Fiesta
L'aventure est là
Taureau, corrida

Lidia
J'fais les cent pas
En zapatillas

Tronçon de pièce
Bleu sous-marine
J'ai pas voulu replonger

Je tire à blanc
J'ai une angine
Une grippe carabinée

Puzzle
Un peu seul
Multipyramidal

Jingle
Jungle
Trop plein, tropical

Coma
Ça fait des dégâts
D'ignorer toutes les lois

Cobra
J'sue sous mon bandana
En tenue de combat

Dans mon deux-pièces
J'fais mon footing
J'ai pas l'air conditionné

Je passe l'éponge
Je coupe la clim
Faut savoir se ménager

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song “Fiesta, L'aventure est là, Taureau, corrida” sets the mood of the song as an adventurous one. The lyrics describe a journey full of excitement and adrenaline, possibly in the context of a wild Spanish fiesta. The singer mentions various contrasting images, such as "Tronçon de pièce, Bleu sous-marine," which could be a piece of a submarine that has sunk deep into the ocean. He also mentions being sick and tired, as in "J'ai une grippe carabinée" and "Je passe l'éponge, Je coupe la clim, Faut savoir se ménager."

The chorus of the song revolves around the theme of puzzlement, as evident from the repetition of the line "Puzzle, Un peu seul, Multipyramidal." The use of the word "Jungle" and "Trop plein, tropical" suggest an exotic location, further enhancing the sense of adventure in the song. The lyrics of "Cobra, J'sue sous mon bandana, En tenue de combat" add a touch of danger to the song, with the singer feeling like a warrior on a mission.

The song's overall message could be interpreted as a celebration of the journey of life, with all its ups and downs, twists and turns, and unexpected surprises. It encourages listeners to embrace the puzzle of life, manage their energy levels, and find joy in the journey.
