You belong to me
Carla Bruni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Along the Nile
Watch the sun rise
On a tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs
And souvenirs
Just remember
'Till your dream appears
You belong to me
I'll be so alone
Without you
Maybe
You'll be lonesome, too
Maybe
You'll be lonesome too
And blue
Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When its wet with rains
Just remember
'Till you're home again
Or until
I come home to you
You belong to me
The song "You Belong to Me" by Carla Bruni is a romantic ballad that is about separation and distance. Throughout the lyrics, the speaker tells the person they love about all the beautiful things they will experience and witness while away from each other. The speaker doesn't want their loved one to forget that they belong to them, no matter how far away they are. The lyrics help the person to visualize the places they have been to or will go to and includes three different locations; Egypt, Algiers, and the jungle.
The opening lyrics, "See the Pyramids Along the Nile, Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle" describes two of the most beautiful and iconic places in the world where the speaker imagines their loved one going to. These two locations symbolize the beauty of the world and the wondrous things the person they love will experience. Later in the song, the speaker mentions Algiers, which is a historical city known for its architecture, markets, and unique culture.
The chorus "You belong to me" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the connection between the two people. The speaker wants their loved one to know that regardless of where they are, they still belong to them. The line "I'll be so alone without you" shows the depth of the speaker's love and how much they miss their loved one. They also acknowledge that maybe their loved one is feeling the same way and that they could be thinking of each other.
Overall, the song is a beautiful depiction of the love and longing between two people. The lyrics provide the listener with beautiful imagery of exotic locations and the speaker's love for their partner.

See the Pyramids
Look at the ancient structures in Egypt
Along the Nile
On the banks of the river Nile
Watch the sun rise
Witness the beginning of a new day
On a tropic isle
In a tropical island
Just remember darling
Don't forget, my love
All the while
Throughout your journey
You belong to me
You are mine
See the market place
Visit the bazaar
In old Algiers
In the ancient city of Algiers
Send me photographs
Take pictures for me
And souvenirs
Bring back memories for me
Just remember
Always keep in mind
'Till your dream appears
Until you achieve your aspiration
I'll be so alone
I'll be tremendously lonely
Without you
If you're not around
Maybe
Perhaps
You'll be lonesome, too
You might also feel lonely
And blue
And sad
Fly the ocean
Cross the sea by airplane
In a silver plane
On a shiny aircraft
See the jungle
Explore the rainforest
When its wet with rains
During the rainy season
Just remember
Always keep in mind
'Till you're home again
Until you return home
Or until
Or unless
I come home to you
I return to you
You belong to me
You are mine

See the pyramids along the Nile
나일강에 있는 피라미드를 볼 때
Watch the sun rise on the tropic isle
열대 섬에서 해가 뜨는 걸 볼 때
Just remember, darling, all the while
항상 기억해줘요
You belong to me
당신은 내 사람이란 걸
See the market place in old Algiers
알제리 시장에 들르면
Send me photographs and souvenirs
사진과 기념품을 보내주세요
Just remember dear you dream appear
꿈을 꿀 때도 기억해줘요
You belong to me
당신은 내 사람이란 걸
happy is so alone without you
당신 없는 행복이란 너무 외로워요
Maybe you be lonesome too and blue
당신도 외롭고 우울하겠죠
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
바다를 지나는 비행기에서나
see the jungle when it's wet with rain
비 오는 정글을 볼 때
Just remember till you home again
다시 집에 돌아올 때까지 기억해요
You belong to me
당신은 내 사람이란 걸
happy is so alone without you
당신 없는 행복이란 너무 외로워요
Maybe you be lonesome too and blue
당신도 외롭고 우울하겠죠
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
바다를 지나는 비행기에서나
see the jungle when it's wet with rain
비 오는 정글을 볼 때
Just remember till you home again
다시 집에 돌아올 때까지 기억해요
You belong to me
당신은 내 사람이란 걸

Liza Preiczer
I've loved this song eversince I can remember. And during my years as flight attendant I became evenmore attached to it. But this interpretation of Carla Bruni touched me to the core... Her rendition is filled with genuine emotions and that voice,,, wow! For me this is the best version no doubt!
