Mon Homme
Mistinguett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet, tired you bet
But all that I soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
Is my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him!
I don't know why I should
He isn't good, he isn't true
He beats me too
What can I do?

Oh, my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away, When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day?
For whatever my man is
I am his forever more
Oh, my man I love him

Sometimes I say
If I could just get away
With my man
He'd go straight sure as fate
For it never is too late
For a man
I just like to dream
Of a cottage by a stream
With my man
Where a few flowers grew
And perhaps a kid or two
Like my man
And then my eyes get wet
I most forget till he gets hot
And tells me not to talk such rot

Oh, my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away, When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day?




For what ever my man is
I am his forever more

Overall Meaning

The song "Mon Homme" by Mistinguett tells the story of a woman who is deeply in love with a man who doesn't treat her well. She admits that she knows he isn't good or true, and that he even beats her, but she can't help but love him. The lyrics convey the complex emotions that often come with being in an unhealthy or abusive relationship, where the person being abused may still feel tied to their abuser due to feelings of love and attachment.


The singer describes how being with her man makes all of her problems disappear and the world feels bright again. She dreams of a future with him, of settling down and having a family, but ultimately knows that she'll always come crawling back to him, even if she sometimes considers leaving. The song captures the sense of desperation and despair that often comes with being in a relationship with someone who mistreats you, yet also highlights the depth of love and longing that can be present in such a situation.

I dream of running away with him


He'd go straight sure as fate
I believe he would change for the better


For it never is too late
It's never too late for redemption


For a man
For any man


I just like to dream
I simply enjoy dreaming


Of a cottage by a stream
Of a peaceful and idyllic home


Where a few flowers grew
Where there are a just a couple flowers


And perhaps a kid or two
And maybe a child or two


Like my man
That look like him


And then my eyes get wet
I start to cry


I most forget till he gets hot
But my emotions fade as soon as he becomes angry with me


And tells me not to talk such rot
Telling me not to speak foolishly

Sur cette terre, ma seule joie, mon seul bonheur
C'est mon homme
J'ai donné tout ce que j'ai, mon amour et tout mon cœur
À mon homme
Sur cette terre, ma seule joie, mon seul bonheur
C'est mon homme
J'ai donné tout ce que j'ai, mon amour et tout mon cœur
À mon homme
Et même la nuit
Quand je rêve, c'est de lui
De mon homme
Ce n'est pas qu'il soit beau, qu'il soit riche ni costaud
Mais je l'aime
C'est idiot
Il me fout des coups
Il me prend mes sous
Je suis à bout
Mais malgré tout
Que voulez-vous
Je l'ai tellement dans la peau
Que j'en deviens marteau
Dès qu'il s'approche c'est fini
Je suis à lui
Quand ses yeux sur moi se posent
Ça me rend toute chose
Je l'ai tellement dans la peau
Qu'au moindre mot
Il m'ferait faire n'importe quoi
J'tuerais, ma foi
J'sens qu'il me rendrait infâme
Mais je ne suis qu'une femme
Et, j'l'ai tellement dans la peau
Pour le quitter c'est fou ce que m'ont offert
D'autres hommes
Entre nous, voyez-vous ils ne valent pas très cher
Tous les hommes
La femme à vrai dire
N'est faite que pour souffrir
Par les hommes
Dans les bals, j'ai couru, afin de l'oublier j'ai bu
Rien à faire, j'ai pas pu
Quand il m'dit "viens"
J'suis comme un chien
Y a pas moyen
C'est comme un lien
Qui me retient
Je l'ai tellement dans la peau
Qu'j'en suis dingo
Que celle qui n'a pas aussi
Connu ceci
Ose venir la première
Me jeter la pierre
En avoir un dans la peau
C'est le pire des maux
Mais c'est connaître l'amour
Sous son vrai jour
Et j'dis qu'il faut qu'on pardonne
Quand une femme se donne
À l'homme qu'elle a dans la peau
À l'homme qu'elle a dans la peau
C'est mon homme, c'est mon homme
Un homme que j'ai dans la peau
Un homme que j'ai dans la peau
C'est mon homme
C'est mon homme, c'est mon homme, c'est mon homme

Original Tradução

Il a le regard économe
Il a le verbe rare, ça me plaît
Il aime le chant des colombes et l'odeur du café
Et ces petites choses qu'on fait sans y penser
C'est mon homme, mon drapeau
Mon homme, celui qu'il me faut
Je frissonne, je prends l'eau
C'est mon homme, mon abri, mon lit, mon héros

Il ne saurait pas comment briller
Ou comme un phare banal, oublié
Dans sa mer ordinaire
Ili brise les vagues sans voir
Ces milliers de lumières
Qu'il m'offre sans le vouloir
C'est mon homme, mon drapeau
Mon homme, celui qu'il me faut
Je frissonne, je prends l'eau
C'est mon homme, mon feu, mon repos
C'est mon homme, mon ami
Qui pardonne, celui qu'on choisit
Je tâtonne comme je faillis
C'est mon homme qui fait ce qu'il dit
C'est mon homme, je l'admire
Mon ozone, l'air que je respire
Mon opium, mon jour
Oh mon homme, mon toit, mon chemin,
Mon amour

Meu Homem
Ele tem um olhar economico
Ele tem um verbo raro... eu gosto disso
Ele ama o canto dos pombos e o cheiro do café
E são essas as coisinhas que fazemos sem pensar
Esse é meu homem, minha bandeira,
Meu homem, aquele que preciso
Eu me arrepio, tomo agua
Esse é meu homem, meu abrigo, meu leito, meu herói
Ele não saberia como brilhar
Como um farol banal, esquecido
E nesse mar ordinario, ele quebra as ondas sem ver
Essas milhares de luzes que são oferecidas a mim, sem querer
Esse é meu homem, minha bandeira
Meu homem, aquele que preciso
Eu me arrepio, tomo agua
Essa é meu homem, meu fogo, meu repouso,
Esse é meu homem, meu amigo
Que perdoa, aquele que escolhi
Quando hesito, quando eu falho
Esse é meu homem que faz o que ele diz
Esse é meu homem, eu o admiro
Meu ozônio, o ar que eu respiro
Meu ópio, meu dia
Meu homem, meu teto, meu caminho... meu amor.

La reprise de cette chanson est tout simplement géniale, j'adore, ce peps, cette fraicheur, et cette voix fabuleuse. Bravo Carmen

Ma mère me chantait des chansons de Mistinguett il y a plus de 30 ans, une artiste révolutionnaire à son époque, qui a soulevé des foules et autant de controverses. L'idée d'une comédie musicale sur cette artiste est géniale ! Carmen MV donne ici un ton, une voix, du caractère et un charme certain !
Impatiente d'en découvrir plus !!!
