Cosmopolitan
Vincent Delerm (avec Irène Jacob) Lyrics

Des horoscopes et puis des tests
The magazines you left behind in the apartment are filled with quizzes, horoscopes, and diet tips.

Supplément minceur les bons plans

Nothing else has been left behind reflecting your existence in this apartment.

La question avez-vous déjà
The quizzes ask personal questions, such as if you have ever hurt your partner before.

These quizzes challenge you to reflect on your past actions and their impact on your relationships.

A obtenu la réponse a

En faisant des miettes de Savane
Eating pieces of Savane cake as a distraction.

Sitting on a velvet couch, the singer spends their evenings reading.

Je relis Cosmopolitan

Scorpion malgré ses beaux discours
One of the horoscopes reveals that Scorpios may not be as truthful as they appear, despite their charming ways.

Additionally, the horoscope advises women to avoid seeking the perfect man, as it may not be necessary for a fulfilling relationship.

C'est une période difficile pour
The horoscope reminds women born in the second decade of the Scorpio star sign that they may be going through a tough time right now.

Les natives du deuxième décan
These particular Scorpios are referred to as the 'natives of the second decan' or second ten-day period in the Scorpio horoscope calendar.

Le père de famille idéal
Another article spotlights famous French actors who personify the 'ideal' family man, including Jean Reno, Alain Chabat, and Jean-Hugues Anglade.

Avec un ancien partenaire

Je ne suis pas tout à fait d'accord
The singer hints they may not fully agree with the quiz's answer options or may have their own struggles with this topic.
