Paradiso
Les chercheurs d'or Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La nuit commence
La musique gronde
Et tu vibres en cadence
En cadence
Ton corps qui chante
La douce transe
Sur mon cou, quand je tangue
Quand je tangue
Des lettres d′or
Ton nom plus fort
La sueur coule
De tes mains sur mes hanches
Sur mes hanches
(Pa la pa la la la la la la...)
Et je brûle et tu cries
Jusqu'au bout de la nuit (ah ah ah ah ah)
Dans les décors
Les miradors
Aux yeux de foudre
Dévisagent en silence
En silence
Entre les ondes
La tension monte
Les lampes violentes
Et le feu quand tu danses
Quand tu danses
(Ah ah ah...)
(Pa la pa la la la la la la...)
Et je brûle et tu cries (oh oh oh)
Jusqu′au bout de la nuit (ah ah ah ah ah)
Des tours immenses
Assourdissantes
Crachent à la foule
Décibels et du vent
Que du vent
J'en veux encore
Trompe-la-mort
À bout de souffle
Jusqu'à demain dimanche
Demain dimanche
(Pa la pa la la la la la la...)
Et je brûle et tu cries (oh oh oh)
Jusqu′au bout de la nuit (ah ah ah ah ah)
Et je brûle et tu cries (oh oh oh)
Jusqu′au bout de la nuit (ah ah ah ah ah)
The lyrics of Les chercheurs d'or's song Paradiso describe a scene of passion and sensuality, set against a backdrop of loud music and flashing lights. The singer is consumed by their desire for their partner, who they dance with in a trance-like state.

Overall, the lyrics of Paradiso paint a picture of a moment in time, capturing the intensity of physical desire and the sense of losing oneself in the moment. The use of metaphor and repetition create a sense of urgency and inevitability, while the use of sensory language helps to create a vivid and immersive picture of the scene.
