Mademoiselle Juliette Lyrics

Cover art for Mademoiselle Juliette lyrics by Alizée

It references William Shakespeare's play, "Romeo & Juliet", throughout the song. In the first verse, are mentioned a car, the "Alfa Romeo Giulietta", then "Verona" where the action takes place. There is a phrase saying that "the heroine [Juliette] thinks [Shakespeare] abuses her" - it is a wordplay with "heroine abuse". She wants to escape from the writer's plot ASAP.

In the chorus, Juliette cries because she does not know whether she will marry Romeo or not ("Mademoiselle Juliette does not feel like choosing between Montague and Capulet"). All that she wants to do is partying, with champagne and Coke.

In the second verse is the continuation of the first one : Juliette does not like the way her author treats her and wants to be the central character. To her, an Italian tragedy is not what she would like to play, and Shakespeare's death would be the only way to avoid such a dramatic situation towards the end of the play.
