Chercher le garçon
Taxi Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un soupir lui échappe.
Sur un écran géant,
Ses yeux se ferment.
Cherchez le garçon,
Trouvez son nom,
Cherchez le garçon.
Réveil tragique succède,
A un sommeil sans rêve.
La forme de son corps,
Ne veut rien dire pour moi.
Cherchez le garçon,
Trouvez son nom,
Cherchez le garçon.
D'une bande magnétique,
Un soupir lui échappe.
Sur un écran géant,
Une goutte de sang.
Cherchez le garçon,
Trouvez son nom,
Cherchez le garçon.
The above French lyrics are from the song Cherchez Le Garçon by Taxi Girl. The song translates to "Look for the Boy" in English. The song is a new wave synth-pop classic from the 1980s that speaks of a man who is searching for someone whom he cannot name but needs to find.
The lyrics speak of the character's experiences as he searches for a certain person. He hears a sigh coming from a cassette tape, and his eyes shut as if he's watching a giant screen, but there is no name to go with the image. He wakes up tragically and is without dreams, and he tells us that the shape of the person's body means nothing to him. Then we hear the chorus, urging us to look for the boy and find his name. Finally, we hear about a drop of blood on a giant screen, and once again, the chorus repeats.
