Le roi soleil
カヒミ・カリィ Lyrics

The lyrics of "Le roi soleil" by カヒミ・カリィ describe the inner monologue of the singer, who is reflecting on the opulent life of Louis XIV, the Sun King, at Versailles, and the possibility of revolution. The first lines state that the King is in Versailles, and the singer is contemplating her revenge, even though she may not appear to be a revolutionary. The second verse describes the King's joyous atmosphere with his ladies and mistresses, his beautiful gardens filled with roses and fountains. The singer then meets the King himself and, despite feeling some initial reluctance, is drawn towards him and eventually succumbs to his desires.

The lyrics mainly focus on the contrast between the luxurious lifestyle of the King, who is seen as unreachable and invincible, and the singer's own desires for revolution and freedom. She is torn between her own beliefs and the temptation of power and luxury, embodied by the King. The phrase "Le Roi Soleil, même dans mon lit, rien ne pourrait l'arrêter" ("even in my bed, the Sun King could not be stopped") highlights his perceived invincibility and power, while the line "Un Roi Soleil, qui peut me plaire, ça s'voit pas tous les jours" ("a Sun King, who could please me, doesn't come along every day") suggests that even those who desire change and revolution are not immune to the attractions of power and luxury.
