Je Chante
MIKA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, je chante sur mon chemin
Je chante, je vais de ferme en château
Je chante pour du pain, je chante pour de l′eau
Je couche, la nuit sur l'herbe tendre des bois
Les mouches ne me piquent pas
Je suis heureux, j′ai tout et j'ai rien
Et je chante sur mon chemin
Les elfes, divinités de la nuit
Les elfes couchent dans mon lit
La lune se faufile à pas de loup
Dans les bois, pour danser, pour danser avec nous
Je sonne, chez la comtesse aujourd'hui
Personne elle est partie
Elle n′a laissé qu′un plat d'riz pour moi
Me dit un laquais chinois
Je chante, mais la faim qui me poursuit
Tourmente mon appétit
Je tombe soudain au creux d′un sentier
Je défaille en tombant et je meurs à moitié
"Gendarmes, qui passez sur le chemin
Gendarmes, je tends les mains
Pitié, j'ai faim, je voudrais manger
Je suis tout léger, léger"
Au poste, d′autres moustaches m'ont dit
Au poste "Mon ami
C′est vous le chanteur, le vagabond?
On va vous enfermer, oui, votre compte est bon"
Ficelle, tu m'as sauvé de la vie
Ficelle, sois donc bénie
Car, grâce à toi j'ai rendu l′esprit
Je m′suis pendu cette nuit et depuis
Je chante, je chante soir et matin
Oh je chante sur les chemins
Je hante les fermes et les châteaux
Un fantôme qui chante, on trouve ça rigolo
Et je couche, la nuit sur l'herbe des bois
Les mouches ne me piquent pas
Je suis heureux, ça va, j′ai plus faim
Et je chante, sur mon chemin
Mika's song Je Chante tells the story of a wandering singer who travels from farm to castle, singing for his bread and water. The lyrics speak of the singer's contentment and happiness as he makes his way through life, singing wherever he goes. He sleeps under the stars in the woods, accompanied by the elves who are deities of the night. Even when faced with hunger and exhaustion, he perseveres and continues to sing. However, towards the end of the song, the singer is caught by the police, who mistake him for a vagabond and threaten to imprison him. In response, he ultimately takes his own life.
The song's lyrics evoke themes of freedom, happiness and the power of music to lift one's spirits. The singer is content with his simple way of life and doesn't need more than the bare necessities to survive. His music serves as a form of escapism, drawing him into a world of magic and wonder where he can forget his worries and find solace amidst the beauty of nature. However, the song's tragic ending reveals the harsh reality of life on the road for those who are deemed to be vagabonds and outcasts. It offers a reminder of how quickly one's fortunes can change and how all it takes is one misstep to lose everything.

I sing, I sing night and day
Oh, I'm singing on my way
I sing, going from farm to castle
I sing for bread, I sing for water
I spend the night on the forest grass
The flies don't bite me
I am happy, I have everything and I have nothing
And I'm singing on my way
Elves, night divinities
Elves sleep in my bed
The moon is sliding in the wood
Stealthily, to dance, to dance with us
I ring at the countess door today
Nobody, she's out
She just left a little bit of rice for me
Says to me a Chinese valet
I sing, but famine is following me
Tormenting my hunger
Suddenly I fall at the through of a path
I'm swooning while I fall and I'm almost dying
"Police officers, you who are passing on this path
Police officers, I hold my hands out
Have mercy, I'm hungry, I would like to eat
I am so light*... light... "
At the police station, other moustaches² told me
At the police station "Ah! My friend
Is that you the vagrant, the singer?
We're going to shut you up... yes, your time has come"
Oh, string, you saved me from life
String, may you be blessed so
Because, by your help, I gave my spirit back
I hung myself this night... and since it
I sing, I sing night and day
Oh, I'm singing on my way
I haunt farms and castles
A ghost who sings, that's funny
I spend the night on the forest grass
The flies don't bite me
I am happy, fine, I'm not hungry anymore
And I'm singing on my way
