Grammar:
-
Regardez-moi sourire Comme une rose au vent
➔ Infinitive after a verb of perception; Simile using 'comme'
➔ "Regardez-moi sourire" uses the infinitive "sourire" after the verb of perception "regardez". "Comme une rose au vent" creates a simile, comparing the smile to a rose in the wind using "comme".
-
D'être vivante et reine Dans mon monde innocent
➔ Use of the infinitive "d'être" after a preposition; Adjectives used to describe a state of being.
➔ The phrase uses "d'être" (to be) in an infinitive form after a preposition implied by the previous lines. The adjectives "vivante" (alive) and "reine" (queen) describe the desired state of being. "Innocent" is describing the world.
-
À l'amour qui me tend Ses bras et ses soupirs Qui me chauffent le sang
➔ Relative pronoun "qui"; Use of a verb to express an emotional or physical effect.
➔ "Qui" is a relative pronoun referring back to "l'amour". "Qui me chauffent le sang" uses "chauffent" (warm) to metaphorically describe the effect love has on the singer, warming her blood.
-
Quand je suis vulnérable Et que personne n'entend La grandeur de l'horreur Qui gronde et qui méprend
➔ Subordinating conjunction "quand"; Negative expression "personne ne"; Relative pronoun "qui" in a parallel structure
➔ "Quand" introduces a subordinate clause indicating time. "Personne ne" means "no one" and requires the "ne" before the verb. "Qui gronde et qui méprend" uses "qui" twice to connect two verbs to the noun "grandeur de l'horreur" in a parallel structure.
-
L'amour en bandoulière Comme un cadeau volé
➔ Figurative language; Simile using 'comme'
➔ "L'amour en bandoulière" is a metaphorical expression, meaning love is worn as something carried across the shoulder (like a bag). "Comme un cadeau volé" uses the word 'comme' to create a simile, comparing love to a stolen gift.
-
Pour me donner l'accueil L'écoute et le sursis Me donner la douceur Me donner du répit
➔ Repetition for emphasis; Use of infinitives implied before 'pour'
➔ The repetition of "Me donner..." emphasizes the need for self-care. While the lines begin without an explicit verb like "Je veux" or "Je souhaite," the implication is that the singer wants these things for herself. "Pour" implies purpose, with "me donner" acting as the implied infinitive.
