Ernestine
Les Fatals Picards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ce que (tu mets sur toi)
Ça ne change pas un homme
D'être aussi sexy que toi
Ne me prends pas pour une conne
Et s'il te plaît regarde-moi
Si ton désir t'abandonne
Prends le mien je n'm'en sers pas.
C'est pas moi qui t'abandonne
Et c'est bien fait pour moi
Tu m'laisses ici sans personne
Ce soir tu restes avec moi
Ne me prends pas pour une conne
Et s'il te plaît regarde-moi
Si ton désir t'abandonne
Prends le mien je n'm'en sers pas
Prends le mien je n'm'en sers pas.
The lyrics of Les Fatals Picards's song Ernestine suggest a conversation between two people. The first person sings about how the way the second person dresses does not please anyone, but being sexy does not change who they are as a person. The first person then continues to ask the second person not to take them for a fool, and to look at them if their desire goes away. The first person offers their desire to the second person, as they do not need it. The second person responds by saying that they're not the one abandoning the first person, and it's their own fault that they are left alone. The second person then tells the first person to stay with them for the night.
The song appears to revolve around unrequited love, with the first person expressing their feelings for the second person, who does not seem to reciprocate. The first person offers their desire to the second person, indicating that they are willing to give their all, but the second person doesn't seem to be interested. The upbeat melody of the song contrasts with the sad lyrics, adding a layer of irony to the overall feel of the song.
