Le Cœur Australie
Eiffel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et n’entrave que couic à la manœuvre
De vous à moi, la vie est ailleurs : tout au bout de nous
Le Yin et le Yang, ce kangourou
Qui bondit à la sauvage hors des rangs
La poche pleine de résistants
Tant que le rêve embrase nos jours
Et que l’aigle croise des foudres d’amour
Le cœur Australie
Désert de poussière rouge
Rosemary’s baby
Vous y êtes, il bouge
Mon amour, mon ami,
Ô prairies d’altitude
On se tient à la vie
À mélanger nos solitudes
Seigneur, j’ai pêché une perle à Broome
A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop a-lop bam boom
Et pour sa robe de sang coquelicot
Je prends les courants d’El Niño
Mon âme émane, je crève, mais avant j’aime
Dans les pâleurs fliquées de nos villes-carême
Tant que le rêve embrase nos jours
Et que l’aigle croise des foudres d’amour
Le cœur Australie
Désert de poussière rouge
Rosemary’s baby
Vous y êtes, il bouge
Mon amour, mon ami,
Ô prairies d’altitude
On se tient à la vie
À mélanger nos solitudes
Le cœur Australie
On se tient à la vie
À mélanger nos solitudes
Le cœur Australie
On se tient à la vie
À mélanger nos solitudes
Paroles ailées, branleur, je n’connais rien de ces
Terres qui s’arc-boutent sous la voûte Australe
Ni des aurores à l’autre bout boréal
Paroles ailées, c’était
Juste pour être ensemble
Et la sentir qui tremble
Cette paix noire de toujours
Aux croisées d’enfer et d’amour
Le cœur Australie
Désert de poussière rouge
Rosemary’s baby
Vous y êtes, il bouge
Mon amour, mon ami
Ô prairies d’altitude
On se tient à la vie
À mélanger nos solitudes
Nos solitudes
The lyrics of "Le Cœur Australie" by Eiffel describes the singer's desire to escape the monotony of everyday life and find a new meaning beyond the material world. The opening lines, "Je gobe les mouches dans la vallée des couleuvres, Et n’entrave que couic à la manœuvre," suggest a sense of boredom and detachment from reality. The lyrics then go on to describe the singer's longing for adventure and freedom, as represented by the image of a wild kangaroo leaping beyond the confines of society. The line "Tant que le rêve embrase nos jours / Et que l’aigle croise des foudres d’amour" suggests a hope that as long as they hold onto their dreams, they will find love and passion.
The chorus, "Le cœur Australie / Désert de poussière rouge / Rosemary's baby / Vous y êtes, il bouge / Mon amour, mon ami, Ô prairies d’altitude / On se tient à la vie / À mélanger nos solitudes," further emphasizes the singer's desire for an escape from everyday life. The reference to "Rosemary's baby" could represent the idea of a new creation or rebirth of the self in a new environment.
While the lyrics are poetic and open to interpretation, the overall theme of "Le Cœur Australie" is a desire for adventure and a search for new meaning in life beyond the mundane.
