L'invitation à Venise
Nilda Fernández Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu peux laisser tes valises, on fera tout dans la journée
Je voudrais pas qu'un long séjour nous épuise
Faut que je t'invite à Venise avant que l'eau l'ait noyée
Avant que l'eau des banquises vienne couvrir le monde entier
On ira sur les jetées qui s'enlisent
On ne fera ni les églises ni les galeries des musées
Et de surprise en surprise...
On se perdra dans les cartes postales
On voguera sur les canaux sales
Faut que je t'invite à Venise, c'est urgent c'est très pressé
Surtout que je réalise que tu ne m'as jamais rien demandé
Je voudrai bien qu'un de ces jours, tu me dises
Il faut que tu m'invites à Venise
Il faut que tu m'invites à Venise avant que l'eau l'ait noyée
Et de surprise en surprise
On se perdra dans les cartes postales
On voguera sur les canaux sales
The lyrics of Nilda Fernandez's song, L'invitation à Venise, talk about the singer wanting to invite someone to Venice before the city becomes completely submerged in water. The urgency in his voice is apparent as he wants to take this person on a day trip before the water from the melting glaciers cover the world entirely. He asks the person to leave their suitcase at home as they will be spending the entire day together. The lyrics suggest that he doesn't want to exhaust them with a long stay, instead keeping it short and sweet with a day trip.
The singer wants the person to experience the magic of Venice by exploring the city's canals and old bridges. He urges them to leave the touristy sites alone and just wander around, getting lost in the magic. The idea of losing themselves in postcards suggests that they will get immersed in the city's beauty, and the person will undoubtedly fall in love with this magical place.
The last part of the song reveals a secret wish in the singer's heart. He realizes that he has never been asked explicitly by the person to take them to Venice, but he still wants them to express their desire to go there. The song ends with the singer urging the person to invite him to Venice, which suggests that he also wants to go back and experience the beauty again.
