Shooting Star
Tara McDonald feat. Zaho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Zaho!
Tara Mc Donald!

Throw my coin in the wishing well
All my secrets it could tell
Got fear in my heart
But I′m ready to start again
It's a shoot in the dark
All I need is a spark

You are my shooting star
You′re my shooting star
You're my shooting star
You're my shooting star
Danse avec les étoiles

Tara Mc Donald!
Zaho!

Frappe comme un tonnerre mon cœur t′appelle
L′amour est en l'air prédit le ciel
Il serait temps que la chance et le destin s′en mêlent
Et qu'un nouveau vent souffle pour nous donner des ailes

You are my shooting star
You′re my shooting star
Aucun doute ne plane
On brille au milieu des étoiles
Danse avec les étoiles
Danse avec les étoiles
You are my shooting star, star
You are, you are my shooting star, star
You are

J'cours dans un monde qui tourne
Je me sens toute étourdie
Les hasards sont des rendez-vous
J′m'arrête ici j'ai compris
Qu′il pleuve sur ma vie
Je ne la gâcherai plus
Je ne me cacherai plus
Sous d′autres parapluies
Mes blessures ont guéri
Mon cœur est à l'abri
A l′ombre du jour
Pour éclairer mes nuits

You are my...
Pour éclairer mes nuits
You are my...
Coz you are my shooting star
You're my shooting star
Aucun doute ne plane
On brille au milieu des étoiles




You′re my shooting star
Danse avec les étoiles

Overall Meaning

The song "Shooting Star" by Tara McDonald feat. Zaho begins with the artist tossing a coin into a wishing well, hoping that it will reveal her deepest secrets. In the next few lines, she confesses that she has fear in her heart but is ready to start again with just a spark. The chorus then repeats the phrase "You're my shooting star," which is the metaphor for the artist’s hope shining bright and guiding her ahead. The French phrase "Danse avec les étoiles" which means "dance among the stars" has also been used several times in the song to emphasize the brilliance and the atmospheric space in which she finds herself.


As the song continues, Zaho takes over with her vocals, and the song's lyrics shift to love and destiny. The line "Frappe comme un tonnerre mon cœur t′appelle" means "my heart calls you like thunder," emphasizing the strength of her love. She then adds that the time has come for luck and destiny to play their roles and give them wings to fly like a "Shooting Star." The last verse of the song talks about the artist's struggles in life but ends on a hopeful note, stating that she will not hide under any shadow and that her heart is now protected.
