Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La jeunesse est pailletée d'or
يا حبيبي
Viens je t'habille de mon corps
Quand le printemps crée sans effort
يا حبيبي
Pour des amoureux un décors oh
Viens, Viens حبيبي
Viens, Viens nous serons bien
Petite fille que j'aime tant
Viens je te vêts de fleurs des champs
يا حبيبي
Et de fruits mûrs et odorants
C'est l'aventure et le moment
يا حبيبي
Et des murmures et des amants oh
Viens, Viens حبيبي
Et des murmures et des amants oh
Viens, Viens nous serons bien
Quand ta jeunesse claque en vent
Prends la caresse du printemps
يا حبيبي
Un printemps riche un printemps doux
Qui met l'amour à tes genoux
يا حبيبي
Il rit très fort mais n'attend pas
Ne revient jamais sur ses pas
Il est futile, il est changeant
Et n'est ton allier qu'un instant
Môme que j'aime et que j'adore
Viens prends l'amour à bras le corps
يا حبيبي
Viens car demain est le plus fort
Il peut tout prendre avant de donner
يا حبيبي
Te laissant seul abandonné oh
Viens, Viens حبيبي
Te laissant seul abandonné oh
viens, viens nous serons bien
The lyrics to Cheb Mami's song Viens Habibi are about two lovers who are enjoying the beauty of the spring season. The singer addresses his lover as a "petite môme," which means a little girl or child, and expresses his adoration for her. The singer feels that youth is a precious time and describes it as being "pailletée d'or" or glittering with gold. He invites his lover to join him and dress her with his body, a metaphor for the intimacy they share. The spring season is a natural setting for love where everything comes to life without any effort. The singer invites his lover to enjoy this natural and perfect setting that is specially created for lovers.
The second verse of the song continues the theme of youth, love, and spring. The singer asks his lover to come with him to enjoy the beauty of the wildflowers and the ripe and fragrant fruits. He describes this moment as a time for adventure and experience, where lovers can whisper sweet words to each other and share their love. The singer emphasizes that this moment is fleeting, and he urges his lover to seize it before it passes. The passage of time is represented by the word "demain," which means tomorrow, a force that is inevitable and unrelenting. The singer urges his lover to enjoy the moment because tomorrow will always be the strongest force ready to take everything away.
