Nuit sauvage
Les Avions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je danse
Et sur la piste
D'une boîte à musique,
Elle se balance
Sous des milliers de soleils
Fumée menthol,
Accrochée au bar
Elle me regarde
Et je bascule dans le ciel
Perdu dans ses yeux verts et oranges
héhé.

La nuit est chaude,
Elle est sauva-age,
La nuit est belle
Pour ses otages.

Elle est partie
à travers la ville
Etoile filante
Dans un taxi noir et vert
Je l'ai perdue
à cause d'un tramway
Et sur la plage,
Je bois des milliers de verres
Perdu dans dans ses yeux verts et oranges Héhéé !

La nuit est chaude,
Elle est sauva-age,
La nuit est belle
Pour ses otages.

La nuit est chaude,
Elle est sauva-age,
La nuit est belle
Pour ses otages.


Hé héhéhé hé hé hé hé !
Et elle me hante et me poursuit
Et je la traque sans arrêt le jour comme la nuit
Je la retrouverai
Hé Hé !

La nuit est chaude,
Elle est sauva-age,




La nuit est belle
Pour ses otages…

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Les Avions's song, Nuit sauvage, describe the singer's experience of being in a nightclub and encountering a woman who catches his attention. The woman is described as swaying under the lights of the dance floor, while the singer watches her from the bar, "lost in her green and orange eyes." The night is described as wild and intense, as if full of danger, and the singer seems to be captivated by this woman, who he later loses track of in the chaos of the city. Nonetheless, he is obsessed with finding her again and cannot stop thinking about her.


The lyrics convey a sense of reckless abandon and longing, as the singer is carried away by the energy of the nightclub and the intensity of his desire for this woman. The repetition of the phrase "La nuit est chaude, elle est sauva-age, la nuit est belle pour ses otages" ("The night is hot, it's savage, the night is beautiful for its hostages") underscores the feeling of danger and excitement that permeates the song, while also suggesting that the night is a kind of seductive force that has ensnared both the singer and the woman he is seeking.


Overall, Nuit sauvage is a song about desire and longing, set against the backdrop of a wild and dangerous night. The lyrics capture the energy and intensity of the nightclub scene, while also conveying the complexity of human desire and the ways in which it can lead us into unknown and unpredictable territory.
