Charleston
Tarmac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tout ça je reste un peu
Pour essayer si je peux pour ne rien faire mais toujours mieux en profondeur et sans être hors-jeu
Pour tout ça je reste un peu
Un entre-deux délicieux un entrechat silencieux et pour exagérer si je veux pour tout ça je reste un
Peu
Un charleston à deux ou des claquettes en amoureux qu™un tour du monde puisse nous faire vieux
Pour tout ça je reste un peu.
The lyrics to Tarmac's song Charleston depict a yearning for a long-lasting love and partnership that can withstand the test of time. The idea of a "charleston à deux" (charleston for two) represents a dance, suggesting that the relationship is meant to move and flow in harmony. The line "où nos genoux seraient amoureux" (where our knees would be in love) adds a sense of playfulness to the lyrics, describing the beauty of affectionate body language during a dance.
The lyricist expresses a hope that even as they grow old, they will still be able to travel the world together, experiencing all that life has to offer. The repetition of the phrase "pour tout ça je reste un peu" (for all that, I stay a little longer) highlights the determination to make the relationship work and to pursue a deep level of understanding and connection with their partner. There is also an emphasis on the importance of finding balance between being present and productive, but not forgetting to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
Overall, the lyrics to Charleston speak to the timeless desire for true love and companionship, with a focus on the willingness to work towards it and to appreciate the small moments along the way.
