noel
Edgar Bori Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Assis d’vant l’sapin à t’attendre
En fouillant le fin fond des bouteilles
Un beau Noël
Fixant tes cadeaux
Payés moins cher début novembre
Sans l’sou consolant mes orteils
L’écran HD a plongé par la f’nêtre
Ta montre Cartier s’est tapée mes coups d’marteau
Ta robe Gaultier dans l’eau d’Javel
Dantesque épopée en souv’nir de ma belle
J’ai passé Noël
À m’ramasser d’vant nos photos
Ta fraise barbouillée sur chacune d’elles
Un gros Noël
Sanglots de l’homme au-d’là des vues
Nuit du ti-coune su’a baloune, les balles perdues
Fou braquant l’chien d’sa carabine
Au su des gens gentils qui hallucinent
Babe doux be wi baow be oui dow
Babe doux bibi dé beya wo
Waow Waow
Un bas d’Noël
J’ai passé l’hiver
Souffrant d’un moyen pet au cerveau
Rêvant de brindilles mâchées quand viendra l’été
La barbe pas faite vive défaite
Mais j’ai passé l’hiver
La barbe pas faite vive défaite
Mais j’ai passé l’hiver
The song "Noël" by Edgar Bori depicts a melancholic scene of a man spending Christmas alone, waiting for his loved one who never shows up. Sitting in front of the Christmas tree, the man goes through the bottles, trying to find solace in alcohol while hoping for his lover's arrival. He stares at the expensive presents he bought her in November, now feeling empty and without comfort for his cold feet. The song takes a dark turn when the man destroys his lover's belongings, symbolized by the screen, watch, and dress. The lyrics reveal the pain and sorrow he experiences as he spends the holiday season alone, looking at their photos with tears in his eyes, longing for her presence. The song ends with the man spending the winter alone, dreaming of better days and hoping to pick up the pieces of his broken life.
Edgar Bori's "Noël" has a melancholic tone, conveying the feelings of sadness, despair, and loneliness during the holiday season. The song's slow and steady rhythm adds to the somber atmosphere, with the chorus juxtaposing the solemnity with a lighthearted, carefree tone. The lyrics give insight into the character's mental state, revealing his state of mind through the destruction of his lover's possessions. The song is an emotional rollercoaster that tugs at the listener's heartstrings and is relatable to those who may struggle during the holidays.
