Niagara
Clerc Julien Lyrics

Hey Niagara
The singer addresses Niagara

Je t'en prie sèche tes joues
The singer requests Niagara to stop crying

Ne pleure pas
The singer asks Niagara not to cry

Hey, hey, hey
An exclamation used by the artist to capture Niagara's attention

Tu vas faire monter la Seine
Niagara's crying could cause the river Seine to flood

Arrête-toi
The singer implores Niagara to stop crying

Niagara
The singer continues to address Niagara

Je t'en prie à genoux
The artist begs Niagara on their knees

Ne m'en veux pas
The artist asks Niagara not to be angry

Hey, hey, hey
A repeated expression used by the artist to emphasize their plea

Et si je t'appelle comme ça
The singer justifies why they are using the name Niagara to address the person

C'est que ça t'va.
The artist believes this name suits Niagara

Demain matin je m'en vais prendre le train
The singer is leaving the next morning by train

Je t'en prie reste chez toi.
The singer requests Niagara to stay home

Après-demain je serai déjà bien loin
By the day after tomorrow, the singer will be far away

A l'abri de tes exploits
The artist suggests that they want to avoid any dramatic actions by Niagara

Tes sanglots sont si longs
The artist remarks on the length of Niagara's sobs

Tu inondes mon destin
Niagara's crying is causing an impact on the singer's future

De ton chagrin
The source of Niagara's sorrow

Après demain j'aimerais que les gazettes
The artist wishes not to be mentioned in the news

Ne me parlent pas de toi
The artist does not want to hear anything about Niagara in the newspapers

Les dentelles fraîches, la la la
A reference to Niagara's fresh lace handkerchiefs

De tes grands mouchoirs lilas
Niagara's large lilac-colored handkerchiefs

Ont vu plus d'écume, la la la
Niagara's handkerchiefs have seen more froth (from Niagara's crying) than the Niagara Falls itself

Que les chutes du Niagara
The handkerchiefs have seen more suds than the official Niagara Falls

Je t'en prie entre nous
The singer requests that a secret is kept between them

Retiens toi
The singer asks Niagara to hold back their tears

Une montagne qui pleure
The Niagara Falls are described as a crying mountain

Oui c'est bien toi
The artist confirms that they are indeed talking about Niagara

Je t'oublie, tu m'oublies
The singer suggests that they are going to forget each other

Restons-en là
The singer suggests that they should leave things as they are

Ne vas pas faire une baignoire
The artist cautions Niagara not to turn a small event into something bigger

D'un petit rien
A small insignificant matter

Demain matin si c'était mon dernier train
The artist hints at the possibility of dying on the next day's train journey

Je t'en prie ne t'affole pas
The singer requests that Niagara does not panic

Même si elles parlaient de moi
The artist does not want to read anything about themselves in the news, even if it is about Niagara

C'est que ça t'va.
The singer repeats that the name Niagara is fitting for the person
