Carnaval
Sarah Bourdon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ma tête est légère comme une plume
Tu fais diminuer le volume
De mes pensées
Le ciel est remplis de lumiere
Je veux pas regarder à terre
Et de manquer
LA PLUS BELLE CHOSE DANS LA VIE
OU ROULER EN SENS INTERDIT
AVEC TOI
Marcher, flotant comme ballon
Sourire dans ta direction
Et te chanter
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Je peux sentir mon coeur qui fume
Quand la switch de tes yeux s'allume
Sur les miens
LA PLUS BELLE CHOSE DANS LA VIE
C′EST UN MANÈGE QUI ÉTOURDIT
OU ROULER EN SENS INTERDIT
AVEC TOI
Ooooooooooh oooooooooooh
LA PLUS BELLE CHOSE DANS LA VIE
C'EST UN MANÈGE QUI ÉTOURDIT
OU ROULER EN SENS INTERDIT
AVEC TOI
On s'enfuit ensemble dans la nuit
Dans la grandeur infinie
De l′amour qui nous unis
Toi et moi
Oooooooooooh oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooooh
The lyrics of "Carnaval" by Sarah Bourdon express the feeling of lightness and excitement when being with someone special. The song is about a couple escaping reality and surrendering to the moment, feeling the rush of emotions and sensations that love brings. The singer's head feels light as a feather, and her thoughts become quieter as she is overwhelmed by the light in the sky. She does not want to look down at the ground and miss the most beautiful thing in life, which is to experience a dizzying whirl on a carousel or drive in the wrong direction with her loved one.
The chorus repeats the idea of the most beautiful thing in life being a ride that makes you dizzy or going in the wrong direction with that special someone. The singer feels like she is walking on air, smiling at her partner, and singing to express her joy. The switch of her partner's eyes makes her heart race and almost catch fire with passion. The couple runs away together into the infinite greatness of the love that unites them, feeling free and alive.
In summary, "Carnaval" is a song about surrendering to love and feeling the rush of emotions and sensations that come with being with someone special. The lyrics use metaphors of lightness, dizziness, and going in the wrong direction to express the feeling of being carried away by passion.
