Billy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dansons tu dis

Et moi je suis

Mes pas sont gauches

Mes pieds tu fauches

Je crains les sots

Je cherche en vain les mots

Pour m'expliquer ta vie alors

Tu ments ma Soeur

Tu brises mon coeur

Je pense tu sais

Erreurs jamais

J'ecoute tu parles

Je ne comprends pas bien

La belle dame sans regrets

Je pleure tu ris

Je chante tu cries

Tu semes les graines

D'un mauvais chéne

Mon ble s'envole

Tu en a ras le bol

J'attends, toujours

Mes cris sont sourds

Tu ments, ma Soeur

Tu brises mon coeur

Je pense, tu sais

Erreurs, jamais

J'ecoute, tu parles

Je ne comprends pas bien

La belle dame sans regrets

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Billy Childs's song "La Belle Dame Sans Regrets" paint a picture of a tumultuous and confusing relationship, where the singer is constantly at odds with his partner. The song begins with the partner suggesting they dance, but the singer admits he's clumsy and can't keep up. He's also afraid of saying the wrong thing and misunderstanding his partner's life. Throughout the song, the partner lies and breaks the singer's heart repeatedly, leaving him confused and unsure of how to handle the relationship.

The singer's emotions swing from crying to laughing, and from singing to yelling, while the partner seems to plant seeds of negativity in their relationship, causing the singer to lose hope and feel unheard. The title, "La Belle Dame Sans Regrets" which translates to "The Beautiful Lady Without Regrets," seems to be a nod to a medieval French poem about a seductress who tempts men to their doom, suggesting the partner in this song may have similar intentions.

Overall, the lyrics to "La Belle Dame Sans Regrets" explore themes of confusion, deception, and a relationship that is in turmoil. The singer is left feeling unheard and mistreated, while the partner seems to be causing chaos without any remorse.
