Josephine
Jean-Louis Aubert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vêtue d'un manteau bleu
Ciel sur l'esplanade
Elle paraissait malade
Le ciel au fond des yeux
Naturaliste existentielle
Partage entre les collines
Incertaine
Respire Joséphine
Sa peau a la couleur du miel





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Joséphine" by Jean-Louis Aubert paint a vivid image of a woman named Joséphine, who is seen standing on an esplanade wearing a blue coat. She appears to be unwell, with a look of the sky in her eyes. The lyrics describe her as an "existential naturalist" who is uncertain and divided between the hills. Despite this, the song advises her to breathe and take it all in.


One interpretation of the song is that it speaks to the overwhelming nature of modern life and the feelings of uncertainty and confusion that can accompany it. The naturalist imagery could be seen as a call to reconnect with nature and the simpler things in life. Joséphine could also represent a larger metaphor for society as a whole, with the lyrics urging us all to take a step back and breathe.


Overall, "Joséphine" is a thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to pause and reflect on the world around them.
