En Sourdine
Sava Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Les roses étaient toutes rouges
et les lierres étaient noirs.
Cher pour peu que tu bouges
renaissent tous mes espoirs.

Le ciel était très bleu, très tendre.
La mer très verte et l'air très doux.

Calmes dans le demi-jour
que les branches hautes font.
Pénétrons bien notre amour.
De ce silence profond.

Fondons nos âmes, nos cœurs,
parmi les vagues langueurs.

Mystiques barcarolles,
romances sans paroles
Chèr, tes yeux ont la
couleur des cieux.

Étrange vision, qui dérange,
et trouble l'horizon de ma raison.

Puisque tout ton être,
musique qui pénètre,
sur d'almes cadences,
et ses correspondances.

Induit mon cœur subtil,
ainsi soit-il, soit-il!

Overall Meaning

In Sava's song "En Sourdine," the lyrics express a profound sense of love and passion. The first verse presents the scene of the setting sun, with the roses turning red and the ivy turning black. Despite the fleeting nature of this moment, the singer finds hope and new beginnings in their love for their partner. The second verse describes the tranquility of the moment, with the high branches creating a peaceful atmosphere. The singer invites their partner to embrace and feel their love deeply and connect on both an emotional and spiritual level.

The chorus of the song continues with a sense of poetic language, describing the intensity of the moment through mystical barcarolles and romances without words. The singer then describes their partner's eyes as having the color of the sky, an expression of the intensity of their love. The final verse brings a sense of unease, as the singer is disorientated by the overpowering nature of their feelings. They describe their partner's presence as a "music that penetrates" their being and induces their "subtle heart," making it clear that their love is all-encompassing and all-consuming.
