Savoir
Magic System Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thomas lui dit
Les mots qui le feront grandir
Thomas décrit ses mots
S'il ne sait pas les écrire
Il ne rêve pas de pouvoir
Il veut juste apprendre et savoir
Lire et toutes ses histoires
Ou garder l'espoir

Il veut savoir
Il veut pouvoir
De changer les choses
Libre de penser à soi
Il veut savoir
Il veut pouvoir
De changer les choses
Libre de penser à moi

Quel est son avenir
Son devenir
S'il n'y a pas d'écoles à construire
Comment peut-il
Choisir le chemin pour réussir
Il ne rêve pas de victoire
Il veut juste apprendre et savoir
Dit qu'il peut entrevoir
La lueur de l'espoir

Il veut savoir
Il veut pouvoir
De changer les choses
Libre de penser à soi
Il veut savoir
Il veut pouvoir
De changer les choses
Libre de penser à moi

Oh Bakangah yaki ho
Oh N'dé y yafa man
Oh Bakangah yaki ho
Oh N'dé y yafa man

Il veut savoir
Il veut pouvoir
De changer les choses
Libre de penser à soi
Il veut savoir
Il veut pouvoir
De changer les choses
Libre de penser à moi

Il veut savoir
Il veut pouvoir
De changer les choses
Libre de penser à soi
Il veut savoir
Il veut pouvoir
De changer les choses
Libre de penser à moi
Construire une école c'est fermer une prison

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Magic System's song "Savoir" are about a young man named Thomas who desires education as a means to attain success and happiness. The first verse highlights Thomas's desire to learn and grow through education, even if he cannot write his own words. He dreams of being able to read and delve into the stories that books hold, something that he believes holds the key to changing his life and the world around him. The chorus repeats Thomas's desire to be knowledgeable and empowered to change the world, free to think for himself and work towards his own goals. The second verse continues this theme of education as the pathway to success, with Thomas wanting to choose his own path but feeling limited by the lack of educational resources in his community. He doesn't dream of victory or fame, just the ability to learn and see a brighter future ahead.


The song ends with the repeated desire for knowledge and power to enact change, with the final line "Construire une école c'est fermer une prison" translating to "Building a school is closing a prison." This powerful line highlights the transformative power of education, specifically in the lives of those who feel trapped or limited by their circumstances.
