Dusty men
Saule Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I play my lonely song
Just like an old man
I play to get along
I got my own style, you got your own style
I got my own style, you got your own style
Oh oh Saule
Dans l'allée tout au fond
A six pieds sous terre
A deux on se morfond
Moi j'avais mon style, toi t'avais ton style
Existe-t-il un autre style?
We are the dusty men
We are the dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time
Like an old time song (Oh oh oh)
We are the dusty men
We are the dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time
Like an old time song (Oh oh oh)
Hey toi l'Englishman, enlève donc ton chapeau
Watch what you say man, don't speak my mother tongue
'Cause I got my own style, you got your own style
Saule, listen
I got my own style, you got your own style
Poussière tous les deux
Poussière tous les deux (Dusty)
Poussière tous les deux
Poussière tous les deux (Dusty, dusty)
Existe-t-il un autre style?
We are the dusty men
We are the dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time
Like an old time song (Oh, oh, oh)
We are the dusty men
We are the dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time
Like an old time song (Oh, oh, oh)
We are the dusty men
We are the dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time
Like an old time song (Oh, oh, oh)
We are the dusty men
We are the dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time
Like an old time song
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Poussière, danse dans la poussière, suis nous
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Poussière, danse dans la poussière, suis nous
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Poussière, danse dans la poussière, suis nous
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Poussière, danse dans la poussière, suis nous
Like an old time song
We are the dusty men
We are the dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time
Like an old time song
We are the dusty men
We are the dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time
Like an old time song
Oh oh oh oh
The song Dusty Men by Saule is an anthem of sorts for those who do not quite fit into society's norms. The opening lines of the song "Just like an old man, I play my lonely song, I play to get along" suggest that the artist has been playing his song for a while and is willing to keep playing to keep going. The next line, "I got my own style, you got your own style" illustrates the idea that everyone is unique and has something of their own to offer. The following verses reinforce this theme with the lines "We are the dusty men" and "Poussière tous les deux" (meaning 'dust all of us') suggesting that they are all outsiders who are united in their differences.
The song’s lyrics highlight the notion of being out of step with society's predetermined norms and expectations. The repeated mantra "Like an old time song" captures the idea of the dusty men being a throwback to a time that no longer exists, as they struggle to find their place in the contemporary world. It appears to suggest that ultimately, it may not matter what society thinks of them, as they can revel in their differences and unite in their shared struggles.
Interestingly, the song also appears to have a strong connection to the artist's own life story. Saule, whose real name is Baptiste Lalieu, was born to a French mother and a Belgian father, and was raised in both countries. His multilingual background is reflected in the various languages used throughout the song. Saule has stated that the song is about "the feeling of being different" and the struggle to find acceptance in the world.
