Sweet Darling
Fréro Delavega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'ai vu les portes se fermer,
Tant j'ai de mal à te cerner
Ta mélancolie en ces dimanches passés, affalée
J'ai vu des tonnes de pères,
Des jambes à l'envers
Crois moi je te jure,
Oh my sweet darling oh oh oh, don't go
Oh my sweet darling, don't go
Oh my sweet darling oh oh oh, don't go
Oh my sweet darling, don't go
J'ai cru que je serai capable,
Quand t'étais détestable
De rester agréable,
Et j'étais sûr que j'étais tout
Et j'étais tout sauf ça
J'ai cru que ce serait facile
Du côté tactile
Grâce à toi j'ai compris le sens du mot torride
Et juste pour ça
Oh my sweet darling oh oh oh, don't go
Oh my sweet darling, don't go
Oh my sweet darling oh oh oh, don't go
Oh my sweet darling, ah (darling)
Palapapapalapa yeah
Palapapalapalapalapapapa
Palapapapalapa yeah
Palapapalapalapalapapapa
J'ai vu ces nuits sans fin
Et ces lendemains
Sur ma peau j'en tiens, tous les refrains
La sueur de ce soir où vous et moi un peu par hasard
J'ai vu les premières fois, des hauts des bas
Et tant d'ébats sur des gens comme moi
Attention à toi
Car tes fesses, moi je m'en lasse pas
Oh my sweet darling oh oh oh, don't go
Oh my sweet darling, don't go
Oh my sweet darling oh oh oh, don't go
Oh my sweet darling, ah (darling)
Palapapapalapa yeah
Palapapalapalapalapapapa
Palapapapalapa yeah
Palapapalapalapalapapapa
The first verse of "Sweet Darling" by Fréro Delavega paints a picture of someone who has experienced many endings and closed doors. The singer struggles to understand the person they are speaking to, who seems to be melancholic and draped over Sundays past. The second verse then delves into the singer's own struggles. They thought they would be able to remain pleasant and agreeable when the other person was unpleasant, but they were unable to. The singer then admits they thought being physically intimate with the person would be easy, but they learned the true meaning of the word "torrid" through them. Despite their struggles, the chorus repeats in a plea for the sweet darling not to leave.
The song seems to be about a tumultuous relationship with someone who is not easily understood. The singer has experienced many difficult moments with this person, but they cannot bring themselves to let go. The chorus repeating the same plea also seems to convey a desperation to keep the relationship alive. The verses reveal that both the singer and the sweet darling have their own struggles within the relationship. Despite the difficulties, the passionate moments they have shared seem to keep them coming back to one another.
