Alone à Barcelone
Emmanuelle Seigner Lyrics

The lyrics to Emmanuelle Seigner's song Alone à Barcelone are about a woman who finds herself alone in Barcelona, waiting for the clock to strike midnight. She is enjoying the boisterous and lively atmosphere of the city at night, but she feels out of place and not quite like a "Madone" (Madonna), or a saintly figure. She is not looking to be worshipped or idolized, but rather she is seeking acceptance and perhaps a sense of belonging in a place where she is an outsider.

Throughout the song, the woman observes the people around her - the drunken revelers, the girls and boys who eye her up as she makes her way through the crowds - and she realizes that she is not like them. She is a "lone" figure in Barcelona, despite the throngs of people around her. She feels overlooked and misunderstood, like when someone mistook her for a "conne" (idiot), which cements her sense of isolation.

The song is a commentary on the experience of being alone in a foreign place, and the desire for connection and understanding that comes with it. While the woman in the song may be enjoying the vibrant and exciting nightlife of Barcelona, she is still seeking a deeper connection with others. Ultimately, she remains "alone a Barcelone," resigned to her lonely fate.
