Les Deux Guitares
Les Yeux Noirs Lyrics

The lyrics of Les Yeux Noirs' song "Les Deux Guitares" tell a story of two guitars, both crying out mournfully from childhood memories of a beloved friend who has since passed away. The lyrics repeat the question, "My dear friend, do you remember?" as if trying to bring the friendship back to life through the music. The stars are described as burning brightly yet painfully in the night sky, pulsing with the heart's desire to revive the memories of a lost loved one. The singer longs to write a song dedicated to their friend that remains unfinished, tortured by the yearning of the heart from the dawn until the dusk. They describe the journey spanning fields of poppies and violets and the treasures found along the way. The chorus repeats the plea to remember the friendship, to relive childhood difficulties and hopes over and over again, fervently wishing to share one more moment with their departed friend.

The lyrics are a metaphorical representation of the relentless yearning that a person may feel for someone who is no longer with them. The image of the guitar as a symbol of the friendship evokes the power of music to bring people together, as well as the ability of music to transcend time and space. The song tells a story of friendship, loss, and longing that still resonates with many people today.
