Marie danse
Andréel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je me fais roi t'accueillant à moi comme si j'avais eu l'or, l'or de t'aimer
Les bonnes gens massés en pâture se font ronde m'attirant vers toi
Je serre tes mains, la bonne aventure me sourit, je frémis déjà
Danse ! Danse Marie ! Frôle-moi de tes cheveux
Danse Marie ! Fuyons la vie tous les deux
Mais à chaque récit des ivrognes ébrieux se content de toi
Sous tes voiles de soie on se verrait d'un doigt remonter le plaisir
Mais serré contre toi on se dérobe en proie, paralysé d'émoi
Danse ! Danse Marie ! Brise-moi de tes yeux
Danse Marie ! Eux peuvent s'aider d'être deux
Et si l'on repart toujours à genoux sans amour en exil d'envie
On garde au moins au gris d'une nostalgie une esquisse de toi
On se veut d'avoir cru d'embrasser ta vertu en s'ouvrant à tes bras
Mais on t'attend prochaine te voilà revenue et tu danses pour moi
Danse ! Dansons Marie ! Valsons tous les deux
Dansons Marie...
The lyrics to Andréel's song "Marie danse" is essentially about the power of love and its ability to make everything else disappear. The song speaks about how even the sun hides at night to avoid casting a shadow on the person's dance moves. The singer feels like a king when his love is with him, as though he possesses everything he could ever want. The good people that are gathered around them create a circle that draws him toward her. When he touches her hands, the good fortune smiles down on him, and he feels an intense sensation of pleasure.
The next stanza talks about how no one has ever offered themselves to her like he has, and while others may talk her down and belittle her, they don't understand her the way he does. Her silken veil is like an invitation to paradise, but when pressed against her, one can't help but be paralyzed with emotion.
The final stanza speaks about the fact that if they have to part, they will always hold her memories and their experiences with her close to their hearts. They take comfort in the fact that they had the chance to embrace her virtue and hold her in their arms. When she comes back, they will dance together once again.
