Les Baisers Perdus
Mika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Des baisers qui traînent
comme des chats gris
sur les toits de Paris
Qui vivent leur vie
Y'a des baisers qui s'perdent
En chemin, qui s'retrouvent
Des baisers vagabonds
Qui dorment sous les ponts
Où coule la Seine
Un peu de leur peine
On ne sauve plus des baisers perdus
Y'a des baisers qui s'perdent
Des baisers qui rêvent d'être volés
Qui n'ont jamais osés aller se poser
Y'a des baisers qui s'prennent
En photo, des baisers de Doisneau
Moi j'reste le bec dans l'eau
Dans le caniveau
Où finit l'amour
un peu chaque jour
On ne sauve plus des baisers perdus
Où s'en vont-ils
Ces baisers qui se perdent
Quand tu es devant moi
Où s'en vont-ils
Seuls au monde à n'attendre que toi
Dis-le moi
Y'a des baisers qui s'perdent
Des baisers qui traînent
comme des chats gris
sur les toits de Paris
Qui vivent leur vie
Y'a des baisers qui s'perdent
En chemin, qui s'retrouvent
comme des cons
Des baisers vagabonds
Qui dorment sous les ponts
Où coule la Seine
Un peu de leur peine
On ne sauve plus des baisers perdus
The lyrics of Mika’s song, Les Baisers Perdus or Lost Kisses, express the common phenomenon of lost, unreceived, and unrequited kisses that roam and wander around the city of Paris. The song’s straightforward and playful lyrics evoke a sense of innocent, youthful romance and melancholy. Mika compares these lost kisses to stray cats that live on the rooftops of Paris, living their own lives without any direction or care. He continues to describe how some lost kisses find their way back, while others remain sleeping under the bridges of the Seine River, carrying a little bit of sadness with them.
Mika draws a parallel between the lost kisses and the fading of love, using the lyrics “where love ends, a little every day.” The song reflects on the transience of love and how it fades away, like the forgotten kisses that become just a memory or a photograph. Mika questions the fate of these lost kisses, wondering where they go, and if they ever find their way back to their intended recipient. The song's romanticism is accompanied by an air of subtlety and hints of sadness, which are reminiscent of the classic French chanson.
