Cha Cha Cha
Gaëtan Roussel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Un an, dîner, nuit blanche et petit déjeuner
Deux ans, dîner, nuit blanche mais là je dois filer
Trois ans, dîner, dormir, laisse, ça va revenir
Quatre ans, la anne et dire que l'on a pas ouvert les vannes

Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha

Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha

Cinq ans, tout semble ici perdu, mes adieux, mon amour
Six ans, tout semble éteint, au hasard je vais fouiller
Huit ans, les manoeuvres, sortons les grandes échelles
Huit ans, nous voilà à pied d'oeuvre, monter les décibels
Neuf, dîner, nuit blanche et petit déjeuner
Dix ans, dîner, nuit blanche mais là je dois filer

Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Ça va revenir
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha

Neuf, dîner nuit blanche et petit déjeuner
Dix ans, dîner, nuit blanche mais là je dois filer
Onze ans, tout reste encore possible, nous voilà invincibles
Douze ans, je file, précipite vite, vite, vite, vite
Treize ans, les seuls êtres sensés au beau milieu des fous
Quatorze ans, dîner, dormir, laisse, ça va revenir

Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Ça va revenir
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gaetan Roussel's song Cha cha chá describe the passage of time and how it affects our perceptions and experiences. The song is structured around the repeated refrain of "cha cha cha," a reference to the dance rhythm of the same name. The first verse begins with "one year, dinner, all-nighter and breakfast," and each subsequent verse adds a year and modifies the activity, from staying up all night to sleeping to leaving early. This progression suggests a cyclical pattern of behavior or a routine that changes only slightly with each passing year.


The phrase "leave the faucet closed" appears in the fourth verse, which suggests that the singer has been holding back, perhaps in a creative or emotional sense. As the song progresses, the mood becomes more urgent, and the singer searches for something that has been lost or forgotten. The final verses suggest a return to a more stable state, as the singer finds a sense of invincibility and sensibility in the midst of madness.


Overall, Roussel's lyrics speak to the transitory nature of time and the importance of seizing each moment before it passes. The cha cha cha rhythm adds a sense of playfulness and lightness that contrasts with the seriousness of the lyrics.
