Souviens-Toi
Camille Bazbaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sous mes doigts il y avait ta peau
Sur ta peau il y avait mon corps
Et dans mon corps il y avait ton coeur qui me disait
"encore, encore"

Sous mes doigts il y avait l'envie
L'envie de rester dans ton lit
Sous tous les toits, tous les pays pour la vie
Tu me dissais "encore et encore et encore"

REFRAIN:
Souviens toi il etait une fois
Souviens toi une fois qu'on oublie pas
Souviens toi il etait une fois

Sous mes doigts je jouais de ton corps
La même chanson jusqu'à l'aurore
Sans vouloir me vanter c'est vrai
Je dois dire que tu me disais "encore, encore"

Entre mes doigts tu as glisses
Je n'ai jamais pu te rattrapper
Evidement dans mon sommeil j'entends ta voix qui me disait "encore, encore, encore"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Camille Bazbaz's "Souviens-Toi" depict a passionate affair that has come to a bittersweet end. In the first verse, the singer reminisces about the intimate moments she shared with her lover, where his skin was under her fingers and her body was on his, and all she heard was his heart beating with a desire for more. The repeated use of "encore," which translates to "again" or "more" in French, emphasizes the insatiable longing the lovers had for each other. The second verse adds to the intensity of the relationship, with the singer playing the same song on her lover's body until sunrise, and him urging her to continue. However, the bridge paints a different picture, where the lover slips away from the singer's grasp, and she can only hear his voice in her dreams saying "encore" repeatedly.


The most significant aspect of the lyrics is how the repeated word "encore" serves multiple purposes. It is not only a manifestation of the lovers' desire for each other, but it also represents the nostalgia and longing that the singer feels for the passionate moments she shared with her lover. One can also argue that the repetition of the word represents the cyclical nature of relationships, where we are drawn back to the one who holds our heart, no matter how hard we try to move on. The singer's use of sensory language, where the lovers' bodies and hearts are intertwined and cannot be separated, adds to the emotional weight of the song.

Bazbaz est tout simplement le meilleur, à la fois Gainsbourg, Dutronc, Doors et Beatles. Un chanteur génial aux paroles exquises.
