Ah ! Si j'avais un franc cinquante
Vian Boris Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't worry I'm not looking at you
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
I know it drives you crazy
When I pretend you don't exist
When I'd like to lean in close
And run my hands against your lips

Though we haven't even spoken
Still I sense there's a rapport
So whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
I know you see me see you
As you see me walk on past
When there's nothing more I'd like to do
Then come in close and hear you laugh
Though we haven't even spoken
Still I sense there's a rapport
So whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Yea whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home

Hmm whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vian Boris's song "Ah ! Si j'avais un franc cinquante" are about a person who is attracted to someone but is pretending not to notice them. The singer acknowledges the beauty of the person, but keeps their distance by saying "don't worry I'm not looking at you." However, the singer then expresses a desire to get to know the person better and asks them to whisper their number so that they can call them later.

The lyrics convey a sense of longing and attraction, as well as a reluctance to act on those feelings. The singer seems to be struggling with their own emotions and trying to maintain a cool, detached demeanor. The repetition of the phrase "whisper me your number, I'll call you up at home" reinforces this tension between wanting to make a connection and trying to keep distance.
