2000 Nuits
Louis Bertignac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pour une nouvelle nuit, une nouvelle amie
Un amour pour la vie et qui, le jour, s'enfuit
Deux mille nuits passées à t'imaginer
T'imaginer
J'ai déjà trop marché, je n' veux pas m'éveiller
Tous ces rêves mouillés, je voudrais m'y baigner
Deux mille nuits passées à t'imaginer
T'imaginer
Maintenant, je suis là et je guette tes pas
Maintenant, je suis là mais tu n'existes pas
J'écoute le jour qui se lève et j'ai goûté à tes lèvres
Pendant toutes ces nuits, oh, tant et tant de nuits !
Deux mille nuits passées à t'imaginer
T'imaginer, te désirer
Te désirer, t'imaginer
T'imaginer
Louis Bertignac's song "2000 Nuits" depicts the emotions of a lonely person who has spent the last two thousand nights and mornings trying to find love, imagining and desiring a partner who disappears with the daylight. The singer longs for someone to stay with them throughout their life but they seem to escape in the daylight. The phrase "t'imaginar" is repeated throughout the song, which translates to "imagining you". The singer vividly imagines love and companionship, seeking refuge from their lonely reality in their dreams. They are desperate to remain in that state and not wake up to the harsh reality of their empty life.
The repetitiveness of the lyrics adds to the feeling of numbness and desperation the singer experiences, highlighted through the constant imagery of "désirer" and "t'imaginar" that represent their longing for someone to love them. While the song is sorrowful, it captures a universal feeling of loneliness and provides hope that love will eventually come. The song's rhythm is melancholic yet catchy, with the guitar and Bertignac's voice feeding into the listener's emotions.
