Cheryl Cole – Promise This Lyrics 15 years ago
Does anyone yet know what the song is truly about... my take on it is:-

Alouette..uette..uette
-> Skylark..lark..lark ("-uette" is the last part of "alouette")

Déployer l'aile
-> Spead your wings

Plumerai les ailes
-> Pluck your wings

In the English part she mentions, "Before I pluck your wings- cover me, please spread your wings- cover me" at first I thought she's was asking someone to settle down with her- and plucking wings would be a way of proving he won't fly off with someone else.

However she's making constant reference to death; "die before I wake", "By a thread we're hanging on", "On your knees you pray for me".. maybe it's the death of a relationship, which kind of makes sense.

I do believe it may have been inspired by the French nursery rhyme called Alouette, which is a song about plucking a skylark of it's feathers (so they can cook and eat it).
