Entre Nous
Mika Mendes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me séparer de toi ils ont reussi à le faire...
Detruire notre histoire...
A croire qu'ils en sont fiers. Baby
Loin d'imaginer... encore moins me douter
ce qui s'est passé derrière nous.
Mais comment, cela est-ce arrivé?
Qui de nous, nous deux, s'est fais pieger?
Ma vie sans toi n'est plus la même.

Tout est fini... mais pourtant?
Tout était si fascinant!
Tout était si attirant!
Tout était si évident!
Entre nous...
Tout était si fascinant!
Tout était si attirant!
Tout était si évident!
Entre nous...

M'éloigner de ton coeur,
ça ils ne pourront pas le faire...
Reparer les erreurs,
Je pense qu'à deux ont peut le faire...
Mais comment... cela est-ce arrivé?
Qui de nous, nous deux, s'est fais pieger?
Ma vie sans toi n'est plus la même
Tout est fini... mais pourtant
Tout était si fascinant!
Tout était si attirant!
Tout était si évident!
Entre nous...
Tout était si fascinant!
Tout était si attirant!
Tout était si évident!
Entre nous...

Tout cet amour qu'il y'a...

Tout cet amour qu'il y'a...

Overall Meaning

In "Entre Nous" Mika Mendes sings about a relationship that has come to an end due to external influences. He opens the song by acknowledging that they were successful in separating him from his lover, and tearing apart their history. He wonders whether these people who have caused the split are proud of themselves for what they have done. Mika reflects on the fact that he had no idea what had happened behind their backs - he couldn't imagine it, and neither could he have anticipated it. He then questions who between them fell into the trap that was set, and laments that life without his partner is no longer the same.

The chorus brings to light the beauty of their relationship, and how easy everything was between them. It was fascinating, attractive, and obvious that they were meant to be together.
