Vers le sud
Salomé Leclerc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rapiécer le décor
Blanchir la nuit entre les dunes
Faut dire, j'essayais fort
Mais le sud, c'est pas beau sans toi
Je pensais rapporter
La lune à bout de bras
Je suis restée en bas
L'impossible se fait pas sans toi
Errer
Errer
Le temps qu'il faut
Poser, poser
Son coeur au chaud
Errer
Errer
Le temps qu'il faut
Poser, poser
Son coeur au chaud
(Oh oh...)
In Salomé Leclerc's song "Vers le sud," the singer is embarking on a journey towards the southern region. She is planning to patch up the scenery and purify or cleanse the night that engulfs the sand dunes. She admits that she is trying hard to fulfill this task, but she is unable to because going south without her lover is not a beautiful experience. The lyrics seem to suggest that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the fact that she cannot enjoy the splendor of the southern environment without her lover. She yearns for her lover's company and wishes that they are together in this beautiful scene.
The second part of the lyrics talks about the singer's plan to carry the moon with her bare hands. She believed that she could do the impossible, but she failed. Despite her best efforts, the moon is still in the sky, and she remains on the ground. The singer again confesses that she cannot do anything without her lover's presence, even the impossible becomes possible with their soulmate. The repetitions of the phrase "Errer, errer" in the song imply that sometimes we must wander and take as much time as possible to gather what we need. However, you need a sense of peace and protection when you finally decide to put your heart at ease. In summary, the singer's journey to the south is a symbol of her pursuit of happiness, which is incomplete without her partner.
