L'Amour En Cadillac
Eddy Mitchell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'ai pris une option
Mon crédit est bon
Mon leasing parfait
Mon banquier le sait
Demain je l'aurai
Si le garage est prêt
Et je t'emmènerai
Faire l'amour en
Cadillac
En forêt, au bois, dans un parc
Où tu voudras je serai prêt
Au grand jour, en secret
Faire l'amour en
Cadillac
Dans un château tout près d'un parc
Mon lecteur de cassettes est prêt
Et la stéréo fait :
Oh oh
Eh eh
Dou you dance ?

Do you wanna dance ?
Oh oh
Eh eh
Dou you dance ?
Oh oh
Eh eh
Dou you dance ?
Do you wanna dance ?
Oh oh
Eh eh
Dou you dance ?

J'ai perdu l'option
Mon crédit c'est non
Mon leasing est cuit
Mon banquier l'a dit
Demain il l'aura
Il peut s'offrir ça
Et il t'emmènera
Faire l'amour en
Cadillac
En forêt, au bois, dans un parc
Où tu voudras il sera prêt
Au grand jour, en secret
Faire l'amour en
Cadillac
Dans un château tout près d'un lac
Son lecteur de cassettes est prêt
Et sa stéréo fait :
Oh oh
Eh eh
Dou you dance ?
Do you wanna dance ?
Oh oh
Eh eh
Dou you dance ?
Oh oh
Eh eh
Dou you dance ?
Do you wanna dance ?
Oh oh
Eh eh
Dou you dance ?
Oh oh
Eh eh
Dou you dance ?
Do you wanna dance ?
Oh oh
Eh eh
Dou you dance ?
Oh oh
Eh eh




Dou you dance ?
Do you wanna dance ?

Overall Meaning

The song L'Amour En Cadillac by Eddy Mitchell is a fun and lively French track that talks about the singer's desire to impress their lover by buying a Cadillac. In the first half of the song, the singer talks about how they have taken an option on the car and their credit is good, and they have arranged for a perfect leasing plan with their banker. The singer expresses confidence that they will get their hands on the car soon, and they can take their lover for a romantic drive, where they can make love in the Cadillac. They suggest they can do it in a forest, a park or any other place of their lover's choice. They reassure their lover that they will be ready whether it's during the day or at night and in secret or out in the open.


However, in the second half of the song, the singer informs that they have lost the option to buy the Cadillac. The credit is no longer valid, and the leasing plan has fallen through. The singer paints a picture of their banker now being the proud owner of the Cadillac and taking their lover for a drive instead. Nevertheless, the chorus still captures the singer's invitation for their lover to dance in their car, indicating that they can still have fun together, with or without the car.


The song showcases the singer's desire to impress their lover and their excitement to be able to share a romantic moment in a luxurious car. It also touches on the sad reality that class differences exist and can get in the way of achieving one's dreams.
