Labello
Vianney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Auparavant que depuis chez moi
Mais sur les Champs Elysées
Tout dépend ce que l'on en fait
Il y avait des types qui vendaient des vins chauds
A d'autres types qui se pelaient les os
Parmi les chant de noël il y eut
Un parfum de fleur, un frisson un début
Et comme le froid fait bien les choses
Avant toi il fallait que j'ose
Labello
La belle, la belle aubaine
Ce labello
Labello, Labello, Labello sur tes lèvres
Des centaines de chinois
Promenant avec des caméras
Mais sur ces Champs Elysées
Il n'y a que toi que je voyais
Et j'entendais des types criant "Aux marrons chauds"
Quand d'autres types recherchaient un métro
Si c'est noël dans la rue
Dans mes bras mon cadeau ne bouge plus
Comme le froid te fait les joues roses
Contre moi je veux que tu oses
Labello
La belle, la belle aubaine
Ce labello
Labello, Labello, Labello sur tes lèvres
Labello
La belle, la belle aubaine
Ce labello
Labello, Labello, Labello
Labello, Labello, Labello
Labello, Labello, Labello sur tes lèvres
In Vianney's song "Labello," the singer talks about his experience on the Champs-Elysées during Christmas time. He initially couldn't stand the cold weather, but being on the famous Parisian avenue made him appreciate it more. He saw people selling hot wine and others shivering in the cold. Amidst the Christmas music, he smelled a flower and felt a shiver which prompted him to take a chance on love. He had felt the need to take risks to find love and the cold weather seemed to be the perfect catalyst.
The mention of Labello comes in during the chorus. The labello is on his lover's lips and is a symbol of their intimacy. Despite the crowds and the bustling energy of the avenue, the singer can only see his lover amidst them all. The scent of roasted chestnuts and the sound of people looking for a metro are overshadowed by the warmth of his loved one's presence. The cold weather and Christmas festivities create the perfect atmosphere for a romantic encounter.
Overall, the song is about taking chances and finding love in unexpected places. It's a tribute to Christmas time in Paris and the Champs-Elysées, where the crowds mix with the romance to create a unique atmosphere.
