Il Revient
Les Chaussettes Noires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il me tient, il me fait souffrir
Il revient toujours pour me parler de toi
Il se plaint. On s'est quittés. Pourquoi ?
Il me dit : Wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow
Il revient, il dit que j'ai eu tort
Il me tient, un peu comme un remords
Il se plaint, le voilà qui supplie
Il me dit : Wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow
Il revient, c'est à vous rendre fou
Il me tient, il me poursuit partout
Cet air obsédant qui vient parler d'amour
Il se plaint, je l'entends nuit et jour
Il me dit : Wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow
Il revient, l'air de mes souvenirs
Il se plaint, m'empêchant de dormir
Cet air obsédant, si tu l'entends un jour
Oh, reviens car j'attends ton retour
Wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow
Wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow
The lyrics to Les Chaussettes Noires's song "Il Revient" depict the singer's struggle with a past love that seems to haunt him through a recurring melody that is described as an "air" in the lyrics. The singer describes this melody as a painful reminder of this past relationship, which he both longs for and resents. Throughout the song, the melody is personified and given agency, even described as "suppl[ying]" the singer's former lover's voice. The lyrics suggest that this "air" has a powerful hold on the singer, preventing him from moving on from this lost love.
The repetition of the phrase "wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow, wow, ouh, ouh, ouh, wow" throughout the song adds to the haunting quality of the melody. It is unclear what this particular phrase means, but its repetition emphasizes the power that the melody has over the singer. The overall effect is a poignant portrayal of the lingering pain and nostalgia that can accompany lost love.
