Baby Carni Bird
Camille Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La route était barrée
Quand il m'a renversée
Un soir au nord de Nice

Eblouie par les phares
J'ai croisé son regard
Et je me suis jetée
Ravale ta salive
Ton orgueil de fille!

Je me suis relevée et je lui ai donné
La main qu'il me restait

Mais j'avais oublié
Mon nom de jeune fille
Alors j'ai inventé

"My name is Baby Carni Bird
I'm the only one in the world
I'm yours
For I can fly up in the air
And you can shoot me when you like
I'm yours"

Le ciel est une cime
D'où sombrent les étoiles
Et nous y sommes allés

À travers le pare-brise
J'ai vu fondre les neiges
Des plus hauts sommets

Mouillées ses babines
Ses dents c'étaient des limes
Ses yeux des pièges à loup

Et ses contes de feu
De fée de cheval fou
M'empêchaient de dormir

"My name is Baby Carni Bird
I'm the only one in the world
I'm yours
For I can fly up in the air
And you can shoot me when you like
I'm yours"

La route était barrée
Quand on m'a retrouvée
En sang au nord de Nice

Le ciel est une cime
D'où l'on ne revient jamais





Mais le dites pas à la police
Le dites pas à la police

Overall Meaning

The song "Baby Carni Bird" by Camille tells a story of a dangerous but exciting road trip with a lover who may not be trustworthy. The lyrics describe how the singer meets the lover when she is hit by his car one night in the north of Nice. As she is dazzled by the headlights, she locks eyes with him and willingly throws herself into his arms. However, she soon realizes the dangers of the relationship as the lover suggests that she suppress her pride and follow him blindly. Despite this, she pretends to be someone she is not, inventing the name Baby Carni Bird and claiming that she can fly and be shot at will.


As the road trip continues, the singer and the lover journey into the sky, where they witness the melting of snow from the highest peaks. The lover's enigmatic personality comes to the forefront as she realizes that he may be telling her stories that are too good to be true.

The song ends on a tragic note, with the singer being found injured in the north of Nice, suggesting that the relationship ended badly.

La route était barrée
The road was closed


Quand il m'a renversée
When he hit me


Un soir au nord de Nice
One evening in the north of Nice


Eblouie par les phares
Blinded by the headlights


J'ai croisé son regard
I met his gaze


Et je me suis jetée
And I threw myself


Ravale ta salive
Swallow your spit


Ton orgueil de fille!
Your pride as a girl!


Je me suis relevée et je lui ai donné
I got up and gave him


La main qu'il me restait
The hand that was left to me


Mais j'avais oublié
But I had forgotten


Mon nom de jeune fille
My maiden name


Alors j'ai inventé
So I invented


"My name is Baby Carni Bird
"My name is Baby Carni Bird


I'm the only one in the world
I'm the only one in the world


I'm yours
I'm yours


For I can fly up in the air
Because I can fly up in the air


And you can shoot me when you like
And you can shoot me whenever you want


I'm yours"
I'm yours"


Le ciel est une cime
The sky is a peak


D'où sombrent les étoiles
From where the stars sink


Et nous y sommes allés
And we went there


À travers le pare-brise
Through the windshield


J'ai vu fondre les neiges
I saw the snow melting


Des plus hauts sommets
From the highest peaks


Mouillées ses babines
Wet were his lips


Ses dents c'étaient des limes
His teeth were like files


Ses yeux des pièges à loup
His eyes were traps for wolves


Et ses contes de feu
And his tales of fire


De fée de cheval fou
Of a fairy on a crazy horse


M'empêchaient de dormir
Prevented me from sleeping


"My name is Baby Carni Bird
"My name is Baby Carni Bird


I'm the only one in the world
I'm the only one in the world


I'm yours
I'm yours


For I can fly up in the air
Because I can fly up in the air


And you can shoot me when you like
And you can shoot me whenever you want


I'm yours"
I'm yours"


La route était barrée
The road was closed


Quand on m'a retrouvée
When they found me


En sang au nord de Nice
Bleeding in the north of Nice


Le ciel est une cime
The sky is a peak


D'où l'on ne revient jamais
From where one never returns


Mais le dites pas à la police
But don't tell the police


Le dites pas à la police
Don't tell the police

This song is awesome. The whole album is quite an interesting trip, especially because of the constant hummed note that sustains through every single track.

Athtar Asterios

Which is why the album is called "Le Fil" (The Thread). :p
