La frontière
Ludéal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Même la poussière laissaient ses cheveux noirs
Le soleil était haut
Et ma tête ailleurs
J'avais rien mis d'aussi beau
Dans mes yeux ouverts
Ces amigos no no amicaux
Le soleil était haut
Et ma tête ailleurs
J'avais rien mis d'aussi chaud
A l'intérieur
J'ai marché au hasard
Sans voir l'horizon
Le plus petit espoir
De la revoir à l'ombre
A la frontière j'ai vu une femme
Puis elle est passée sans me voir
J'ai du l'adorer beaucoup trop
La femme à la frontière
Sur elle le soleil était beau
Et moi il m'incendiait
Le soleil était haut
Et ma tête ailleurs
J'ai du l'adorer beaucoup trop
La femme à la frontière
Ludéal's "La frontière" is a beautiful song that tells a story of a man who is deeply in love with a woman he saw at the border. The first verse compares the woman's beauty to the dust that can't even stick to her jet black hair. The singer is lost in thought and is not present in the moment. He also mentions that he has never seen something so beautiful that could open his eyes like this woman did.
The second verse is about the events that took place at the border. The singer meets some not-so-friendly individuals who make him drink a powerful syrup. He's still lost in thought, and the only thing he can focus on is the burning heat of the sun and the woman he saw. The singer roams aimlessly, hoping to catch a glimpse of her again. But it's all in vain, as the woman passes by without even noticing him.
The song portrays the agony of unrequited love and how the memory of that one person can linger even when everything else seems to fade away. The woman at the border becomes a symbol of a love that is uncertain and unattainable. The song also explores the themes of loneliness, regret, and longing.
