La Femme sans Haine
Ismaël Lô Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But some are more eager than others.
Some shatter a man's dream
By breaking away from their lover.
Cette chanson pour cette reine
Qui dit à son roi, "Maintenant
I am gone, gone with the wind."
The love that you would not defend with your life
You cannot befriend always tears in your eyes.
I am gone, gone with the wind,
I am gone in search of a new king.
Toutes les femmes sont des reines,
Sur terre, sur mer, neige ou désert.
Derrière le voile des formes pleines
Il y a le mystère des sirènes.
Burn the towns,
Burn the backstreet bars,
Burn your boardwalk basement trade.
Feel the flame,
Feel the curve of the sword,
Your living flesh reeks of compromise, babe.
And in the face of barbarian hordes
An honest defeat is your only reward.

Features Without Blame
The love that you would not defend with your life
You cannot befriend always tears in your eyes.
Ma ni dem, gone with the wind,
Ma ni dem in search of a new king.
"All women are queens,
Tell this to the woman who loves you.
You may not live up to her dreams,
Which even a king cannot always do."
Voilà ce qu'a dit une reine
A un roi bon vaincu sans haine.
Elle est partie comme s'en va la mer
Quand la lune vous a.
The love that you would not defend with your life
You cannot befriend always tears in your eyes.
I am gone, gone with the wind,
I am gone in search of a new king.
I am gone.
I am gone.
The lyrics of Ismaël Lô/Marianne Faithfull's song Without Blame delve into the complex nature of relationships between men and women. The opening lines "Toutes les femmes sont des reines/But some are more eager than others" allude to the fact that all women are special in their own way, but some are more willing to break away from their significant other, shattering a man's dream of a perfect relationship. The song is about a queen who has decided to leave her king and search for a new one, a decision that is fueled by the man's inability to defend their love with his life. This leads to her tears, and ultimately, her departure. The lyrics evoke the idea that love requires sacrifice and commitment, and without it, it cannot thrive.
The song has several other lines that allude to the idea that relationships are a two-way street, and one party cannot bear the burden of maintaining it. "Burn the towns/Burn the backstreet bars/Burn your boardwalk basement trade/Feel the flame/Feel the curve of the sword/Your living flesh reeks of compromise, babe" allude to the idea that relationships require both parties to give their all, and any compromise or unwillingness to sacrifice will lead to a lack of commitment, leading to a breakup.

Toutes les femmes sont des reines
All women are queens
But some are more eager than others.
However, some women may be more ambitious than others.
Some shatter a man's dream
Some women may break a man's heart.

By leaving their significant other.
Cette chanson pour cette reine
This song is dedicated to a queen.
Qui dit à son roi, "Maintenant
Who says to her king, "Now
I am gone, gone with the wind."
I am leaving, disappearing without a trace.
The love that you would not defend with your life
If you do not defend your love with everything you have,
You cannot befriend always tears in your eyes.
You will always cry.
I am gone in search of a new king.
I am searching for a better partner.
Sur terre, sur mer, neige ou désert.
On land, sea, snow or desert.
Derrière le voile des formes pleines
Behind the veil of their full curves
Il y a le mystère des sirènes.
There lies the mystery of the sirens.
Burn the towns,
Destroy the houses,
Burn the backstreet bars,
Raze the bars in the rundown alleys,
Burn your boardwalk basement trade.
Burn everything you own for profit.
Feel the flame,
Feel the heat,
Feel the curve of the sword,
Feel the sharp edge of the sword,
Your living flesh reeks of compromise, babe.
Your flesh smells of selling out, babe.
And in the face of barbarian hordes
In the midst of chaos
An honest defeat is your only reward.
The only thing you can gain is an honest loss.
Ma ni dem, gone with the wind,
I am gone, gone with the wind,
Ma ni dem in search of a new king.
I am searching for a better partner.
"All women are queens,
"All women are queens,
Tell this to the woman who loves you.
Tell this to the woman who loves you.
You may not live up to her dreams,
You may not fulfill her expectations,
Which even a king cannot always do."
Which not even a king can fulfill."
Voilà ce qu'a dit une reine
This is what a queen said
A un roi bon vaincu sans haine.
To a noble king who lost without malice.
Elle est partie comme s'en va la mer
She left like the ocean recedes,
Quand la lune vous a.
When the moon disappears.
I am gone.
I am gone.

Todas las mujeres son reinas.
Algunas, más reinas que las mismas reinas.
Ellas dicen cosas que sorprenden
Y detienen a los hombres que las encadenan.
Esta canción es para aquella mujer
Que le dice a su rey: "ahora,
Me voy con el viento
Con los bárbaros de Occidente
Lo que no has podido defender con las armas
No creas poder guardarlo con las lágrimas
Yo me voy donde tu gente va
Me voy a buscarme otro Rey"
Todas las mujeres son reinas.
Sobre tierra, mar, nieve o desierto.
Tras el velo de las formas plenas
Se encuentra el misterio de las sirenas.
Se queman las ciudades, se queman las casas
Las llamas lamen, el hierro toca.
La carne viva habla por la boca
La carne muerta habla por la mosca.
"Lo que no has podido defender con las armas
No creas poder guardarlo con las lágrimas
Yo me voy donde tu gente va
Me voy a buscarme otro Rey".
Todas las mujeres son reinas
Dile a aquella que te ama
"No me quiero volver Rey
No cambia nada lo que ya es"
He aquí lo que una Reina le dijo
A un Rey bueno, derrotado, sin odio
Ella se marcha como el mar
Cuando la Luna lo quiera...
"Lo que no has podido defender con las armas
No creas poder guardarlo con las lágrimas
Yo me voy donde tu gente va
Me voy a buscarme otro Rey
Yo me voy
Yo me voy".

Derrière le voile des formes pleines, se cache le mystère des sirénes. Un message instructif pour les hommes (sexe masculin). On ne maltraite pas une Reine-Sirène. Hommages et louanges à Ismael Lô!
