Mrs Roy
Tryo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le combat des femmes
Roy, les canons fument
Les puissants se pâment
Mrs, voix de la paix
Dénoncera la fable
Elle a embrassé les lèvres de l’intouchable
Enraye la machine
Indienne en sari
Arundhati
Balaie les doctrines
Et l’Inde est en vie
Mrs Roy fille du Kerala
Un diamant sur le nez
Roy a deux grands yeux
Qu’elle aime promener
Mrs fait monter au ciel
Ceux des puissants
Elle, scandaleusement belle
Défie les géants
Arundhati
Enraye la machine
Indienne en sari
Arundhati
Balaie les doctrines
Et l’Inde est en vie
Mrs Roy offre au monde
Son inspiration
Elle se déchaîne
De ses traditions
Mrs tient dans le creux de ses mains
Le Dieu des petits riens
Arundhati
Enraye la machine
Indienne en sari
Arundhati
Balaie les doctrines
Et l’Inde est en vie
The song "Mrs Roy" by Tryo is an ode to strong and powerful women, specifically two women named Mrs Roy and Arundhati. The lyrics describe the accomplishments and efforts of these women in fighting against powerful entities and standing up for what is right in their respective contexts.
Mrs Roy is depicted as a woman who has taken up the fight for women's rights, as "sous sa plume" (under her pen) she writes about their struggles and takes on the patriarchy. The lyrics suggest that she is a voice of peace and truth in a world full of falsehoods and chaos, and that she has even "embraced the lips of the untouchable" (a reference to the caste system in India) in her fight for the marginalized. The song goes on to describe her beauty and fearlessness, as she challenges the powerful and defies the giants.
Arundhati, on the other hand, is portrayed as a beacon of hope and life for the people of India. The lyrics describe her as wearing a sari and "sweeping away doctrines" (possibly a reference to oppressive governmental policies or cultural norms) to bring the country to life. She is compared to "enraye la machine" (stopping the machine), which could imply stopping the capitalist or industrialist juggernaut that is widely believed to be destroying the planet. Overall, both of these women are presented as powerful and inspiring figures who are fighting against systems of oppression and striving to make the world a better place.
