Bibi the Dog
M83 Lyrics

Svelte, long et stable, comme portant le ciel
The man being described is tall and slender, like he is holding up the sky with his thin legs and earthbound feet.

Sur ses fines échasses, cet homme semble irréel
The man being described appears unbelievable or fantastical as he walks on his long, skinny legs.

Ses cheveux et sa barbe sont d'un rouge épais
The man being described has thick, red hair and beard.

Le bout des ses doigts parle quand sa bouche se tait
The man being described is expressive with his fingers, even when he is silent.

A ses frêles épaules, structure organique
On his fragile shoulders, he carries an organic structure.

Des formes accrochées, des étoffes moirées
He wears draped fabrics with shimmering patterns.

Des plumes, des galons, des perles véridiques
He accessorizes with real feathers, metallic trims, and genuine pearls.

Il est ce soir un roi, demain sera Ganesh
He is tonight's king, tomorrow he might transform into the elephant god Ganesh.

Hier était Héra version extra-terrestre.
Yesterday he was like an extraterrestrial form of the Greek goddess Hera.

Il invente des savants, des dictateurs, des djinns
He creates scientists, dictators, and supernatural beings.

Les fait vivre immobiles, l'oeil perçant, sublimes
He makes them come alive even though they are motionless, with his piercing gaze and sublime presence.

Il ne faut qu'une nuit, dans un lieu insolite
All it takes is one night in an unusual place.

Pour repérer l'oiseau, rencontre électrique
To spot the bird requires an electric encounter.

Heya I'm walkin' to the beat Right now I'm talking to the street And now I'm burning in the heat
The singer is moving to the rhythm of the music, chatting with random people on the street, and feeling hot and excited.

Heya I'm rocking to the beat Right now I get to the place we meet And now We're burning in the heat
The singer meets someone special, dances with them to the music, and they both feel the passion of the moment.
