Heavily influenced by American rock & roll, Mitchell (who went solo in 1963) has often recorded outside France, at first in London, but later in Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee. Guitarist Jimmy Page and drummer Bob Graham were among the British session musicians who regularly supported him in London.
Base ball
Eddy Mitchell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu es encore plus dure
Qu'une balle de base-ball
Une balle de base-ball
Tu es dure avec moi
Tu vas de l'un à l'autre
Comme une balle de base-ball
Je crois te tenir
Pas du tout
Je veux te retenir
Rien à faire
Tu es dure avec moi
Y a longtemps que ca dure
Ton petit jeu de base-ball (x5)
Tu es dure (x4)
Base-ball (x2)
The song “Base-ball,” sung by Eddy Mitchell, is a French love song that speaks of a bittersweet relationship between two people. The lyrics of the song suggest that the singer is in love with a woman who is very tough and hard with him. In fact, she is even harder than a baseball that can be quite unforgiving in contact sports like baseball; the song describes her as being tougher than that. The repetition of the line “tu es dure” (you are hard) emphasizes the physicality of the woman and the emotional distance that exists between the two lovers.
The line “tu vas de l’un à l’autre” (you are going from one to another) implies that the woman is unfaithful or has been unfaithful in the past. The singer tries to hold onto the woman but continuously fails as she remains out of reach. The metaphor of the baseball is expanded upon as the singer tries to capture the woman, but she continues to move away, like a baseball that keeps getting thrown from one player to another, a ball that keeps changing hands, out of reach.
Overall, the song “Base-ball” is a dark and poignant tale of a troubled relationship, and the lyrics paint a vivid picture of the difficult and complicated nature of love.
