Les histoires d'amour
Anna Karina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little man, when you stand by my side
Then I know I don't have to hide from anyone
And I pray that we'll stay just that way
Till the day comes along when we catch the sun.

[Chorus: x2]
Little girl you're runnin'
Come catch my hand I'm near you
Little girl you're singin'
Come close to me I hear you
You're growin' old, my mother's cold
Now you've learned what it meant to be mature
There's no such place as make believe
But when I look at your face,
I'm not so sure

You and me is what I see
And that's the way its gonna stay and it will always be
So little man, please understand
In this world with all its land
You're all I see





[Chorus: x2]

Overall Meaning

The song "Les histoires d'amour" by Anna Karina is a beautiful love song that talks about the bond between two people, a little man and a little girl, who have grown up together and share a deep connection. The song talks about how they don't need to hide from anyone when they are together and that they hope to always stay that way until they catch the sun.


The chorus of the song repeats twice, emphasizing how the little girl is running and singing, but the little man is always near her, catching her hand and hearing her. The verse then goes on to talk about how the little girl has grown old, her mother has passed away, and she has learned what it means to be mature. The little man, on the other hand, still sees her as the same little girl he grew up with, and he looks at her face and wonders if there is still a place for make-believe in the world.


The final verse brings the song around full circle, with the little man reaffirming that he only sees the little girl, and that's the way it will always be. The song is a beautiful representation of the innocence and purity of childhood bonds that can last into adulthood.
