Loin
L'Affaire Louis Trio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dans les dernières lueurs du soir
A l'heure où les amants s'égarent
Je t'ai perdue sans le vouloir
Je n'ai pas vu venir les larmes
Qui ont déchirés notre histoire
Car j'était déjà bien trop loin
J'étais si loin, si loin de toi
Que l'amour n'y pouvait plus rien

Et j'étais loin d'imaginer
Que tu t'en irais
Que tu t'en irais

Au fil des nuit où j'ai refait le monde
En m'éloignant du tien
J'ai oublié qu'on était bien

A l'heure où il fallait tout dire
L'heure où mentir ne sert à rien
Tout c'est éteint avant la fin
Et le silence nous a tout pris
Sans même un cri pour nous trahir
Mais j'était déjà bien trop loin
Pour revenir pour sentir que j'allais trop loin
J'étais si loin si loin de toi
Que l'amour n'y pouvait plus rien
Et j'étais loin d'imaginer
Que tu t'en irais
Que tu t'en irais

Au fil des nuits je peux rêver en vain
Qu'ensemble on est si bien
En oubliant que tu es loin

(Loin, L'Affaire Louis' Trio)

Overall Meaning

The song "Loin" by L'Affaire Louis' Trio tells the story of a relationship that has come to an end. The opening verse sets the scene during the last glimmers of evening light, a time of day when lovers might wander off and get lost in each other. However, the singer has lost their lover unintentionally and without warning. They were already too far removed from the relationship that even love could not salvage it. The singer admits that they were so far away from their lover that they couldn't imagine they would leave them.

As the song continues, the singer admits to spending many nights reimagining and reconstructing the world they had once shared. They had distanced themselves from their lover, forgetting how good things once were, and failing to speak up when it mattered. As a result, their relationship fizzled out before it had the chance to reach its full potential. The silence between them had consumed everything, leaving them without a means of expressing their feelings. But it was too late for the singer, who had already drifted too far away to come back and make amends.

Overall, the song "Loin" is a poignant tale of love gone wrong. It touches on the themes of distance, regret, and loss, and reminds us that we should cherish the relationships we have and never take them for granted.

Dans les dernières lueurs du soir
During the last moments of daylight

A l'heure où les amants s'égarent
At the time when lovers lose their way

Je t'ai perdue sans le vouloir
I lost you unintentionally

Je n'ai pas vu venir les larmes
I didn't see the tears coming

Qui ont déchiré notre histoire
That tore apart our story

Car j'étais déjà bien trop loin
Because I was already too far gone

J'étais si loin, si loin de toi
I was so far, so far from you

Que l'amour n'y pouvait plus rien
That love could no longer do anything about it

Et j'étais loin d'imaginer
And I was far from imagining

Que tu t'en irais
That you would leave

Au fil des nuits où j'ai refait le monde
As I reimagined the world throughout the nights
