Pâte filo
Malajube Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'ai couvert mon coeur d'une pâte filo
Qui me protège de toi et de ta libido
Et pour contrôler ma mouillabilité
J'ai appliqué la nitro sur la pâte filo
Et je m'incline devant toi et ta libido
Pour contrôler ma sensibilité
J'ai couvert mon coeur d'une pâte filo
Qui me protège de toi et de ta libido
Pour contrôler ma sexualité
J'ai appliqué la nitro sur la pâte filo
Et je m'incline devant toi et ta libido
The lyrics of Malajube's song Pâte filo describe someone's attempt to control their impulses and desires through creating a protective layer around their heart. They say that they have covered their heart in a "pâte filo," which is a thin, fragile pastry made of layers of dough. This delicate layer is meant to protect them from the other person and their "libido," or sexual desires.
In an effort to further control their physical reactions, they have applied "nitro" to the pâte filo to prevent themselves from becoming too aroused, or "mouillability". However, despite their efforts to control their emotions and desires, they still find themselves humbled before the other person and their libido.
It's possible that the song is discussing the challenges of maintaining emotional distance and self-control in relationships. By creating a protective barrier around their heart and using nitro to suppress their physical reactions, the singer is attempting to avoid being hurt or overwhelmed by their own emotions or the other person's desires.

Un classique (Malajube, un des groupes les plus géniaux du Québec)
@smokekaya
Un des plus beaux clips jamais inventé! Merci!!
@guigne01
La vidéo, comme la chanson, est presque trop belle. J'éprouve une sensation physique de joie lorsque j'écoute l'album -- c'est comme si mon coeur enfle de plaisir. J'ai raté l'occasion de voir le groupe quand ils sont venus à Kansas City :( Mais d'après ces réponses positives, ils sont assez populaires -- peut-être ils feront encore une tournée, et reviendront près de moi? I hope so!

I highly recommand to every single person who is not a french speaker to at least learn what their lyrics mean, because except their AMAZINGLY GOOD music, they play on words a lot and that is what is cool about them. Each of their song has been written in a way what they want to talk about will never be explicitly named, which let us the opportunity of making our own interpretation of the song.
