Patrick Fiori Lyrics

Tombent les pluies rien ne me fait peur
Loin d'ici, loin des douleurs,
Je sais où ressusciter, je sais où aller
C'est une campagne où je suis né
C'est un rivage où tout a commencé
J'en ai vu bien d'autres mais celui-là
C'est une langue qui m'a bercé
Ce sont des notes qui m'ont emporté
Vers toutes les autres mais sans jamais
Risquer de se faire oublier
Qu'il neige sur ma vie, gèle en mon cœur
Tombent les pluies rien ne me fait peur
Loin d'ici, loin des douleurs,
Je sais où ressusciter, je sais où aller
Ce sont des visages familiers
Des vieux que l'âge incruste peu à peu
Dans nos paysages montagneux
Des hommes comme des rochers
C'est une enfance que je chéris
C'est une chance de pousser ici
Prison de soleil au milieu des mers
Terre de rêve et repère
Qu'il neige sur ma vie, gèle en mon cœur
Tombent les pluies rien ne me fait peur
Loin d'ici, loin des douleurs,
Je sais où ressusciter, je sais où aller
Qu'il neige sur ma vie, gèle en mon cœur
Tombent les pluies rien ne me fait peur
Loin d'ici, loin des douleurs,
Je sais où ressusciter, je sais où aller
Gardez tous les châteaux des rois
Or ou bijoux je reste là
Je ne les échangerai pas
Là je suis chez moi
Je suis riche de ça
Je suis riche de ça
Qu'il neige sur ma vie, gèle en mon cœur
Tombent les pluies rien ne me fait peur
Loin d'ici, loin des douleurs,
Je sais où ressusciter, je sais où aller
Qu'il neige sur ma vie, gèle en mon cœur
Tombent les pluies rien ne me fait peur
Loin d'ici, loin des douleurs,
Je sais où ressusciter, je sais où aller
The lyrics of Patrick Fiori's song "Je Sais Où Aller" can be interpreted as a nostalgic and introspective reflection on the artist's origins and the importance of one's roots in defining their identity, particularly in times of personal crisis. The opening lines, "Qu'il neige sur ma vie, gèle en mon cœur" ("Let it snow on my life, freeze in my heart"), suggest a sense of emotional coldness or detachment, but this is countered by the assertion that "nothing scares me" in the face of rain and other hardships. The repeated refrain, "Je sais où ressusciter, je sais où aller" ("I know where to revive, I know where to go"), reinforces this sense of confidence and self-assurance, as if the singer has a firm grasp on their sense of purpose and direction.
The verses that follow provide more context for this sentiment. The singer describes their birthplace, a countryside they cherish and a shoreline where "everything began". Although they have since been to many other places, this particular landscape remains indelible in their memory. Similarly, the singer references a language that "rocked them" and musical notes that "carried them away" but never overshadowed the importance of their home culture. The mention of "familiar faces" and "old men gradually ingrained in our mountain landscapes" also speaks to the significance of community and personal history in shaping one's worldview.
Overall, the song seems to convey a profound appreciation for one's roots, and a belief that by revisiting the past and connecting with one's origins, one can find strength and meaning in the present. Despite the hardships of life and the allure of wealth and luxury, the singer declares that they would never trade the "prison of sun" and "land of dreams" that they call home.
