Recto-Verso
Serge Lama Lyrics

The song "Recto-Verso" by Serge Lama is an ode to a beautiful woman, who the singer cannot resist. The refrain begins with "Recto-Verso," which translates to "double-sided," implying that the woman is multifaceted and complex. The singer uses astrological signs to describe her, referring to her as both a Virgo and an Aquarius. However, these signs are used more as a way to compliment her than to define her personality. The singer claims that she is the one who wears his color the best and that she is the one who fits his heart the best, indicating that she is his true love.

The singer is completely infatuated with the woman, stating that he is "caught in her muslin" and struggles in vain to resist her charms. He compares her to a fly, but not in a derogatory manner. It seems as though he sees the woman as something beautiful and delicate, like a fly caught in a spider's web. He is also "trapped" in her hair, where he gets lost in his confessions. He mentions that when she closes her eyes, she is just the right size for all his romantic battles.

In the final verse, the singer mentions that the woman is also his partner in travel. He describes her as belonging to the same ship as him, stating that she never loses her way. The song ends with the refrain, emphasizing the singer's admiration for the woman's beauty and her hold on his heart.
