Un Jour Une Vie
Serge Lama Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Un jour, une vie
Une vie, un jour,
C'est une envie
Qui dure toujours.

On voudrait que ça dure,
On voudrait prolonger
Cette vieille aventure,

Malgré tous les dangers;
On en voudrait encore
Alors qu'on n'en peut plus,
Qu'on vomit dans les ports
Tous les vins qu'on a bus,
Tous les gens qu'on a crus;
L'amour, l'île au trésor,
On en voudrait encore.

Un jour, une vie,
Une vie, un jour,
C'est une envie
Qui dure toujours.
Un jour, une vie
Une vie, un jour,
C'est une envie
Qui dure toujours.

Un jour, une vie,
Une vie, un jour,
C'est une envie
Qui dure toujours.

Un jour, une vie,
Une vie, un jour,

C'est une envie
Qui dure, qui dure

Overall Meaning

The song "Un Jour Une Vie" by Serge Lama expresses the longing for the continuation of life's journey, despite the twists and turns that come along the way. The repetition of the phrase, "Un jour, une vie, une vie, un jour" emphasizes the cyclical nature of life, in which each day marks a new chapter, and each chapter marks a new phase of life. The lyrics go on to describe the desire to extend this adventure, even in the face of danger and exhaustion. The singer admits to the temptation of wanting more, even when one has reached their limit, a sentiment that is further emphasized through the metaphor of vomiting after excessive consumption.

The song touches upon themes of longing, addiction, and the human struggle for more. It highlights the notion that despite the setbacks and hardships of life, we are always seeking more, whether it be love, wealth, or adventure. The final repetition of "qui dure toujours," which means "that lasts forever" in French, suggests that the quest for more is neverending, and that each day marks a new opportunity to continue the journey.
