Ça va par deux, youpi, ça va par deux
Ça va par deux, youpi, ça va par deux
Ça va par deux, youpi, ça va par deux

Pour les gourmets et les gourmands
Mange l'entremet au restaurent
Dessert français si délicieux
Les autres c'est vrai sont fabuleux
Enlève la robe qui cache, englobe
Les deux îlots, flottants si haut
Enlève la robe qui cache, englobe
Les deux îlots, grands et si beaux

Ça va par deux

Overall Meaning

In The Carters' song, Summer, the duo sings about a summer spent making love on the beach. The song's opening lines reference Jay-Z and Beyonce's own chemistry ("Right now inside the place to be with the one JAY-Z and Bey") while simultaneously setting the stage for the track's laid back vibe. The slow tempo of the song, paired with lyrics about wanting to "drown in the depth" of each other, create a sense of intimacy and relaxation.


As the song progresses, the two sing about exploring their desires and letting their love "breathe." Beyonce's vocals are particularly stunning, with runs that soar over the mellow beat. About halfway through the song, Jay-Z jumps in with a verse about their summer adventures, which includes some more explicit lyrics about their lovemaking.


The song's last verse is particularly poignant, as Beyonce croons that "love never change, love is universal." It's a simple yet powerful moment that sums up the track's message: two people celebrating the deep connection they share.
