Tendre sorcière
Anik Jean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh! vous grande dame

La reine de tous ces drames

Regardez le talon de vos chaussures

Et s'écroulaient à Berlin les grands murs


Cordialement

Pour les grands tourments

Dramatiquement

Vos grands serpents



Bloquant le soleil

De passer à travers vos querelles

Mais pourquoi vous acharner

À vouloir toujours tout saccager



Cordialement

Pour les grands tourments

Dramatiquement

Vos grands serpents



Cordialement

Pour les grands tourments

Cordialement

Vos grands serpents

Dramatiquement

Mes grands tourments

Dramatiquement





Vos grandes dents

Overall Meaning

In the song "Tendre Sorcière" by Anik Jean, the lyrics speak to a powerful figure, the "grande dame" or queen, who is responsible for creating chaos and destruction. The opening line, "Oh! vous grande dame, La reine de tous ces drames," sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it addresses this figure as the queen of all dramas. The line, "Regardez le talon de vos chaussures, Et s'écroulaient à Berlin les grands murs," speaks to the idea that even the smallest action by this queen could lead to great destruction, as if a single step could bring down the walls of Berlin.


The chorus repeats the phrase "cordialement" multiple times, which translates to "with regards" in English. This is an interesting choice of words, as it adds a layer of sarcasm to the lyrics. By using this formal phrase, the singer is addressing this queen with a false sense of respect, as if to mock their power.
