Je Ne Veux Pas Parler
Serge Lama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taisent les murmures,
De cette part de boue
Que cachent les ramures
Je ne veux pas parler.
De cette part de rouille
En dessous l'or des grilles,
Dans mes serments aux filles,
Je ne veux pas parler.
Je veux parler d'amour,
Je veux parler d'espoir,
Dans les champs alentour
J'ai brisé les miroirs.
Les alouettes volent
Et le ciel n'est plus noir,
Quand on tue les paroles,
Quand on tue les paroles.
De cette part de bruit que
Cache la musique,
Cette part de Russie
Qui ronge l'Amérique,
Je ne veux pas parler.
De ce squelette en pleurs
Que le soleil maquille,
De cette part de coeur
Que nous mangeons aux filles,
Je ne veux pas parler.
Je veux parler d'amour,
Je veux parler d'espoir,
Laver le petit jour
De l'adieu des mouchoirs,
Quand les avions décollent,
Non, le ciel n'est plus noir,
Quand on tue les paroles,
Quand on tue les paroles,
Je ne veux pas parler.
Je suis né pour me taire
Et pour faire rêver
Les âmes solitaires
Et pour les consoler
De la douleur profonde
D'être venus au monde
Et de n'avoir personne à qui parler
The lyrics of "Je Ne Veux Pas Parler" by Serge Lama speak of the singer's tendency to remain silent about certain things in life. He talks about the cries and murmurs that hide behind the bushes and the mud that is covered by branches. He refuses to speak about these things because he only wants to talk about love and hope. He mentions breaking the mirrors in the fields to indicate that he's trying to break away from his past and move on to a better future. He says that killing the words that bring pain is the only way to see a brighter day.
The singer then talks about the noise that hides behind the music and the part of Russia that gnaws away at America. He speaks of the skeleton that weeps and the heart that we eat from the girls. He doesn't want to speak about these things because his only focus is on love and hope. He adds that he was born to remain silent and help people dream and find solace in their loneliness. He wants to console those who suffer deeply from the pain of existing and not having anyone to talk to.
