Je Sais Que La Terre Est Plate
Raphael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je sais les noms des nuages
Je sais qu´il n´y a pas de vie après la mort
Je ne suis pas si idiot
Je sais que je te connais d´avant,
Que le bateau arrive demain,
Que tout est déjà écrit quelque part
Je sais qu´un jour je ne me réveillerai pas
Je sais qu´on ne vieillira pas
Je l´ai vu dans ma Marlboro light
Les fumées prédisent l´avenir
Je sais qu´un jour nous serons invisibles
Je sais que je n´oublie pas
Je me réveille avec ton souffle
Mais cette vie dans cet état
Je sais que nous nous rencontrerons à nouveau
Dans cette vie ou dans une autre parallèle,
Retrouver la formule du rêve,
Tu me réveilles encore
Toute mince avec ton ventre rond,
Nous nous marierons
Quand les témoins seront partis
Et les étoiles dans la nuit
Je sais mon amour ce qui compte
Et je connais ta bouche
Et je connais ton âge
In Raphael's song "Je Sais Que La Terre Est Plate," he sings about his knowledge of the mysteries of life and the universe. The first verse states that he knows the Earth is flat, the names of clouds, and that there is no life after death. He then makes a point to say that he is not foolish for having these beliefs, implying that they are somehow valuable to him.
The second verse continues with Raphael's statements of knowledge, claiming that he knows someone from a past life and that a boat will arrive tomorrow. He believes that everything is predetermined and has already been written down somewhere in the universe. He acknowledges that he knows he will not wake up one day and that aging is not a reality. The line "Je l´ai vu dans ma Marlboro light" suggests that he gains a sense of clarity about the future from smoking cigarettes.
The final verse speaks of Raphael's belief in the connection between souls and how he knows he will meet his lover again, either in this life or another. He speaks of marriage and how it will only be important when there are no witnesses left, signifying that the union between two people should be based on their love for each other, not the opinions of others. Ultimately, he ends the song by reiterating that he knows what matters, alluding to the importance of love and human connection.
Overall, the song reflects on Raphael's personal beliefs and understanding of the world around him. It highlights his appreciation for the mysteries of life and the comfort he finds in believing in something greater than himself.
