Echo
Anggun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I, you and I

J'entends l'écho de nos pas, tous en cadence
Marche au pas, jamais dans le même sens
On avance, mais on court après quoi?

J'entends l'écho de nos rêves, de nos envies
Au-delà du jour, jusqu'à la nuit
On s'entraine et on court après quoi?

On se perd, on s'espère
Quelque part, on s'égare
Un jour au-delà
On se retrouvera

In my dreams, in my dreams
In my heart, in my mind
I see you and I, there is you and I

J'entends l'écho de nos pas qui se balancent
Çà et là, toujours sur la même danse
On avance, mais on court après quoi?

On se perd, on s'espère
Quelque part, on s'égare
Un jour au-delà
On se retrouvera

In my dreams, in my dreams
In my heart, in my mind
I see you and I, there is you and I

There is you and I, there is you and I

J'entends l'écho de ta voix s'éloigner de moi
L'écho d'un amour un jour reviendra
Il m'entraine et je cours après toi

On se perd, on s'espère
Quelque part, on s'égare
Un jour au-delà
On se retrouvera

In my dreams, in my dreams




In my heart, in my mind
I see you and I, there is you and I

Overall Meaning

They are chasing their dreams and desires, but they are not sure what they are looking for. The singer hears the echo of their footsteps and their dreams, and wonders what they are pursuing. Despite feeling lost and uncertain, they refuse to give up hope that one day they will find each other again.


The repetition of the lines "On avance, mais on court après quoi?" ("We're moving forward, but what are we running after?") underscores the uncertainty and lack of direction that the two people feel. The emotions of hope, loss, and yearning are also conveyed in the way that the lyrics describe the echo of their dream, their footsteps, and their voices. The singer recognizes the sound of the other person's voice fading away from them, but they remain hopeful that someday their love will return.


Overall, this song expresses the emotions of uncertainty and hope that come with embarking on a journey of self-discovery and searching for love.
