Chanson nette
Plume Latraverse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qui r'lèguent aux oubli--ettes leurs souvenirs d'enfant
Et dont l'intolérance les a vite dépourvus
De toute la transparance que leur enfance à eu
C'est une chansonnette à la mémoire de ceux
Ceux dont l'fond des lunettes en a perdus un peu
Et dont la complaisance pour la réalité
C'est une chansonnette pour le petit boufon
Qui habite les fillettes et les petits garcons
Le lutin qui nous quitte un de ces beaux matins
Mais qui nous réinvite dans l'âme de son jardin
C'est une chansonnette pour qui a oublié
La magie d'être une mouette et la joie d'le crier
Lorsque la solitude ne s'asseyait jamais
Que l'oeil était moins rude pour tout c'qu'il l'entourrait
C'est une chansonnette pour ce souv'nir un peu
Des folies qu'on a faite en s'foutant du Bon Dieu
De l'énergie grouillante qui nous poussait à faire
Toute sorte d'affaire brillante qui ont l'don d'jouer a'ec les nerfs
C'est une chansonnette pour retrouver les yeux
Du petit coeur qui quette les moments merveilleux
Et qui explose et danse au fil des émotions
Sans qu'un cerveau ne pense à faire ségrégation
In Plume Latraverse's song Chanson nette, the lyrics speak to those who have grown old and forgotten the wonders and joys of their childhood. The song is a call to remember the magic of being young, carefree, and full of energy. The first verse speaks to individuals who have lost their transparency and tolerance due to intolerance and being deprived of their childhood memories. The second verse is a tribute to those who have lost a bit of their vision due to the complacency of reality, thereby losing the spontaneity of life.
The third verse is for the little clown who lives in girls and boys, the sprite who leaves us one fine morning but invites us back into the garden of their soul. The fourth verse is for those who have forgotten what it means to be a seagull, to scream their joy when they are alone, and to view the world with gentler eyes. The fifth verse speaks of the madness of youth, the energy to do anything, and to excel at everything.
The song's chorus echoes its central message: it is a song to rediscover the eyes of the small heart that seeks the wonderful moments, which burst and dance with emotions without any thought of segregation. In a nutshell, the song encourages listeners to relive their childhood memories, to discover the joys and wonders of life, and to embrace their inner child.
