Eva,
Entre ses mains tu viens et vas
A ses questions tu restes éva-

Accorde ton corps sans trêve à

Eva.
Aussitôt fait, l'amour s'éva-

Eva.
Ne retiens de ta main les va-

Overall Meaning

The song "Eva" by Nicolas Bacchus tells the story of a woman named Eva who is caught in a cycle of abusive love. The lyrics describe how Eva is trapped in the hands of her abusive partner, who asks her questions to which she can only answer evasively. Eva is described as giving in to his advances and fleeing into passion, but always under his control. The chorus is a plea for Eva to give herself up to his "furious assaults", even if it means accepting death. The song describes how, as soon as the love-making is finished, the love itself evaporates, leaving only a ghostly memory behind. The lyrics go on to describe how Eva is left alone, dreaming of past pleasure, but bound to her abuser's whims.


The lyrics evoke a sense of sadness and desperation in the listener, as the cycle of abuse seems never-ending for Eva. The language used is poetic and evocative, with words like "évanouis" (flee) and "va-nu-pieds" (barefoot) giving the song a dreamlike quality. The haunting melody further adds to the emotional power of the song, creating a sense of helplessness and despair.
