Dans Un An Et Un Jour
Art Mengo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dans un an et un jour
Si personne n'est passé
Réclamer notre amour
Aux sentiments trouvés

Au milieu des portables
Et des parapluies percés
Je serai bien capable
De venir te chercher

Dans un an et un jour
Si personne n'est venu
Réclamer notre amour
Aux sentiments perdus

Au milieu des cartables
Et des portefeuilles vidés
Tu serais bien aimable
De venir me chercher

Dans un an et un jour
C'est ce que se disent les clés
Et les bouquins de poche
Aux pages déjà cornées

Dans un an et un jour
Si personne n'est passé
Réclamer notre amour
Aux sentiments trouvés

Au milieu des portables
Et des parapluies percés
Je serai bien capable
De venir te chercher

Dans un an et un jour
C'est ce qu'attendent les cuirs
En serviettes et blousons
Pour enfin ressortir

C'est un compte à rebours
Pour lunettes de soleil
Que l'ombre des cartons
Empêche de voir le ciel

Dans un an et un jour
Si personne n'est venu
Réclamer notre amour
Aux sentiments perdus

Au milieu des cartables
Et des portefeuilles vidés
Tu serais bien aimable
De venir me chercher

Dans un an et un jour
C'est ce que se disent les clés
Et les bouquins de poche
Aux pages déjà cornées

Plus d'écrins, plus de velours
C'est ce que veulent les alliances
En rêvant de main gauche
D'oreillers, de confidences





Dans un an et un jour

Overall Meaning

The song "Dans Un An Et Un Jour" by Art Mengo is a poignant expression of the longing for a rekindled love.

The singer expresses his eagerness to keep that promise and search for his lost love, even if nobody else comes looking for them. The imagery of the song evokes a sense of melancholy as it describes the passage of time, the mundanity of life, and the desperate hope for a rekindling of a love that may have been forgotten.


The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer expresses his hope for a reunion with his lost love. He talks about the promise they made to each other and the need for it to be fulfilled.

The imagery of being in a busy street with a sense of chaos all around him but still having the focus only on finding his beloved is touching. The rest of the song talks about different objects that are waiting for something to happen, like the keys waiting to unlock the door of the house, or the leather jackets waiting to be worn again.
