Zazie's mother was an architect and her father a music teacher. Her songs range from upbeat rock or pop songs to languid downtempo tunes and are characterised by the wit of their lyrics based on puns, alliterations, homophones and double-entendres.
Zazie debuted in 1992 with the album "Je Tu Ils" and the single "Sucré salé".
In 1995, she released her sophomore album Zen, which was co-written and co-produced with Vincent-Marie Bouvot. It included the singles "Zen" and "Homme Sweet Homme". Her 1996 single "Un point c'est toi" from the same album was discussed on Canada's MuchMusic TV program Too Much 4 Much due to its controversial content. Ultimately, the discussion panel deemed the video okay for audiences. In the video, a group of four smitten women, including Zazie, follow a pair of men down to a lake. There, the two men strip off their clothes and swim in the water. Zazie fantasizes about undressing one of the men and kissing him. To shock of the women, however, the two men kiss each other.
In 1997, Pascal Obispo and Zazie released the single "Les Meilleurs Ennemis".
Her 1998 album Made in Love was co-produced by Ali Staton, Pierre Jaconelli, and herself. The album photos were taken by fashion designer Jean-Baptiste Mondino. The songs "Ça Fait Mal Et Ça Fait Rien", "Tous des anges", and "Tout Le Monde" were released as singles. This album was followed by a live album, Made in Live, the next year. In 1999 she also wrote a song for Jane Birkin in Jane Birkin's album .
In 2001, Zazie dueted with Axel Bauer on the single "A Ma Place". It was her most successful single in France, reaching number four on the French charts.
Zazie once again addressed gay content on her 2002 single "Adam et Yves" from her 2001 album La Zizanie. This album was produced solely by Pierre Jaconelli. Other singles included "Rue de la paix" and "Danse avec les loops". In 2003, she released another live album, Ze Live.
Her 2004 album Rodéo was co-produced and co-written with Jean-Pierre Pilot and Philippe Paradis. A short film "Rodéo indien" was made using songs from the album as a soundtrack. Zazie played the role of an Indian woman who leaves her cheating husband. She followed this album up with a live album, Rodéo Tour in 2006.
In 2007 her sixth studio album "Totem" was released and debuted at number 1. The second single (but first commercially released) was "Je Suis Un Homme" which became Zazie's first solo top ten hit in France. In Winter 2008 a best of album "Zest of Zazie" was released which as well as past hits contained two new songs "Fm Air" and "Un peu beaucoup" and live recordings.
Lola Majeure
Zazie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dors, de moi je n'ai plus peur
J'ai goûté le bonheur
En Lola majeure
Dors, et va-t'en voir ailleurs
A d'autres raconter mes malheurs
Tu n'es plus à la hauteur
Dès lors, je peux bien te laisser
Dehors, puisqu'au fond j'ai trouvé
De l'or tout à l'intérieur
En Lola majeure
Dors, ma peine, ma douleur
Tu as perdu de ta couleur
La seule qui porte bonheur
C'est Lola majeure
Dès lors, légère, je m'envole
Mon âme ne touche plus le sol
Et plane en apesanteur
Sur Lola majeure
Oh dors, mon ange, ma douceur
En toi, ce qu'il y a de meilleur
En nous, fait battre mon cœur
En Lola majeure
Tu fais battre mon cœur
En Lola majeure
The lyrics to Zazie's song Lola Majeure are about finding happiness in oneself and leaving behind the pain and hurt caused by a previous relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase "dors" which means "sleep" in English, but in the context of the song it means to let go of the emotions that are keeping one awake at night. Zazie sings about how she no longer fears herself, and how she has tasted happiness in Lola Majeure, which could either be a person or a state of being.
The song also talks about moving on from the past relationship and not looking back. Zazie tells her ex to go and tell her stories of misfortune to others, because he is no longer good enough for Lola Majeure. She has found something precious inside herself, and now her heart only beats for Lola Majeure. The song ends on a hopeful note, with Zazie acknowledging the good that her ex brought into her life but ultimately choosing to move on and find happiness within herself.

@jimmyj1969 H Zazie σχεδον παντα παίζει με τις λεξεις στους στιχους της και αυτό δεν μπορει πάντα να αποδοθει. Διάλεξα το ενηλικη Λολα με την σκεψη ότι είναι μια ευχή δηλαδη να μεγαλώσει η Λολα να είναι υγιης και να ενηλικιωθεί. Μαλλον τα καταφέρνει αφού μας έκανε να συζητάμε τι εννοει με το "Lola majeure"!

Το λογοπαίγνιο των στίχων δύσκολα αποδίδεται στα ελληνικά: Lo-La majeure (αναφορά στην κόρη της Ζαζί, Λόλα και στη νότα Λα ματζόρε, δηλ. τη μουσική γενικά). Πιο σωστή απόδοση ίσως να 'ταν "η Λόλα η τρανή / η σπουδαία" -και πάλι χωρίς το διπλό νόημα του πρωτοτύπου.
