Canned Candies Lyrics
J'ai perdu mon chien
Reviens
La La La
J'ai perdu mon chien
Reviens
Il me refait le coup
Cours par monts et par vaux
Là où souffle le vent
Distrait par l'appétit
il oublie son propos
il oublie, il oublie
mais cette fois je le vois
Il ramène quelque chose
Reviens
Reviens
Cours par monts et par vaux
Là où souffle le vent
Distrait par l'appétit
il oublie son propos
il oublie, il oublie
mais cette fois je le vois
Il ramène quelque chose

translation: I've lost my dog come back
La La La
I've lost my dog come back
he's gone and done it again running off who knows where off where the wind blows guided by his appetite he's forgotten what his purpose is he's forgotten, he's forgotten but this time I can see him he's bringing something back
I totally love this song! It captures what I like the most about Stereolab. When you read the lyrics in English, it just kind of falls flat, and sounds dull and boring. But when you hear the words sung in French, its sounds incredible. It really opens up the song and makes me think more about the point of what she is saying. Obviously there is more to it than just her dog: "guided by his appetite / he's forgotten what his purpose is" but then, she just ends it on a suggestion of "but this time I can see him /he's bringing something back". And that's it. Nothing else. We don't know what that something is. So then your imagination has to fill in the gaps.
