Tango
Underschool Element Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Mes amours s'enchaînent,
Se lassent et s'endorment,
Inquiétante rumeur venue de l'automne.
Je revois parfois l'écume dans nos regards intimes,
Jamais rien ne s'efface mais tout s'abîme.
Il était beau le temps où si naïvement
Nous plongions corps et âme
Et brûlions lentement nos passions.
J'ai eu beau faire le choix de ne plus aimer autant,




Je me perds à la recherche des caresses d'antan.

Overall Meaning

hanteur of the song is expressing his observations on the transient nature of love through his personal experiences. The opening line, "Mes amours s'enchaînent, se lassent et s'endorment," translates to "My loves are linked, tire and sleep." Here, the singer suggests that his love affairs are connected, but eventually become exhausted and fade away. He then describes an unsettling feeling that arises in the autumn, as if foreshadowing the end of a relationship. The line "Je revois parfois l'écume dans nos regards intimes, jamais rien ne s'efface mais tout s'abîme" translates to "Sometimes I see the foam in our intimate gazes, nothing ever fades but everything deteriorates." The singer reflects on the memories of love and intimacy, which remain vivid in his mind, yet he acknowledges the impermanence of such feelings.


The choruses of "Tango in 2-3" offer a contrasting perspective to the verses. The lyrics state "Il était beau le temps où si naïvement nous plongions corps et âme, Et brûlions lentement nos passions" translating to "It was beautiful time when we naively plunged ourselves and burned our passions slowly." The singer reminisces about a time in his life where he delved deep into love and desire, with an unflinching fervor. However, the repeated phrase "j'ai eu beau faire le choix de ne plus aimer autant" meaning "I made the choice to not love as much" suggests that the singer has become disillusioned with the notion of intense love and has retreated from it. Near the end of the song, the singer admits to being lost in the search for the affection of a past lover.

Incroyablement beau. Ces paroles sont aussi délectable que l'effluves d'une rose sous le torrent d'une plus d'été. j'éjacule sans cesse.
