Belle
Les bouches bées Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu étais la reine du bled
Belle, tu étais belle aux yeux de n'importe quel dur
Amoureux fou à la marelle
Belle, tu te rappelles? Dans les yeux de ce rebelle
Tu as déposé ta dentelle
Belle, tu étais belle, et tu restes éternelle
Belle, il y a toujours une belle
Quelque part au fond de ses prunelles
Belle, je te jure
Belle, c'est sûr, j'aurai ta peau
Belle, je te jure, tu es de trop
Belle, tu te rappelles ce cavalier sensuel?
Tu lui as fait sauter les bretelles
Belle, tu étais belle quand tu lui roulais des pelles
Tu lui as montré le septième ciel
Belle, tu te rappelles?
Tu lui as coupé les ailes
Dur, son cœur est devenu de sel
Belle toujours trop belle
Premier amour éternel
Tu es tapie dans sa cervelle
Belle, il y a toujours une belle
Quelque part au fond de ses prunelles
Belle, je te jure
Belle, c'est sûr, j'aurai ta peau
Belle, je te jure, tu es de trop
Entre lui et moi, tu dresses ta légende
Je traquerai ta trace jusqu'à ce que tu te rendes
Belle trop belle au fond de ses prunelles
Belle, je te jure
Belle, c'est sûr, j'aurai ta peau
Belle, je te jure, tu es de trop
The song "Belle" by Les bouches bées is a nostalgic tribute to a woman who used to be the queen of the neighborhood. The lyrics start by asking the woman if she remembers the good old days when she was the most beautiful girl in the street. The singer describes her as the belle of the block, irresistible to any tough guy who played hopscotch with her. The woman left her mark on the rebel's heart by giving him her lace, which he cherished as a token of her beauty.
The song continues to recall how the woman's charms made another man's heart overflow with passion when she gave him a taste of her kisses. However, the song's chorus tells us that Belle's beauty is causing trouble for the songwriter. He swears he will get her, claims she is "too much," and he will hunt her down until she submits to him.
The song's last verse describes Belle as a legend that divides the songwriter and the man who loves her. He declares that he will not stop chasing her until she becomes his. Overall, "Belle" is a wistful song about a woman who once ruled the neighborhood with her beauty, leaving a lasting impression on the men she met.
