De bémols et de Dièses
Dick Annegarn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu es si fragile, un agneau qui bêle,
Tes yeux de porcelaine regardent le monde violent,
Et ton nez saigne du vent.
Le vent aére ma chanson,
Le vent aére.
L'air que j'ai respiré
Est fait de bémols et de diéses.
J'ouvre les fenêtres, le vent peut entrer.
Vent, venez, veuillez entrer.
Bienvenue, vent, ami de la pluie,
Qui elle aussi est ici.
Il pleut dans ma maison,
Il pleut des gouttelettes
Il pleut, je suis mouille,
Couvert de gouttes, de bémols et de diéses.
Sur le sol dore de ma melopée, Sur le sol dore, il commence à neiger, La neige ensevelit ma guitare et mes arpéges, Chanson, tu seras aussi couverte de neige.
Il neige sur ma chanson
Des flocons de blanc.
Il neige, je suis couvert
De flocons, de bémols et de diéses
The lyrics of Dick Annegarn's De Bemols Et De Dieses describe a fragile and delicate person with porcelain eyes who looks out into a violent world while their nose bleeds in the wind. The wind, however, is also present in his song and is made up of bémols and diéses, representing both the flat and sharp notes in music. The wind is invited in, along with the rain, which starts to fall and makes the singer wet with drops of both bémols and diéses. Snow also eventually falls on his melody, covering his guitar with a white blanket of snowflakes.
The song reflects the idea of vulnerability and the beauty of imperfection in music. The use of bémols and diéses represent the small mistakes one can make even in the most beautiful melody. The wind, rain, and snow emphasize the idea that even though there may be imperfections, those things can still be beautiful and worth embracing. The lyrics also suggest the fragility of human life and how it is intertwined with the unpredictability of nature.
