Hoshi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Celui qui fait ce que t'es maintenant
Raconte-moi, je veux tout savoir
Connaître tes bals de samedi soir
T'es d'une famille de six enfants
En plus t'as joué le rôle de la maman
Quand tu rentrais, c'était la foire
Alors ce soir ma poupée russe
Ce refrain est pour toi
Dans ton histoire, il y a des plus
Pas que des moins, babushka
Edith a trouvé son Marcel
Et jamais elle ne le lâchera
Un mythe, Edith, qu'est-ce qu'elle est belle, ya lyublyu tebya
Ya lyublyu vas babushka y ded tanets sborka
Ya lyublyu vas babushka y ded tanets sborka
Mama avait un sale caractère
Seule, elle aurait pu détruire cette terre
Papa se réfugiait dans les jeux
Mais au moins il avait l'air heureux
Toi, t'aurais remué ciel et terre
Pour le bonheur de ton frère
Mais dès que tu travaillais un peu
Le salaire était pour eux
Alors ce soir ma poupée russe
Ce refrain est pour toi
Dans ton histoire, il y a des plus
Pas que des moins, babushka
Edith a trouvé son Marcel
Et jamais elle ne le lâchera
Un mythe, Edith, qu'est-ce qu'elle est belle, ya lyublyu tebya
Ya lyublyu vas babushka y ded tanets sborka
Ya lyublyu vas babushka y ded tanets sborka
Ya lyublyu vas babushka y ded tanets sborka
Ya lyublyu vas babushka, sans toi j'serais pas là
The song "Poupée Russe" by Hoshi is a tribute to the singer's grandmother and her difficult but inspiring life. The lyrics start by asking the grandmother to talk about her past, to share her experiences and tell the story of how she became the person she is today. The singer is curious and wants to know everything about her grandmother, even the details of her Saturday night dances. She is also reminded of the challenges her grandmother faced, being one of six children and having to take on a maternal role at a young age.
The song highlights the strength and resilience of the grandmother, who had to endure a difficult family life with a mother who had a bad temper and a father who would often escape into games. Despite this, the grandmother still worked hard to make her family happy, sacrificing her own salary for the benefit of her siblings. However, the song also acknowledges the "pluses" in her life, including finding love with her husband Marcel and the beauty of her youth.
The repetition of the chorus "Ya lyublyu vas babushka y ded tanets sborka" translates to "I love you grandma and grandpa, let's dance together" and serves as a heartfelt tribute to the singer's grandparents. The song is a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of women, and the importance of valuing and celebrating the stories of the women who came before us.
