Romance et série noire
L (Raphaële Lannadère) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
aux allures de Madone,
Contre-bande Channel
perles, poudre, coco,
Gangsters, demoiselles,
Narcochic, et pipo,
spleen d'un soir de bal
qui traine et se fredonne
Romance et série noire
c'est la nuit qui sourit,
Romance et série noire
Romance et série noire
Parure pacotille
pour petite Lolita,
Molesquine rétro
des histoires d'amour,
Baisers rouges-whisky,
Ecstasy, et Tangos,
Violons et caetera'
jusqu'au lever du jour...
Romance et série noire
c'est la nuit qui sourit,
Romance et série noire
Romance et série noire
Bars clandés, ou tripots
Pour un coup de poker,
Lunettes, fétiches, fourrures,
Vrai Caïd, fausse idole,
Quartiers Nords, Baby Doll
Pour un passe pas chère,
Love et rêve au Peepshow,
Nightclubs où rien ne dure...
Romance et série noire
c'est la nuit qui sourit,
Romance et série noire
Romance et série noire
The song "Romance et série noire" by L (Raphaële Lannadère) paints a vivid picture of a seedy and seductive underworld in Paris. The lyrics describe the characters and elements that make up this world, such as pin-up girls with Madone-like appearances, counterfeit Chanel merchandise, gangsters and their damsels, narco-chic and pipo (slang for drugs). The night is personified as smiling, as if thrilled by the dark romance and mystery that surround it.
The next verse brings in Lolita-like young women adorned in cheap jewelry, retro moleskin, and tales of love. The imagery is filled with red lipstick kisses, whiskey, ecstasy, and tangos played by violins. This is a world where lovers and dreamers dance until dawn, caught in the relentless grip of romanticism and danger.
The final verse takes us deeper into the underbelly of the city, where clandestine bars and gambling dens are adorned with sunglasses, fetishes, and fake fur. We're introduced to true bosses and false idols, baby dolls, and "love in a peep show." Nightclubs are depicted as places where nothing lasts, a reminder that the beauty and magic of the night are fleeting and temporary.
This song is a striking portrayal of a specific time and place - a Parisian underworld that was both alluring and dangerous. The lyrics evoke a mood of decadence and seduction, where characters are both complicit in and at the mercy of their surroundings.
