Mais La Nuit
In-Grid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il ne mange pas, il se nourri
Très séduisant et très puissant
Son ami le miroir.
Il se lève à l'aube, il court toujours
Au bord de la mer, pendant des heures
Quelque soit le temps, en toute saison
Jusqu'à l'heure du coucher.
Oui toujours toujours
Mon géant d'Amour
Puis-je compter sur lui
Certainement la nuit !
Oui toujours toujours
Mon beau gars d'Amour
Oui, je compte sur lui
Mais la nuit…il dort !!
Sous les U.V., bains intégrales
Chemise ouverte relève son hâle
Causer avec lui est un plaisir
De muscles et de douceur
Un vrai spectacle dans ses yeux
Qui cachent mystère, air malicieux
Mais précedence à la balance
Jusqu'à l'heure du coucher.
Oui toujours toujours
Mon géant d'Amour
Puis-je compter sur lui
Certainement la nuit
Oui toujours toujours
Mon beau gars d'Amour
Oui, je compte sur lui
Mais la nuit…
Oui toujours toujours
Mon géant d'Amour
Puis-je compter sur lui
Certainement la nuit
Oui toujours toujours
Mon beau gars d'Amour
Oui, je compte sur lui
Mais la nuit…il dort.
La nuit oui je compte sur lui mais la nuit il dort, il dort, il dort
Mais la nuit, mais la nuit, mais la nuit
Mais la nuit, mais la nuit, mais la nuit, il dort !!!
The song "Mais La Nuit" by In-Grid is about a man who is both self-absorbed and attractive. The opening verse describes him as "a little narcissistic" and "a little Adonis," suggesting that he is vain but also physically attractive. He doesn't eat, he "nourishes himself," and he is very powerful and alluring. The man is also friends with his mirror, suggesting that he cares a great deal about his appearance.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Yes always, always, my giant of love, can I count on him, certainly at night." It is clear that the singer is infatuated with this man and relies on him, but then the lyrics suggest that he sleeps through the night, putting the singer in a bit of a frustrating position.
The second verse is about the man's physical appearance and his habits. He spends hours running along the beach, regardless of the weather, and enjoys lounging in the sun to keep his tan. He is described as a "real spectacle," with eyes that hint at a hidden mystery and a mischievous air. It is clear from the lyrics that the man is both physically impressive and charismatic, but also somewhat self-absorbed, and the singer is both enamored and frustrated with him.

Oh la la. Esa canción me recuerda a 2 etapas de mi vida. La primera cuando ese disco recién salió, era un chiquillo de 9 años y me prendía cada que mi hermano las ponia para hacer sus quihaceres. La segunda, cuando tenía 17 años, estudiaba en el Bachillerato y esa rola me acompañaba en mis momentos de soledad en la biblioteca o en las jardineras. Sin duda, esa rola es perfecta 👌😍😍😍

Qué nostalgia cuando mi mamá escuchaba este disco y se ponía a bailar y yo le seguía cuando tenía apenas 6 años UwU. Sigo apreciando este tipo de música y me habría encantando nacer en esa época 😢❤️
