Moulin Rouge
Musette; Pierre Solange Musette Ensemble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I worry and wonder.
Your lips may be near,
but where is your heart?
It's always like this,
I worry and wonder.
You're close to me here,
It's a sad thing to realize
that you've a heart that never melts.
When we kiss, do you close your eyes,
pretending that I'm someone else?
You must break the spell,
this cloud that I'm under.
So please won't you tell, darling,
where is your heart?
The French song Moulin Rouge by Musette; Pierre Solange Musette Ensemble is a poignant and heart-wrenching melody that questions the depth of emotions and the authenticity of love in a relationship. The first stanza talks about the feelings of uncertainty and apprehension that arise when the singer kisses his/her beloved, as he/she wonders where his/her heart is despite being physically close. This could mean that the singer is unsure of the other person's commitment or feels emotionally disconnected from him/her. The chorus repeats the same idea, indicating that the singer is struggling with the same thoughts and emotions repeatedly.
The second stanza reveals the singer's realization that his/her partner may not have a heart that melts with love, which is a sad realization. He/she questions if his/her partner is imagining someone else while kissing, which showcases the singer's insecurity in the relationship. The concluding stanza urges the partner to break the spell and reveal his/her emotions truthfully, so the singer can understand where his/her heart lies.
