T'es le beau Raphaël
Marie-Jo Thério Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
T'es mignon, t'es gentil
Mais pourquoi tu t'ennuies
À en pleurer
Tu fais danser les fous
Tu fais hurler les loups, hey hey
Mais t'es tout seul
De ta fenêtre, t'entends le vent
Au beau milieu de la nuit
De ta fenêtre, t'entends le vent
Qui veut jouer avec ta vie
T'es le beau Raphaël
Tard, tard tous les soirs
Tu fais la fête, tu joues la game
Et c'est tant pis
Mais pourquoi tu fais ça
T'entends même pas ta voix, hey
Et t'es tout seul, tout seul
À en pleurer
De ta fenêtre, t'entends le vent
Au beau milieu de la nuit
De ta fenêtre, t'entends le vent
Qui veut jouer avec ta vie
De ta fenêtre, t'entends le vent
Au beau milieu de la nuit
De ta fenêtre, t'entends le vent
Qui veut jouer avec ta vie, hey
Avec ta vie, hey-hey
Qui veut jouer avec ta vie
The lyrics of Marie-Jo Thério's song "T'es le beau Raphaël" paint a vivid picture of a character named Raphaël who is described as handsome and cute, yet seems to be struggling with boredom and loneliness to the point of tears. Despite his charming and engaging nature, he finds himself in moments of solitude and melancholy. The repetitive refrain of "Tout seul à en pleurer" (All alone, crying) highlights the emotional depth of Raphaël's inner turmoil.
The lyrics suggest that Raphaël is a charismatic individual capable of captivating and entertaining others, making them dance and howl in excitement. However, underneath this outward persona lies a sense of emptiness and isolation. The juxtaposition of Raphaël's outward appearance and his internal struggles adds complexity to his character, hinting at a deeper vulnerability and longing for connection.
The imagery of Raphaël hearing the wind from his window in the middle of the night adds a haunting and eerie tone to the song. The wind symbolizes a force that is both mysterious and potentially menacing, as it is described as wanting to play with Raphaël's life. This imagery further underscores the sense of danger and uncertainty that surrounds Raphaël's existence, mirroring his emotional turmoil and inner conflicts.
