the song talks about the dichotomy between the beauty and pain of life, which is signified by "La caresse et la mitraille" (s caress and gunfire). Memories of happy and sad times come and go, and the wind carries them away. The fourth verse makes reference to human progress, scientific advancements, and the interconnectedness of everything. We carry our genes with us, and even our thoughts travel through the atmosphere. The final verse talks about how we all face the same fate, and despite that, we keep on living, keep on creating memories, keep on striving for a better tomorrow. Once again, we see how the wind carries away everything except the dust – memories of the people we loved and lost.

A little translation for our anglo-saxons friends who discovered recently this marvellous song, from the french band Noir Désir.......On the original song, manu Chao was on the rythm guitar....here: https://youtu.be/NrgcRvBJYBE?si=u9ICgFhF2Lg3Kdnl
Le vent nous portera / The wind will carry us
I'm not afraid of the road
Let's see, let's taste it
Meandering in the hollow of your loins
And all will be well
The wind will carry us
Your message to the Big Dipper
And the trajectory of the race
A velvet snapshot
Even if it's useless
The wind will carry it away
All will disappear but
The wind will carry us
The caress and the machine-gun fire
And this wound that pulls us
The palace of other days
Of yesterday and tomorrow
The wind will carry them
Genetics on a shoulder
Chromosomes in the atmosphere
Cabs for the galaxies
What about my magic carpet?
The wind will carry it away
Everything will disappear but
The wind will carry us
That scent of our dead years
What may knock at your door
Infinity of destinies
We set one down and what do we remember?
The wind will carry it away
As the tide rises
And everyone is reckoning
I carry in the hollow of my shadow
Dust of you
The wind will carry it away
All will disappear but
The wind will carry us
Greetings from Paris

Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Should see, we have to taste it
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte
Meanders in the small of the back
Des méandres au creux des reins
And everything will go just fine
Et tout ira bien
The wind will Carry Us
Le vent nous portera
Your message to the Big Dipper
Ton message à la Grande Ourse
And the course of the race
Et la trajectoire de la course
A velvet snapshot
Un instantané de velours
Even if it is useless,
Même s'il ne sert à rien,
The wind will prevail
