Voyov is an artist of the digital age: he grew up with computers and digital music apps, and has made music with computers since the age of twelve. It means exploring and playing with different things in music. In interviews, Voyov has told that he was having a lot of fun while making songs for his first EP. The word ”fun” is indeed in the heart of his music: you can hear it through his songs and see it when he performs live on scene.
He shakes and laughs, a constant movement that makes the audience want to dance as well. Performing live is also his favourite part of making music. And this really can be seen in his shows. On stage he is accompanied with a light installation, his machines in the form of a table, a guitar and trombone, creating this image of him being in his room, playing music and enjoying it to the full.
Papillon
Voyou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jamais lassé de toute ces fleurs
Quand tu t′envoles dans les airs, c'est mon cœur qui se lève
Sous le soleil et le sourire aux lèvres je t′appelle près de moi
Mais rien n'arrête ton voyage, de cœurs en fleurs tu te balades
Et de toutes les fleurs, c'est moi la plus jalouse quand tu te déposes
Sur des millions de roses, papillon, mon cœur souvent se languit de toi
Papillon pa-pillone à vive allure, sous mes yeux
Papillon na-vigue à vue dans des nuées de ciel bleu
Papillon n′a pas le temps de n′aimer qu'une fleur
De pollen, les pétales étalé sur les ailes, tu t′éloignes loin de moi
Si rien n'arrête ton voyage, les cœurs fleurissent sur ton passage
Et de toutes les fleurs, c′est moi la plus jalouse quand tu te déposes
Sur des millions de roses, papillon, mon cœur souvent se languit de toi
Mais bientôt les fleurs se referment
Papillon ne peut plus se poser
Fatigué d'envoyer ses ailes
Au vent fatigué de l′été
Papillon fait donc une escale
Entre mes bras impatientés
Car de toute les fleurs, c'est moi la plus jalouse quand tu te déposes
Sur des millions de roses, papillon mon cœur souvent se languit de toi
The lyrics of Voyou's song "Papillon" seem to be a love letter to a butterfly, using it as a metaphor for a fleeting lover. The song begins with the singer admiring the beauty of the butterfly and how it is never tired of flying and exploring. The singer is enchanted by its graceful flight and its ability to go wherever it wants, but at the same time, they feel somewhat jealous of the other flowers that the butterfly visits. The singer longs for the butterfly's attention and wishes that it could spend more time near them.
As the song progresses, the singer notes that the butterfly is always on the move and doesn't have time to stop and love just one flower. They watch as the butterfly spreads its pollen-covered wings and flies away, leaving them behind once again. However, they hold out hope that the butterfly will eventually return to them, and they eagerly await its arrival.
The final verse of the song sees the butterfly finally coming to a stop and finding solace in the singer's arms. They are both tired from their busy journeys, but they are happy to be together in that moment. The singer declares that they are the most jealous flower of all, but they are also the one that the butterfly returns to.
Overall, "Papillon" is a beautifully written and metaphorical song that captures the fleeting nature of love and the desire for connection, even in the face of an ever-changing world.

Beautiful butterfly
Never tired of all these flowers
When you fly through the air, it's my heart that rises up
Under the sun and with a smile on my lips I call you near me
But nothing stops your journey, from heart to flower you walk around
And of all the flowers, I'm the most jealous when you're settling down.
On millions of roses, butterfly, my heart often yearns for you
Butterfly hovers at high speed, before my eyes
Butterfly sails on sight in clouds of blue sky
Butterfly doesn't have time to love just one flower
Of pollen, the petals spread out on the wings, you move away from me
If nothing stops your journey, hearts bloom in your path.
And of all the flowers, I'm the most jealous when you're settling down.
On millions of roses, butterfly, my heart often yearns for you
But soon the flowers close again
Butterfly can no longer land
Tired of sending his wings
In the tired wind of summer
Butterfly makes a stopover
In my impatient arms
Because of all the flowers, I'm the most jealous when you're settling down.
On millions of roses, butterfly my heart often yearns for you

Today I heard this track on the radio and I went crazy. I am glad I found it because I was late and did not hear who was playing it. Nice now I know. Great work guys, the catchiest thing ever.
