Miiaou
Carmen Maria Vega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu as un joli minois
Si tu veux me chaparder
Je te laisse croquer mon minois
Moi je voulais t'attraper
Te découper à coup de dents
Une à une toutes les plumes
Tu vois mon petit, tu vois mon petit
[Refrain:]
Et si c'était moi qui te mangeais
Gros-minet gourmand
Ce soir à minuit
On verra bien qui de toi ou moi
Aura le plus d'appétit
Se sentira un peu moins petit
Un hiéroglyphe de mascara
S'imprime sur ton oreiller
Ces silencieux m'ont laissé sans voix ni loi
Ni pense même pas mon petit, ni pense même pas
[Refrain]
The lyrics of Carmen Maria Vega's song "Miiaou" can be interpreted as a playful conversation between two characters: the singer and someone she playfully calls "gros minet" (big kitty), which could be interpreted as a reference to the famous cartoon character from Tom and Jerry. The singer tells the "big kitty" that he has a charming face and that she would let him steal a kiss from her if he wants to. However, she goes on to say that initially, she wanted to catch the big kitty and bite him off, feather by feather. The conversation turns into a playful food battle, where the singer challenges the big kitty to see who would eat whom at midnight.
The lyrics suggest that the song is about a playful flirtation between two lovers, with the playful exchange of words and the friendly banter between the two characters. The singer's off-beat and playful lyrics create a light-hearted mood, and the use of terms like "gros minet" and "mon petit" add to the whimsy of the song. The song also includes an interesting metaphor, where the singer describes the big kitty's eyeliner as a "hieroglyph of mascara" on his pillow, which adds to the quirky playfully surreal style of the song.
