J'attends
Ben Mazué Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nous deux ça chancelle souvent
Non ça n'est pas de ta faute saches-le ça si
Nous deux ça tangue de temps en temps
J'aimerais tant que ça marche que je ne te dis pas tout
Pour que tu me reviennes heureuse
Mais j'ai jamais cessé d'être amoureuse
Alors j'attends que la vie passe, que le temps fasse son effet
J'ai peur quand j'y pense, d'oublier qui j'étais mais
J'attends, j'attends
J'attends, j'attends, j'attends
De mon espoir qu'il se décide
Maintenant, à prendre les choses en main
J'attends, j'attends
J'attends, j'attends, j'attends
De moi que je m'évanouisse devant ce qui m'attends pour demain
On retiendra de notre ambition qu'elle était digne
Avec un soupçon d'utopie
On retiendra de notre passion qu'elle était fine
Pas du genre de celles qui détruisent
J'aimerais tant que ça marche
Que je m'habituerai
À remettre mon titre en jeu
J'aimerais tant que ça marche
Que je recommencerai s'il fallait
Même si je pense qu'on peut faire encore mieux
Alors j'attends que la vie passe
Que le temps fasse son effet
J'ai peur quand j'y pense, de m'éroder, de m'user
J'attends, j'attends
J'attends de mon espoir qu'il se décide
Maintenant, à prendre les choses en main
J'attends, de ton désir qu'il réussisse
J'attends, de nos enfants qu'ils s'épanouissent
J'attends, de moi, que je m'évanouisse devant ce qui m'attend pour demain
J'attends, de ton envie qu'elle ressuscite
J'attends, de ta colère qu'elle se dissipe
J'attends, de mon espoir qu'il se décide maintenant à prendre les choses en main
J'attends, de ton désir qu'il réussisse
J'attends, de nos enfants qu'ils s'épanouissent
J'attends, de moi, que je m'évanouisse devant ce qui m'attend pour demain
The song "J'attends" by Ben Mazué is about a relationship struggles and the hope for it to work out. The lyrics suggest that the problems in the relationship are entirely his fault and he doesn't blame his partner for the ups and downs that they experience together. He wants the relationship to work so badly that he keeps certain things to himself in hopes of making his partner happy and bringing her back to him. He states that he has never stopped loving her, but he's afraid of forgetting himself in this process. He is waiting for time to heal their wounds and for life to take its course.
The chorus "J'attends" is repeated throughout the song, which directly translates to "I'm waiting" in English. Ben is waiting for hope to take the initiative, for his partner's desire to succeed, and for their children to flourish. He's also waiting for his own hope to decide to take action and face whatever the future holds.
Overall, the song suggests that love is complicated and requires patience and perseverance, even when it's not easy. The lyrics suggest that relationships require compromise and an ongoing effort to make things work.

We will remember from our ambition that it was worthy
With a hint of utopia
We will remember from our passion that it was refined
Not the kind that destroys
Que je m'habituerai
À remettre mon titre en jeu
That I will get used to
Putting my title back on the line
Même si je pense qu'on peut faire encore mieux
Alors j'attends que la vie passe
Even though I think we can do even better
So I wait for life to pass
Que le temps fasse son effet
J'ai peur quand j'y pense, de m'éroder, de m'user
For time to work its magic
I'm afraid when I think about it, of eroding, of wearing myself out
J'attends, j'attends
De ton désir qu'il réussisse
J'attends, de nos enfants qu'ils s'épanouissent
J'attends, de moi, que je m'évanouisse devant ce qui m'attend pour demain
I wait, I wait
For your desire to succeed
I wait, for our children to flourish
I wait, for myself to fade away in front of what awaits me for tomorrow
J'attends, de ton envie qu'elle ressuscite
J'attends, de ta colère qu'elle se dissipe
J'attends, de mon espoir qu'il se décide maintenant à prendre les choses en main
I wait, for your desire to revive
I wait, for your anger to dissipate
I wait, for my hope to now decide to take things in hand
J'attends, de ton désir qu'il réussisse
J'attends, de nos enfants qu'ils s'épanouissent
J'attends, de moi, que je m'évanouisse devant ce qui m'attend pour demain
I wait, for your desire to succeed
I wait, for our children to flourish
I wait, for myself to fade away in front of what awaits me for tomorrow

Tu as tout dit
@ozwanno
Les graves de Pomme transportent..les envolées dans les aigus idem... Les harmonies à la fin sont dingues... Le texte est super joli et plein de sens.. Gros gros coup de coeur
@remynock2824
Les ingrédients principaux sont les talents associés de Pomme et Ben Mazué. Ajoute à ça la beauté des paroles de J’attends, un joli air de guitare, quelques accords au clavier et leurs voix qui se confondent…Avec tout ça, tu obtiens une session acoustique tout en délicatesse. Ça me donne envie de faire des câlins à la Terre entière.
C’est ce genre de moment qui me rappelle pourquoi j’aime tant la musique. Quand ça te fait quelque chose au niveau des tripes, que c’est pas vraiment rationnel, mais pourtant ton cœur se met à battre un peu plus vite.
Tu appuies juste sur repeat pour que ça ne s’arrête pas tout de suite.
