Les petits papiers
HK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Les p'tits papiers
A l'occasion
Papier chiffon
Puissent-ils un soir
Papier buvard
Vous consoler
Les p'tits papiers
Papier de riz
Ou d'Arménie
Qu'un soir ils puissent
Papier maïs
Vous réchauffer
Un peu d'amour
Papier velours
Et d'esthétique
Papier musique
C'est du chagrin
Papier dessin
Avant longtemps
Laissez glisser
Papier glacé
Les sentiments
Papier collant
Ça impressionne
Papier carbone
Mais c'est du vent
Machin Machine
Papier machine
Faut pas s'leurrer
Papier doré
Celui qu'y touche
Papier tue-mouches
Est moitié fou
C'est pas brillant
Papier d'argent
C'est pas donné
Papier-monnaie
Ou l'on en meurt
Papier à fleurs
Ou l'on s'en fout
Laissez parler
Les p'tits papiers
A l'occasion
Papier chiffon
Puissent-ils un soir
Papier buvard
Vous consoler
Laisser brûler
Les p'tits papiers
Papier de riz
Ou d'Arménie
Qu'un soir ils puissent
Papier maïs
Vous réchauffer
The lyrics of HK's song "Les petits papiers" convey a powerful message about the fleeting nature of material possessions and the importance of seeking comfort and warmth through human connections. The repetition of the phrase "Laissez parler les p'tits papiers" (Let the little papers speak) emphasizes the idea that these papers hold no real value or significance in comparison to the emotional sustenance that can be found in love and empathy.
The first verse suggests that these little papers, whether they are fragile like tissue paper or absorbent like blotting paper, can provide consolation in moments of sadness and despair. The image of "Les p'tits papiers" burning, such as rice paper or Armenian paper, symbolizes the fleeting nature of comfort and warmth that these material possessions can offer.
The second verse introduces the concept of love, described as "Papier velours" (Velvet paper) and "Papier musique" (Musical paper), highlighting the aesthetic and emotional aspect of love. However, the lyrics also suggest that even love can be temporary and can turn into sorrow, represented by "Papier dessin" (Drawing paper). The chorus repeats the idea of letting the "Les p'tits papiers" speak and burn, emphasizing their temporary and ultimately meaningless nature.
The third verse introduces more contrasting images, such as "Papier glacé" (Glossy paper) and "Papier collant" (Sticky paper), which may impress or influence but are ultimately superficial. The lyrics criticize the allure of glamour and material wealth, referencing "Papier doré" (Golden paper) and "Papier tue-mouches" (Flypaper). These papers are associated with madness and foolishness.
The fourth verse highlights the dissociation between material possessions and true value. "Papier d'argent" (Silver paper) and "Papier-monnaie" (Paper money) are portrayed as items that are not truly valuable, while "Papier à fleurs" (Flower paper) is dismissed as insignificant and unimportant. The repetition of the chorus in the final lines emphasizes the song's message of seeking comfort and solace beyond material possessions and appreciating the ephemeral nature of these objects.
Overall, "Les petits papiers" is a powerful song that prompts listeners to reflect on the transience of material possessions and the importance of finding solace and warmth through genuine human connections and emotions.
