Jacno is also the name of a graphic artist who designed the gallic helmet logo of Gauloises brand cigarettes, which the musician smokes infamously. He was a founding member of the first French punk band The Stinky Toys. In the early 1980's, after the group disbanded, he teamed up with former Stinky Toys singer Elli Medeiros to form the pop duo Elli et Jacno. Jacno has also released a number of solo albums since 1979.

Mars Rendez-Vous
Jacno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wir lebten I'm innern des roten Planeten, wir waren grün, doch voller liebe
Nur die, die mit uns Liebe machen, sehen es in der iris unserer Augen
Wir gehen aus, uns zu amusieren, einen Schnapps, ein Glas bordeaux
Alle waren weiss, wir wechselten die Farbe
Nur die, die mit uns Liebe machen, sehen es in der iris, unserer Augen
Mars rendez-vous, Mars rendez-vous
Von der reise enttaüscht hätten wir fliehen müssen aber wir waren blau
Nur die, die mit uns Liebe machen, sehen es in der iris, unserer Augen
Mars rendez-vous, Mars rendez-vous
Fellatio, Cunnilingus, Sinnligkeit, Ruhe, Wollust das sind unsere Dogmen
Nur die, die mit uns Liebe machen, sehen es in der iris unserer Augen
Mars rendez-vous, Mars rendez-vous.
The lyrics of Jacno's song "Mars Rendez-Vous" bring us to a surreal and metaphorical world. The singer seems to be describing an intimate encounter on the red planet, where they were living inside it and being green with love, but not recognized or caught by anyone. The pleasing, but slightly unusual rhyming scheme of the French lyrics adds to the dream-like nature of the song.
The singer speaks of going out to have fun, but still remaining unnoticed due to their ability to blend in with the surroundings. The reference to changing of color creates a sense of peculiarity and alienation. The only ones who can detect the couple's true nature are those who are in love with them, as it is reflected in their eyes. The refrain "Mars rendez-vous" adds a sense of mystery and intrigue.
The bizarre lyrics are further emphasized by the mention of dogmas such as fellatio, cunnilingus, sensuality, peace, and lust as being their principles. These dogmas are symbolic of the unconventional practices that are often shunned by society.
