La Valse des monstres
Yann Tiersen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

Le Vent Du Nord
Dans Les Airs
La Piastre Des Etats
When we speak of marriage, yes that funny
Yes that funny hobby, I wouldn’t say
For if my tender maid would go, I would suffer martyrdom

One day I ask my wife what I will do to-day


What you will do to-Day, you will get the flour out
You will fin a bag at the nearer neighbour lady

I wasn’t already arrived, my wife came and fetch me
My wife came and fetch me with and blow whit a screener
Ah! hurry hurry home, you shall find what to do

Sorry, sorry, sorry my wife, sorry sorry for this time
Sorry sorry for this time, il was my friend dear-Pierre
Who got me to the cabaret, I who didn’t wanted to drink

Ah! it’s to drink, to drink to drink, ah! it’s to drink that we need

Ah! it’s to drink that we need, always the old use
Ah! if somebody could pay the drink, my cold would disappear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Yann Tiersen's song "La valse des monstres" are actually in French, but the excerpt provided is not the correct translation of the original lyrics. In fact, it seems to be a different set of lyrics entirely. Without knowing the context or source of these lyrics, it would be difficult to provide a meaningful interpretation.


Instead, here is a brief overview of the original song's meaning and themes. "La valse des monstres" translates to "The Monsters' Waltz", and is an instrumental piece that features Tiersen's signature accordion sound. The song has a dreamlike, surreal quality to it, with haunting melodies and unexpected chord changes. The overall mood is one of melancholy and introspection.


Tiersen is a French composer and multi-instrumentalist who is known for his work on film soundtracks, including "Amelie" and "Goodbye Lenin!". His music often features elements of traditional Breton folk music, as well as minimalist and experimental styles.


Line by Line Meaning

Le Vent Du Nord
The north wind


Dans Les Airs
In the air


La Piastre Des Etats
The currency of the states


When we speak of marriage, yes that funny
When we talk about getting married, it may seem amusing


Yes that funny hobby, I wouldn't say
Although some may find it amusing, I personally wouldn't describe it that way


For if my tender maid would go, I would suffer martyrdom
If my beloved were to leave me, it would be extremely painful


One day I ask my wife what I will do to-day
One day, I asked my wife what my plans for the day were


What you will do to-Day, you will get the flour out
You will start by getting the flour out


You will fin a bag at the nearer neighbour lady
You will find a bag of flour at our neighbor's house


I wasn't already arrived, my wife came and fetch me
Before I even arrived, my wife came to get me


My wife came and fetch me with and blow whit a screener
She signaled me with a sharp whistle when she arrived


Ah! hurry hurry home, you shall find what to do
Hurry home, there's work to be done


Sorry, sorry, sorry my wife, sorry sorry for this time
I apologize to my wife, I'm sorry for this mistake


Sorry sorry for this time, il was my friend dear-Pierre
I apologize, it was my friend Pierre's fault


Who got me to the cabaret, I who didn't wanted to drink
It was Pierre's idea to go to the bar, even though I didn't want to drink


Ah! it's to drink, to drink to drink, ah! it's to drink that we need
Drinking, drinking, drinking, that's what we need


Ah! it's to drink that we need, always the old use
We always turn to drinking, it's a familiar habit


Ah! if somebody could pay the drink, my cold would disappear
If someone could buy me a drink, my sickness would fade away
