Oh tous les soirs
Jil Caplan Lyrics

The lyrics to Jil Caplan's song "Oh tous les soirs" talk about a situation where the singer and their partner have a seemingly inconsistent and uncertain dynamic. The song begins with the refrain "Oh! Oh! Tous les soirs, tu me dis, tu me dis 'On va voir'," which translates to "Oh! Oh! Every night, you tell me, you tell me 'We'll see'". This phrase repeats several times throughout the song, almost like a plea or a mantra. The singer is expressing a desire for clarity and certainty in their relationship, but their partner is unable to give it to them.

The second half of each verse is the line "Quand j'te touche, tu me dis, tu me dis 'Pas ce soir'," which means "When I touch you, you tell me, you tell me 'Not tonight'". This suggests that despite the ambiguous language used by their partner, they may not really want to be intimate or close with the singer. Despite this, the singer declares their love and steadfast commitment: "Pourtant, je t'aime et quand bien même tu n'voudrais plus de moi / Moi, tous les soirs, je reviens, je reviendrai vers toi." ("Yet, I love you and even if you didn't want me anymore / Every night, I come back, I will come back to you.").

The repetitiveness of the lyrics and the contrast between the uncertain language of the partner and the singer's clear devotion give the song a poignant sense of longing, frustration, and hope.
