La la
Charts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pose son voile sombre
Sans bruit
Sur un théâtre d'ombres
Paris qui s'allume
La Seine et la lune
Qui passe et qui fume
Au loin...
Le passé fait sa ronde
Sans bruit
Peu à peu il m'inonde
Et dans le royaume
De mes peurs de môme
Des fées des fantômes
Anciens...
Tous ces regards qui laissent
Comme à l'écart
Tous ces mots qui nous blessent
Comme un poignard
La nuit
Mes rêves me ramènent
Sans bruit
Aux visages que j'aime
Celui de mon père
Héros légendaire
Et qui me libère
Enfin...
De tous ces regards qui laissent
Comme à l'écart
Tous ces mots qui nous blessent
Comme un poignard
Douces, les journées qui naissent
Dans ton regard
Douces comme des caresses
Dans ma mémoire
The lyrics to Charts's song La La depict a nighttime scene in Paris where the darkness of night falls quietly and covers the city like a veil. The Seine river and the moon are present, creating a smoky and atmospheric environment. This darkness seems to bring up memories from the past for the singer, memories that flow gently and begin to fill his thoughts, almost overwhelming him. The singer mentions the feelings of being afraid, haunted by ancient ghosts and fairies as the night goes on. The haunting memories and fears of the past seem to be singing la la to the singer, a phrase that is often used to represent the melody or song of comfort.
But the song takes a turn as the singer’s dreams take him to a place where he is liberated from the memories of the past. His dreams carry him to the faces of his loved ones, including that of his father who is a legendary hero in his mind. It is in these memories that he finds solace and comfort. The perspective changes from the darkness of night and the haunting memories to a feeling of warmth and comfort, memories of loved ones providing that comfort.
Furthermore, the lyrics could be interpreted as a reflection of how quickly night falls, and how it plunges us into the darkness of our thoughts and fears. Conversely, it also tells us that the light of the new day brings new hope and comfort. Overall, the song stands as a poetic representation of the importance of memories and how we cling to them for strength.
