Les Matins de Paris
Teki Latex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'ai des frissons quand sonne le téléphone
L'émission sur la télé résonne
J'allume une cigarette et m'étonne
De me sentir bien dans mes westones
Les piétons marchent sans regarder
Les pigeons discutent sur les pavés
Ton visage ne veut pas s'effacer
(Refrain) (Lio)
Les matins de Paris
Me chuchotent en secret
Tendre mélodie
Je n't'oublierais jamais
(Teki Latex)
Sur la table une bouteille de whisky
Me maintient éveillé dans mon lit
Le silence dans les rues de Paris
Me rapelle l'histoire de notre vie
Je ne suis pas comme les autres garçons
Mon ennui ressemble à une prison
Laisse tomber ces masques à l'horizon
Je t'oublierais grâce à mes chansons
(Refrain) (Lio)
Les matins de Paris
Me chuchotent en secret
Tendre mélodie
Je n't'oublierais jamais
(Teki Latex)
J'ai des frissons quand ça me téléphone
L'émission sur la télé résonne
J'allume une cigarette et m'étonne
De me sentir bien dans mes westones
(Refrain) (Lio)
Les matins de Paris
Me chuchotent en secret
Tendre mélodie
Je n't'oublierais jamais
(Refrain) (Lio)
Les matins de Paris
Me chuchotent en secret
Tendre mélodie
Je n't'oublierais jamais
The song "Les Matins de Paris" by Teki Latex featuring Lio is a nostalgic reflection on the beautiful city of Paris and a lost love. The song is largely in French, with some parts in English, and is a beautiful tribute to the city that Teki Latex and Lio love. The song starts with Teki's internal monologue as he mentions feeling a chill when the phone rings and the television program's sound resonating with him. He lights a cigarette and feels good in his westones, which is a reference to the famous Westone guitar.
The verse that follows highlights the hustle and bustle of Paris, where pedestrians are walking without looking at the road and the pigeons are chatting on the pavement. Despite these distractions, Teki cannot forget the face of his lost love. He knows he will never forget her. The chorus, sung by Lio, talks about how the mornings in Paris whisper to Teki and remind him of their beautiful love. He will never forget their tender melody.
The next verse talks about how a bottle of whiskey is keeping Teki awake, and the silence of Paris' streets reminds him of his lost love. He feels trapped in his boredom, and his only escape is through his music. Teki believes that he will forget about his lost love by writing songs about her.
Overall, the song is a love letter to the city of Paris and a lost love, with powerful and emotive lyrics. Teki's love for the city is evident in his poetic depiction of the streets, and his heartbreak is palpable in his words. The song represents Teki's ability as an artist to weave together emotions and imagery in a spellbinding way.
