La décadanse
Jane Birkin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tourne-toi
Non
Contre moi
Non, pas comme ça
Et danse
La décadanse
Bouge tes reins
Lentement
Devant les miens
Reste là
Derrière moi
Balance
La décadanse
Que tes mains
Frôlent mes seins
Et mon coeur
Qui est le tien
Mon amour
De toujours
Patience
La décadanse
Sous mes doigts
T'emmènera
Vers de lointains
Au-delà
Des eaux troubles
Soudain troublent

Mes sens
La décadanse
M'a perdue
Ah tu me tues
Mon amour
Dis m'aimes-tu?
Je t'aimais
Déjà mais
Nuance
La décadanse
Plus encore
Que notre mort
Lie nos âmes
Et nos corps
Dieux Pardonnez nos
Offenses
La décadanse
A bercé
Nos corps blasés
Et nos âmes égarées
Dieux!
Pardonnez nos offenses
La décadanse
A bercé




Nos corps blasés
Et nos âmes égarées

Overall Meaning

The song "La Decadanse" by Jane Birkin is a sensual and intimate dialogue between two lovers who dance together, surrounded by a decadent atmosphere. The lyrics speak of the physical attraction between the two bodies and the emotional connection that they share. The singer invites her partner to turn towards her and dance slowly, as they move their hips in sync with each other. She wants him to stay close, behind her, and run his hands over her body. The lyrics suggest that their love and passion is intense, and that they are bound together both in life and death.


As the song progresses, the atmosphere becomes more intense and charged with emotions. The singer becomes lost in the moment, and her partner's touch sends her senses reeling. She asks him if he loves her, and although he doesn't answer directly, the lyrics suggest that their connection is deeper than mere words. They become one in the dance, and the song ends with a solemn plea for forgiveness from God for their transgressions.


Overall, "La Decadanse" is a poetic and romantic description of the power of dance to bring two people together both physically and emotionally. The lyrics are rich in imagery and metaphor, and convey a sense of longing and passion that is both intense and emotional.

Esta música é fenomenal. O despojamento a sensualidade liberal.A classe a fragilidade da voz dela.É tudo sentidos. O jogo da dança . Não há palavras.
