Les compter sur mes doigts
Toutes les fois
Où tu étais là pour moi
Dans mes tristesses
Et quand j’avais froid
Tes bras sont devenus
Un manteau de soie
Dans le ruisseau
Laissé couler
Les gouttes d’eau
Couché dans ce
Havre de flots
J’ai jeté ma peine
À travers les roseaux
Quand tout changeait
Tout me retournait (te retournait)
Tu restais là
Pour attraper les averses
Et cette fois
Où j’étais blessée (tu t’es blessée)
Tu m’as fait rire
Tu m’as pansée de baisers (couvert de baisers)
J’ai vu mes yeux
Dans le ruisseau (dans le ruisseau)
Laissé couler
Les gouttes d’eau (les gouttes d’eau)
Couché dans ce
Havre de flots (havre de flots)
J’ai jeté ma peine
À travers les roseaux
Tu es parti
Mais j’ai gardé ton halo
Tôt ce matin
J’ai pensé à toi (pensé à moi)
Quand l’arc-en-ciel brillait
Sur la brique noire
Tu n’es plus là
Pour me réchauffer (te réchauffer)
Mais dans tous mes revers
Tu es imprégné (je suis imprégné)
J’ai vu mes yeux
Dans le ruisseau (dans le ruisseau)
Débordant
De larmes trop chaudes (tes larmes chaudes)
Tu me manques
Et tout sonne faux (tout sonne faux)
Mais je dois rentrer
Et vivre sans tes mots
Tu es parti (je suis parti)
Mais j’ai gardé ton halo (mais tu gardes mon halo)
Tu es parti, mais tu me restes infini (je suis parti, mais je te reste infini)
Tu es parti, mais tu me restes infini (je suis parti, mais je te reste infini)
The lyrics of Maude Audet's "Dans le ruisseau" speak to a deep sense of gratitude and loss. The singer reflects on all the times that her partner was there for her during difficult moments, serving as a source of comfort and warmth. She speaks of "countless" times when he was there to catch the "rain" and "mend" her when she was hurt. The metaphor of water is strong throughout the song, from the "stream" where she sheds tears to the "havens" of water where she seeks solace.
The chorus speaks to a particularly poignant moment when the singer looks into the water and sees her own eyes reflecting back at her. She considers the notion of letting go of her pain and throwing it "through the reeds" in this moment. The final verse speaks to the singer's ongoing sense of loss and longing, but also to the idea that her partner's influence will always be with her. Even though he is gone, his "halo" remains with her.
Overall, "Dans le ruisseau" is a deeply emotional song that explores themes of love, loss, and gratitude. It is a powerful tribute to the ways in which we rely on our partners to help us through difficult times, and how they continue to shape and influence us even when they are gone.
