La Noyée Lyrics

Tu t'en vas à la dérive
Sur la rivière du souvenir
Et moi, courant sur la rive,
Je te crie de revenir
Mais, lentement, tu t'éloignes
Et dans ma course éperdue,
Peu à peu, je te regagne
Un peu de terrain perdu.

De temps en temps, tu t'enfonces
Dans le liquide mouvant
Ou bien, frôlant quelques ronces,
Tu hésites et tu m'attends
En te cachant la figure
Dans ta robe retroussée,
De peur que ne te défigurent
Et la honte et les regrets.

Tu n'es plus qu'une pauvre épave,
Chienne crevée au fil de l'eau
Mais je reste ton esclave
Et plonge dans le ruisseau
Quand le souvenir s'arrête
Et l'océan de l'oubli,
Brisant nos coeurs et nos têtes,
A jamais, nous réunit

i dont really know the meaning...but here is the english lyric

The Drowned Woman

You drift On the river of memory and I run on the riverbank I call for you to return But, slowly you move away And in my frantic run Little by little, you return A little lost ground

From time to time, you instil yourself In the moving water or sometimes brushing a blackberry (tree) you hesitate and wait for me While you hide your face In your rolled-up dress For fear that you are disfigured And the shame and the regrets

You are nothing more than a poor wreck bitch floating on the water But I remain your slave And dive into the stream When the memory stops itself And the ocean of forgetfulness Breaks our hearts and our heads Forever, we reunite

Cover art for La Noyée lyrics by Carla Bruni

This song is a metaphor for fading memories. The person thinks about his former love, and how the memories fade away. This is the image of the woman drowning in the river; the woman stands for the memories, the river for the time that separates them, and drives them apart. She drowns in the time that has passed, until finally everything faded away
