J'en bouffe du cartésien
Des jours et des nuits sans virtuel
Vrai, du sûr et certain
Mes rues sont bien droites et toutes m'emmènent
Où les plans l'avaient prédit
Mes heures tournent sans mise en scène
Quand je pousse cette porte
Ticket pour un moment
Une porte où d'autres m'emportent
Où j'aime qui me me ment
Merci Thomas merci les frères,
Que vos lumières soient
Merci Charlie, merci Steven
Robert et toi François
Merci Vincent, Paul et les autres
De ces heures éternelles
Morricone et tous tes apôtres
Pour ces bouts de vies belles
C'est là qu'est ma vie
L'autre je l'oublie
Rêveurs, enjoliveurs, merci !
Je veux des filles et des motos qui volent
comme Marlon et Jean-Paul
Les mines de Louis, de Fernandel
Flôler Sophia Loren
Je veux les folies de Niro Robert, je veux
De Romy l'adrénaline
Voir Al Pacino gagner ses guerres
Et consoler Maryline
Et je pousse cette porte
Ticket pour un moment
Où j'aime qui me ment
Merci Thomas merci les frères,
Que vos lumières soient
Merci Charlie, merci Steven
Robert et toi François
The lyrics to Patrick Fiori's song Merci are about the escape from reality through entertainment and the power of artistic expression. The singer of the song talks about how they live a life filled with "cartesian" and "certain" moments, where their days and nights are devoid of virtual distractions. However, when they push open the door to a theatre, cinema, or any other artistic space, they are transported to a different world, one where they can forget about their problems and immerse themselves in the stories of others. The singer expresses their gratitude to the artists who create these stories, naming some of their personal favorites such as Thomas, Charlie, Steven, Robert, Francois, Vincent, Paul, Fernandel, Sophia Loren and Marilyn Monroe. The lines "Je veux des filles et des motos qui volent comme Marlon et Jean-Paul" ("I want girls and motorcycles that fly like Marlon and Jean-Paul") refer to the singer's desire for the fantastical and absurd, the kind of entertainment that takes them out of their mundane existence.
To the singer, this escape is what makes life worth living. They express their appreciation for the power of storytelling and the moments of "éternité" ("eternity") that it can create. Although the singer's life may seem ordinary, they recognize the magic that exists in the world of art, music, and cinema. The repetition of the phrase "Merci" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's gratefulness for the moments of pure joy and entertainment that artists provide.
