L'Enfant Au Piano
Serge Lama Lyrics

In Serge Lama's song "L'Enfant Au Piano," the lyrics tell a heartfelt story of a child playing the piano with a heavy heart, looking up towards the heavens where his mother has gone to paradise. The child's emotions are evident as he plays the piano, pouring his heart into the instrument, and playing for his departed mother. The imagery of the angels in the sky adds to the incredible sorrow he is feeling, as they seem to be accompanying his music, contorting their wings in a beautiful spectacle.

The mother is depicted as beautiful, and it is easy to imagine her enjoying her child's music when she was still alive. The chorus again describes the child's gaze moving upward towards his father and playing the piano for his deceased mother. The final verse, "And he will play for her all his life," indicates that this loss has become a permanent part of the child's life. The lyrics are a poignant reminder of how music can express the most profound emotions in moments of grief, and how a child's talent can become a powerful tribute to a loved one who has passed away.
