Key Grammar Structures
-
Y a pas de saison pour que vive la musique
➔ Subjunctive mood after 'pour que'
➔ The phrase "pour que" (so that) is followed by the subjunctive mood because it expresses a purpose or a desired outcome. The verb "vive" is the subjunctive form of "vivre" (to live).
-
Tu dis que la vie qu'on t'a donnée est faite pour ça
➔ Relative clause with a relative pronoun omitted (que)
➔ The relative pronoun "que" is omitted in the relative clause "la vie qu'on t'a donnée". The full clause would be "la vie que l'on t'a donnée".
-
Ce rythme qui t'entraîne jusqu'au bout de la nuit
➔ Relative Clause introduced by "qui"
➔ "qui" acts as the subject in the relative clause. It refers back to "Ce rythme" (This rhythm).
-
Tu danses le monde musique americaine
➔ Ellipsis - Omission of a word (implied: la musique)
➔ The sentence probably means "Tu danses la musique du monde américain" but "la musique du" has been reduced. This is common in informal speech and lyrics.
-
Si ce soir il fait chaud, C'est qu'on monte nos mains vers le point le plus haut
➔ "C'est que" emphasizing the reason
➔ "C'est que" is used to emphasize the reason for something. It's like saying "It's because..." rather than just "because...". It highlights the causal relationship.
-
Une musique sans accord majeur c'est une piste sans danseurs
➔ Impersonal construction "c'est" (it is) to define
➔ "c'est" (it is) is used to give a definition. Here, it defines what a music without a major chord is like: a dance floor without dancers.
-
Mais si tu ranges dans ces moments -à dans un placard tes idées noires
➔ Conditional sentence with 'si' + present indicative, implying a probable condition.
➔ The use of 'si' followed by the present indicative 'ranges' suggests a condition that is likely or possible to happen. The following clause will show the consequence of fulfilling this condition. 'Dans ces moments-là' are an adverbial phrases.
