Dusty Men French Version
Saule feat. Charlie Winston 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
Ho ho 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
Nous sommes les dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time like an old time song
Hou hou hou
We are the dusty men
Nous sommes les dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time like an old time song
Hou hou hou
Hey toi l'Englishman, enlève donc ton chapeau
What? 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
Poussièreux tous les deux
Poussièreux tous les deux
(Dusty)
Poussièreux tous les deux
Poussièreux tous les deux
(Dusty, dusty)
Existe-t-il un autre style?
We are the dusty men
Nous sommes les dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time like an old time song
Hou hou hou
We are the dusty men
Nous sommes les dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time like an old time song
Hou hou hou
We are the dusty men
Nous sommes les dusty men
Like an old time, like an old time like an old time song

Hou hou hou hou
In the first verse, the singer likens themselves to an old man playing a lonely song, which suggests that they are feeling isolated and disconnected from others. They play simply to get by and connect with others through music, as shown in the repetition of "I got my own style, you got your own style." This repetition both emphasizes their individuality and highlights their awareness of others' unique qualities.
The second verse continues with a scene in a cemetery where two dusty men, feeling melancholic and isolated, ponder the existence of another style beyond their own. The Englishman in the scene is asked to remove his hat, but the exchange quickly leads to a discussion about individuality and style, expressing pride in their own styles of dustiness. "Poussièreux tous les deux" roughly translates to "Both dusty," calling attention to their shared state of being but also highlighting the unique qualities of each individual.
The chorus repeats several times, reinforcing the theme of being knowingly dusty and embracing one's individuality, while also drawing a connection between the dusty individuals and an old-time song that has persisted over time. The repetition of "like an old time song" and the use of "Hou hou hou" throughout the song lend an almost ritualistic quality, as if they are paying homage to the past and the persistence of their own individuality in the face of time.
