Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te souviens tu de moi, belle dame
J'étais là au début
Quand tu n'étais pas plus qu'une femme
Que fais tu donc ici
Je te croyais partie en voyage
Lorsque moi un beau jour
Tu étais autrefois aussi brune que moi
Ca te change mais ton coeur de paillettes
Est une île déserte c'est étrange
Mon coeur n'est pas désert
Il décide, il préfère, il invente
J'ai des miiliers d'amis
Qui m'ont suivie depuis que je chante
Ensemble ensemble
Essayons d'être une fois ensemble ensemble
Ensemble c'est bon de se retrouver
Tu te couvres de plumes
Et de pierres de lune et tu danses
Tu n'as jamais le temps
Et tu souffres souvent d'impatience
Pour en arriver là
J'ai marché devant toi sans t'attendre
Laisse tomber les critiques
Suis plutôt la musique viens apprendre
Ensemble ensemble
Essayons d'être une fois ensemble ensemble
Ensemble c'est bon de se retrouver
Les copains de toujours
Et ton premier amour se demandent
Si tu as oubliés les moments du passé
S'ils te manquent
Je n'ai rien oublié
Des instants du passé quoi qu'on dise
Mais à vivre de mémoire, on arrive nulle part
On dérive
Ensemble ensemble
Essayons d'être une fois ensemble ensemble
Ensemble on ne retient pas le temps
The lyrics of the song "Ensemble" by Dalida & Yolanda depict a conversation between two individuals who used to be close but have now gone their separate ways. The first verse sets the stage for this encounter, with one person expressing surprise at seeing the other and reminiscing about the past when they were both young. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and curiosity about what the other person has been up to.
The second verse reveals that the person who is speaking had decided to move on and turn the page on their shared history. They express surprise that the other person is still around and questions why they are here. The lyrics suggest that the singer had expected the other person to have left on a journey, emphasizing the sense of departure and change.
The third verse introduces a contrast between the appearances of the two individuals. It is mentioned that the other person used to have dark hair like the singer but has since changed. However, the lyrics also imply that despite this physical transformation, the heart of the other person remains the same - filled with glittering dreams but also a sense of loneliness. In contrast, the singer claims to have a heart that is not deserted, one that decides, prefers, and invents. They mention having thousands of friends who have followed them throughout their singing career.
The fourth and final verse brings the two individuals together again, suggesting that it is good for them to reunite. The lyrics describe the other person as adorning themselves with feathers and moonstones, suggesting a desire for freedom and expression. The lyrics also imply that they are often impatient and suffer because of it. The singer, on the other hand, urges the other person to let go of criticism and instead follow the music and learn. The idea of being together is emphasized once again, reinforcing the notion of their reunion.
Overall, "Ensemble" portrays a bittersweet encounter between two individuals who share a past but have pursued different paths. The lyrics speak to the complexities of relationships, the longing for connection, and the importance of living in the present rather than dwelling on memories.
