Carla
Manu Larrouy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Serait-ce ton tour de man
ège?
Entre l'odeur des pommes d'amour
Et les néons des autos tamponneuses
Carla, tiens ma main
Carla, viens danser
Carla, tu es belle ce soir
Carla, je veux t'embrasser
The first two lines of the chorus ask the question "Would you fall in love with a carnival worker? Is it your turn on the merry-go-round?" This sets the scene as the singer and Carla are at a carnival, surrounded by the sounds and smells of the fairground. The singer then implores Carla to dance with him and tells her that she looks beautiful. He reveals his feelings for her and says that he wants to kiss her.
The song paints a picture of young love and infatuation, set against the backdrop of a carnival. The use of imagery such as the smell of apples and the glow of neon lights reinforces the vividness of the scene. The repetition of Carla's name in the chorus creates a sense of intimacy and emphasis on the singer's feelings for her. The lyrics capture the excitement and uncertainty of new love, with the singer asking Carla if she would fall for someone who works at the carnival, implying that he himself may not be a "suitable" partner.
