Marie
G&F Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A surgi sur le pas de sa porte grande ouverte
Son sourire fit pâlir les rayons de midi
M’avait dit dans sa lettre va falloir que tu passes un de ces soirs
Et le reste
Le cœur en a perdu la raison
À vouloir rentrer à la maison
Le cœur se retrouve à sa façon
Marie T l’avenir m’a promis de le lire
Au creux de ma tasse de thé
Après que j’en eus bu au moins deux sinon plus
Et que je lui eut pris la main pour y boire
L’eau salée d’au fond de la vallée
À vouloir rattraper l’horizon
Le cœur en a perdu la raison
À vouloir rentrer à la maison
Le cœur se retrouve à sa façon
Marie T les pieds nus rejoignit
Le milieu de lit clair d’un petit ru
Et s’enfouit das ma vue pour n’en plus
Ressortir m’avait dit s’il te reste souvenir
Viens me le dire
En ce lieu qui nous reste
À vouloir rattraper l’horizon
Le cœur en a perdu la raison
À vouloir rentrer à la maison
Le cœur se retrouve à sa façon
Marie T en robe verte a surgi
Sur le pas de sa porte grande ouverte
Son sourire fit pâlir les rayons de midi
M’avait dit dans sa lettre va falloir que tu passes un de ces soirs et le reste
À vouloir rattraper l’horizon
Le cœur en a perdu la raison
À vouloir rentrer à la maison
Le cœur se retrouve à sa façon
The lyrics of G&F's song "Marie" depict a deep and introspective narrative about a character named Marie. In the first stanza, Marie is described as appearing in a green dress with a radiant smile, symbolically outshining the noonday sun as she stands at her open door. The singer is urged to visit her in the evening based on a letter she had sent, hinting at a connection that goes beyond mere physical presence.
As the lyrics progress, the theme of trying to chase after an unattainable horizon comes to the fore. The heart is said to have lost its reason in this pursuit, emphasizing the idea that striving for an ideal or constantly seeking something beyond reach can lead to inner turmoil and confusion. The desire to return home is also highlighted, suggesting a longing for familiarity and grounding in the midst of life's uncertainties.
Marie is portrayed as someone who offers a glimpse into the future, promising to reveal it over a cup of tea. The act of sharing a drink and holding hands symbolizes intimacy and trust, with the mention of salty water from a hidden valley adding a sense of mystical depth to the interaction. There is a sense of shared anticipation and mutual understanding between the singer and Marie in this intimate moment.
In the final stanza, Marie disappears into the distance, inviting the singer to remember and return to the shared space they once occupied. The repetition of the refrain about chasing the horizon and returning home underscores the cyclical nature of human desires and experiences, with the heart finding its own way in the journey. Overall, "Marie" conveys a sense of yearning, connection, and introspection, inviting listeners to reflect on the complexities of relationships, aspirations, and the passage of time.
