At the age of 5, her family left for Paris. When she was 19, she decided to stop studying art and architecture, to become a full-time model.
She was a very successful fashion model until 1998. Since then she has devoted herself to chanson. Her debut album, Quelqu'un m'a dit, on which she sings in French (despite her Italian origin), was released in 2002. To date it has sold over a million copies across Europe. Her second album, No Promises (this time in English, with songs inspired by famous English-language poets), was released in January 2007.
She married then French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, in the beginning of 2008.
Her music career still did not cease after becoming the First Lady. She released her third album Comme si de rien n'était ("As If Nothing Happened") on 11 July 2008. The songs are self-penned except for one rendition of You Belong to Me and another song featuring a poem by Michel Houellebecq set to music. Royalties from the album will be donated to unidentified charitable and humanitarian cause.
Le ciel dans une chambre
Carla Bruni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cette chambre n'a plus de parois
Mais des arbres oui, des arbres infinis
Et quand tu es tellement près de moi
C'est comme si ce plafond-là
Il n'existait plus
Je vois le ciel penché sur nous
Tout comme si il n'y avait plus rien
Non plus rien d'autre au monde
Et j'entends l'harmonica
Mais on dirait un orgue qui chante
Pour toi et pour moi
Là-haut dans le ciel infini
Et pour toi, et pour moi
Et pour toi, et pour moi
Quando sei qui con me
Questa stanza non ha più pareti
Ma alberi, alberi infiniti
E se tu sei vicino a me
Questo soffitto, viola, no, non esiste più
E vedo il cielo sopra a noi
Che restiamo quì abbandonati
Come se non ci fosse più niente più niente al mondo
Suona l'armonica
Mi sembra un organo che canta per te e per me
Su nell'immensità del cielo
Per te e per me
Mais pour toi et pour moi
Carla Bruni's song "Le ciel dans une chambre" (The Sky in a Room) is a beautiful love song that describes how being close to someone you love can make everything else disappear around you. The song talks about how a room can transform into a limitless space with infinite trees when you are with your loved one. The walls disappear, and the ceiling turns into the sky that seems to be leaning over you. It gives the sense of being lost in the vast expanse of the universe with only the two of you.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about the distant sound of an organ that seems to be playing just for her and her lover. The music blends in with the vastness of the sky and creates a beautiful space where there is no one else in the world but them. The harmonica notes combined with the singer's voice add an ethereal quality to the song, making it an enchanting experience.
Overall, the lyrics of "Le ciel dans une chambre" express the powerful emotions that come with being in love. Whether love is present in a small room or a vast universe, it has the power to make everything else fade away, and all that remains is the magic of the moment.

Quand tu es près de moi
When you are near me
Cette chambre n'a plus de parois
This room has no more walls
Mais des arbres oui, des arbres infinis
But yes, endless trees
Et quand tu es tellement près de moi
And when you are so close to me
C'est comme si ce plafond-là
It's as if that ceiling there
Il n'existait plus
Does not exist anymore
Je vois le ciel penché sur nous
I see the sky bent over us
Qui restons ainsi abandonnés
Who remain abandoned like this
Tout comme si il n'y avait plus rien
Just as if there was nothing left
Non plus rien d'autre au monde
Nothing else in the world
Et j'entends l'harmonica
And I hear the harmonica
Mais on dirait un orgue qui chante
But it sounds like an organ that sings
Pour toi et pour moi
For you and for me
Là-haut dans le ciel infini
High up in the infinite sky
Et pour toi, et pour moi
And for you, and for me
Et pour toi, et pour moi
And for you, and for me

When you are close to me
This room hasn’t got any walls
But trees, yes, an infinity of trees4
And when you are so close to me
It’s like this ceiling here
Didn’t exist anymore, i see the sky leaning towards us, who remain like this
Abandoned like this,
There is nothing more, no nothing more from the other world
I hear the harmonica, but we would say an organ
Which sings for you and me
Up there in the infinite sky
And for you and for me
When you are here with me
This room hasn't got any walls
But trees, an infinity of trees
And when you are close to me
This ceiling, not purple
Doesn't exist anymore, and i see the sky above us
Who remain here, abandoned like this,
There was nothing more, no nothing more in this world
The harmonica plays, it seems an organ to me
Which sings for you and me
In the immensity of the sky
for you and for me
for you and for me

Quand tu es près de moi
Cette chambre n'a plus de parois
Mais des arbres oui, des arbres infinis
Et quand tu es tellement près de moi
C'est comme si ce plafond-là
Il n'existait plus, je vois le ciel penché sur nous
Qui restons ainsi
Abandonnés tout comme si
Il n'y avait plus rien, non plus rien d'autre au monde
J'entends l'harmonica... Mais on dirait un orgue
Qui chante pour toi et pour moi
Là-haut dans le ciel infini
Et pour toi, et pour moi
Mmmhhhhhhhh
Et pour toi, et pour moi
Mmmhhhhhhhh
Quando sei qui con me
Questa stanza non ha piu pareti
Ma alberi, alberi infiniti
E se tu sei vicino a me
Questo soffitto, viola, no
Non esiste più, e vedo il cielo sopra a noi
Che restiamo quì, abbandonati come se
Non ci fosse più niente più niente al mondo
Suona l'armonica, mi sembra un organo
Che canta per te e per me
Su nell'immensità del cielo
E per te e per me
Mmmhhhhhhhh
Et pour toi, et pour moi
Mmmhhhhhhhh

Clelia Sam
Sono sola nella mia camera, nel mio appartamento in affitto. Sono le 18,22, sono a letto, guardo il soffitto. Fuori è nuvoloso ma attraverso il mio soffitto io vedo un cielo azzurro. Mia mamma è lontana. Al minuto 2,26 l'acustica mi porta in un bel posto dandomi una sensazione di leggerezza e nostalgica libertà. E così aspetto che passi.
Lascio questo messaggio per poterlo rileggere un giorno e ricordarmi di quando questa canzone mi teneva compagnia, in un pomeriggio di isolamento e dolce tristezza, affetta da Covid e nutrita della mia solitudine. Spero che mi strapperà un sorriso.
