Si Loin La Foule
Myrtille Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le printemps se déroule, dans l'air tranquille,
Le soleil qui s'étire, en silence,
La lumière qui scintille en rayon qui danse,
[Refrain]
Jeu de lueur, éclat de douceur,
Des rires en couleur, où tous s'embrouille
Ce vent qui nous saoule et Si Loin La Foule[x2]
Regarde l'eau qui danse, sur le tempo,
Du vent qui balance, les feuilles des saules,
Et ta main qui se tend, vers la mienne,
Les rayons prennent leur temps, dans les persiennes
[Refrain 2]
Tout autour, l'humeur tranquille,
Le petit jour, court sur la ville,
Les bruits pétillent, les senteurs roulent,
Ce vent qui nous saoule et Si Loin La Foule[x2]
Myrtille's song "Si loin la foule" is a beautiful ode to nature and tranquility, with a message of finding peace and happiness away from the crowds and noise of urban life. The lyrics paint a serene picture of a peaceful Spring day, with the calming sound of water flowing, the sun stretching, and the light shimmering as if dancing in the rays. The refrain highlights the joy and laughter that can be found in moments of stillness and simplicity, where everyone is simply being themselves without the need to put on a façade to impress others.
The second verse continues with the theme of the beauty and peace of nature, with the water now dancing to a rhythm set by the wind, and the leaves of the willow trees swaying along with it. The connection between two people is also highlighted, as the singer's hand reaches out to the listener's, and the sunlight takes its time to shine through the blinds. The second refrain emphasizes the calm mood all around, with the morning light shining over the town, and the sounds and scents of nature all around, as the wind playfully intoxicates everyone in its path.
