Tout Au Fond De Mon Coeur
Salvador Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Tout au fond de mon coeur
Entouré de hauts murs noircis
Un pauvre arbre sans jour
A poussé sous le ciel de Paris
Il ne recoit qu'un soleil tiède et las
Et de l'eau qui a lavé les toits
Il n'a pour l'égayer
Que les chats du quartier
Tout au fond de mon cœur
Prisonnier de barrières de fer
Un impossible amour
Cherche à s'épanouir en plein air
Celle que j'aime est séparée de moi
Pour la vie
Et l'amour se languit
Tout au fond de mon cœur


Tout au fond de mon coeur
Pour construire un jardin de joie
Un chantier s'est ouvert
Et l'on détruit les murs à pleins bras
L'arbre chétif a déplié ses doigts
Ses bourgeons se sont ouverts déjà
Une fleur violette
Montre sa jolie tete
Tout au fond de mon cœur
Le bonheur est entré soudain
Est entré avec toi
Et l'amour nous a pris dans ses mains
Les murs s'écroulent et je suis emporté
Par la vie




Et l'amour chante et rit
Tout au fond de mon cœur

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Salvador's song "Tout Au Fond De Mon Coeur" paint a vivid picture of inner turmoil, longing, and the transformative power of love. The imagery of a lonely tree growing in the heart, surrounded by dark walls in Paris, sets the stage for a sense of confinement and despair. The tree receives only a faint and tired sun, and water that has washed the rooftops, with nothing but the company of neighborhood cats to bring some solace. This encapsulates a feeling of isolation and an unfulfilled yearning for connection and brightness in life.


The mention of an impossible love trying to bloom in open air further emphasizes the theme of separation and longing. The singer's love interest is distanced from them for life, creating a deep sense of heartbreak and unattainable love. The poignant portrayal of love languishing in the depths of the heart resonates with the pain of unrequited affection and the struggle to find solace in a love that seems out of reach. The emotional depth depicted in these verses conveys a powerful sense of yearning and emotional turmoil.


As the song progresses, there is a shift in the narrative, symbolized by the construction of a joyful garden in the depths of the heart. The imagery of tearing down walls and an ailing tree blossoming with violet flowers signifies a transformation and a newfound hope for happiness and fulfillment. The arrival of the person the singer loves brings a sudden and unexpected happiness, breaking down barriers and bringing love into their lives. This transformation represents a turning point from loneliness and confinement to a new beginning filled with love and joy.


The final verses capture the overwhelming presence of happiness and love that floods the singer's heart. The walls that once imprisoned them now crumble as life takes over, and love envelops them in its embrace. The freedom and joy that come with this newfound love are illustrated through the imagery of laughter and song, signaling a release from the constraints of the past and a celebration of newfound happiness. The journey from isolation and heartache to love and liberation portrayed in these lyrics conveys a powerful message of resilience, hope, and the transformative nature of love.
