Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
l'héroïne, la favorite, si chaque ver ne la site, au moins une fois...
Alors tel la dynamite, elle explose et me crie; j'te quitte, ça t'inspireras..
Si tu me quittes, j'en crèverai avant même d'avoir pu tremper ma plume d'oie; dans l' azurite de mon encrier, avant même de m'écrier; petite pourquoi?
(Rose): Moi la petite, ça m'excite, quand de manière explicite j'y ai droit; à cette ode manuscrite, ou il vente mes mérites de diva
Mais si par muse fortuite, il s'abuse, j'use de suite de ma voix;
Si tu me quittes j'en crèverai, avant même d'avoir pu tremper ma plume d'oie; dans l' azurite de mon encrier, avant même de m'écrier si vite, pourquoi?
(Julien) si tu me quittes, j'en crèverai, avant même d'avoir pu tremper ma plume d'oie; dans l' azurite de mon encrier, avant même de m'écrier petite, pourquoi?
(Ensemble) si tu me quitte, j'en crèverai, avant même d'avoir pu tremper ma plume d'oie; dans l' azurite de mon encrier, avant même de m'écrier si vite, pourquoi?
Si tu me quitte, j'en crèverai, je préfère même pas y penser, et
C'est pourquoi j'y pense vite pour composer un petit refrain de couplet et après ça, j'oublierai (4 fois)
The lyrics of Petite by Bensé Feat. Rose revolve around the fragility of the ego when it comes to matters of self-expression, specifically when writing music. Julien, in the first verse, speaks about how his muse, whom he refers to as “petite,” becomes disheartened every time a song is written where she isn’t central to the song’s theme or mentioned at least once. She becomes explosive and threatens to leave, declaring that her departure will inspire him. She tells him that she’d rather die than have to endure the shame of not being mentioned in the poetry and the songs that he writes. Rose echoes this sentiment in her verse, reveling in the moment when she is the center of his attention while being equally passionate about leaving him if she is ever ignored.
The song exudes a sense of passion, both in the musical composition and in the recurring theme of ego and self-preservation. The artists play off each other, with Julien and Rose echoing each other's ideas and lyrics. The melody is consistent and moves at a steady pace which only heightens the rambunctiousness of the lyrics. It paints a picture of a tempestuous but passionate relationship that is determined by the art that they both love.
Overall, the song depicts a relationship defined by a shared love of music, ego, and passion. The lyrics show the fragility of the human ego and how it fuels the creative process. The song stands as a beautiful representation of the power of music.
