Marjane
Romain Humeau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Résonne un cri
Petit bonze
Au pouls du néon d'hôpital
Tu bronzes
Eclatant mille et un rubis
À balbutier le monde
Welcome par ici
0n y apprend la mer
0n y parle fleur
Cernés de moult prophètes
Et dictateurs
Dans I'objectif
Du photographe
Le diable rédige
Ton épitaphe
"C'est quand qu'où vais-je?
Et y blottis-je mon âme?"
Mademoiselle
Coquette, coquine
Mon général
Dourakine
Tu verras, vivre, c'est joli
Quand meme, c'est
Marjarne
Tintinnabulantes cloches
Dans mes poches
Peter Pan n'est pas loin
Posé là sur l'axe d'un songe
Pissant à la lune, radieux
Sa liqueur de comète
L'amour est un grand loup chanmé
Et vous en êtes
On y apprend les autres
Limbes et enfers
Tu peux de tes yeux fermés
Garder livre ouvert
Tous azimuts
Suns au zénith
Dans une odeur
De poulet-frites
Murmures
But, don't you give a damn?
Mademoiselle
Coquette, coquine
Allez donc saluer la colline
Are you ready
Pour l'aventure?
Marjane
In "Marjane" by Romain Humeau, the lyrics depict a vivid and introspective journey of self-discovery and exploration. The song opens with the image of a cry resonating at the end of a corridor, creating a sense of urgency and intensity. The mention of a "petit bonze" and a hospital neon light suggests a mystical and surreal setting, where the singer is trying to find his place in the world.
The next line, "Tu bronzes, éclatant mille et un rubis," can be interpreted as the singer's transformation and blossoming in this unique environment. The use of the word "rubis" (rubies) signifies the beauty and richness of his experiences. The phrase "À balbutier le monde, Welcome par ici, En vie" suggests that despite the challenges, the singer is embracing life and finding his voice.
The second verse speaks of learning about the sea and speaking of flowers, emphasizing the importance of knowledge and beauty. The mention of "moult prophètes et dictateurs" signifies the presence of influential and powerful figures who shape the singer's understanding of the world. This verse implies that even in the midst of chaos, there is still room for growth and understanding.
The third verse delves deeper into the singer's introspection and contemplation of his purpose in life. The line "Le diable rédige ton épitaphe" suggests a confrontation with his own mortality and existential questions. The following question, "C'est quand qu'où vais-je? Et y blottis-je mon âme?" shows a yearning for meaning and a desire for connection and contentment.
The mention of "Mademoiselle Coquette, coquine" and "Mon général Dourakine" introduces a touch of playfulness and whimsy, perhaps representing different aspects of the singer's personality. The line "Tu verras, vivre, c'est joli quand même, c'est Marjane" can be seen as an affirmation of life's beauty and the singer's identity as "Marjane."
The final verse paints a surreal and dreamlike scene with bells in the pocket and Peter Pan nearby. This imagery conveys a sense of freedom and youthful optimism. The phrase "L'amour est un grand loup chanmé, et vous en êtes" suggests that love can be both beautiful and dangerous, and everyone is a part of it.
The verse continues with the theme of learning and exploring. The phrase "On y apprend les autres, limbes et enfers, tu peux de tes yeux fermés garder livre ouvert" encourages the listener to open themselves up to new experiences and perspectives. It symbolizes the importance of keeping an open mind and heart in order to learn and grow.
The song concludes with the lines "Tous azimuts, suns au zénith, dans une odeur de poulet-frites, murmures. But, don't you give a damn?" This highlights a sense of freedom and indifference to societal norms, as the singer refuses to conform to expectations. The final line "Are you ready pour l'aventure? Marjane" encapsulates the spirit of exploration and readiness for the unknown, emphasizing the singer's personal journey of self-discovery and embracing the adventure that life offers.

Si les opinions politiques de Romain Humeau te défrisent autant le fondement, tu n'as qu'à retourner patauger dans ta fange lepeniste avec ta posture réactionnaire fascisante. Ce ne serait pas une grande perte.
