Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Le roi, la reine et le petit prince

Lundi matin, le roi, la reine et le petit prince
Sont venus chez moi pour me serrer la pince
Mais comme je n′étais pas là
Le petit prince a dit:
"Puisque c'est comme ça, nous reviendrons mardi"

Lundi, mardi

Mardi matin, le roi, la reine et le petit prince
Sont venus chez moi pour me serrer la pince
Mais comme je n′étais pas là
Le petit prince a dit:
"Puisque c'est comme ça, nous reviendrons mercredi"

Lundi, mardi, mercredi

Mercredi matin, le roi, la reine et le petit prince
Sont venus chez moi pour me serrer la pince
Mais comme je n'étais pas là
Le petit prince a dit:
"Puisque c′est comme ça, nous reviendrons jeudi"

Lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi

Jeudi matin, le roi, la reine et le petit prince
Sont venus chez moi pour me serrer la pince
Mais comme je n′étais pas là
Le petit prince a dit:
"Puisque c'est comme ça, nous reviendrons vendredi"

Lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi

Vendredi matin, le roi, la reine et le petit prince
Sont venus chez moi pour me serrer la pince
Mais comme je n′étais pas là
Le petit prince a dit:
"Puisque c'est comme ça, nous reviendrons samedi"

Lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi, samedi

Samedi matin, le roi, la reine et le petit prince
Sont venus chez moi pour me serrer la pince
Mais comme je n′étais pas là
Le petit prince a dit:
"Puisque c'est comme ça, nous reviendrons dimanche"

Lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi, samedi, dimanche

Dimanche matin, le roi, la reine et le petit prince
Sont venus chez moi pour me serrer la pince
Mais comme je n′étais pas là

Le petit prince a dit:
"Bien, puisque c'est comme ça, nous ne reviendrons jamais"

Overall Meaning

In Carmen Campagne's song "Le petit Prince," the singer recounts a story of the king, queen, and the little prince coming to visit her home every day of the week, hoping to meet her. However, the singer is never there, and the little prince suggests they come back the next day. This cycle continues until the seventh day, when the singer is not there again, and the little prince decides they will never come back.

The song can be interpreted in various ways, but one possible explanation is that the king, queen, and the little prince represent different aspects of society that persistently seek validation and attention from individuals. The singer, on the other hand, can be seen as an independent personality who does not conform to societal norms and values. By not being present, the singer symbolizes a rejection of societal expectations, and the little prince's decision to stop visiting represents the acceptance that some people may not conform to societal standards.

Overall, the song's catchy tune and rhythmic lyrics can offer an enjoyable experience to listeners while also raising questions about societal expectations and conformity.
