Plaine Ma Plaine
Paul Mauriat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Plaine, ma plaine,
Plaine, ô mon immense plaine
Où traîne encore le cri des loups,
Grande steppe blanche de chez nous.
Plaine, ma plaine,
Entends-tu le pas des chevaux
Entends-tu le bruit de ces galops
Plaine, ma plaine,
Entends-tu ces voix lointaines
Les cavaliers qui vers les champs reviennent
Sous le ciel chevauchant en chantant
Vent de ma plaine,
Va-t-en dire aux autres plaines,
Que le soleil et les étés reviennent
Pour tous ceux qui savent espérer
Plaine, ma plaine,
Sous l'épais manteau de neige
La terre enferme dans sa main la graine
Qui fait la récolte de demain
Plaine, ma plaine,
Vent de la plaine
Tu peux gémir avec les loups
L'espoir est à nous plus fort que tout!
The song "Plaine Ma Plaine" by Paul Mauriat is a tribute to the vastness and beauty of the plains of Russia. The lyrics depict the desolate but enchanting landscape of the plains, where the howling of wolves is still heard, and vast expanses of white snow stretch as far as the eye can see. The song evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time when the land was pure and unspoiled.
The singer addresses the plains directly, asking if they can hear the sound of galloping horses and distant voices of men singing as they return from fields. The chorus of the song features a refrain that calls out to the winds of the plains to spread the message of hope and renewal to other lands. The singer reminds the listener that even under the snow, the land holds the promise of tomorrow's harvest.
Overall, "Plaine Ma Plaine" is a moving ode to a place that has captured the artist's heart. The song portrays a sense of pride in the land and its people and highlights the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity.
