The song from Moulin Rouge
Les Compagnons de la Chanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I worry and wonder.
Your lips may be near,
but where is your heart?
It's always like this,
I worry and wonder.
You're close to me here,
It's a sad thing to realize
that you've a heart that never melts.
When we kiss, do you close your eyes,
pretending that I'm someone else?
You must break the spell,
this cloud that I'm under.
So please won't you tell, darling,
where is your heart?
The song Moulin rouge by Les Compagnons de la Chanson explores the fear and uncertainty that arises when physical intimacy does not seem to align with emotional intimacy. The singer expresses concern that, although they are kissing, their loved one's heart is not fully present. There is a sense of insecurity and a desire for reassurance throughout the song.
The repetition of "I worry and wonder" emphasizes the singer's anxious state of mind. They are aware of the disconnect between physical closeness and emotional distance, and this awareness creates a sense of sadness and disappointment. The line "It's a sad thing to realize that you've a heart that never melts" implies that the singer feels that their partner is inaccessible and unresponsive.
The final stanza of the song is a plea for clarity and honesty. The singer begs their partner to break the spell of confusion and to communicate where their heart truly lies. The song concludes on a hopeful note, as the singer expresses a desire for resolution and a willingness to work through any issues that may be present in the relationship.
Overall, Moulin rouge is a poignant and relatable exploration of the fear and uncertainty that can arise in intimate relationships.
