Les mots bleus

CHRISTOPHE

YouTube video thumbnail
The music was composed by Christophe, and the lyrics were written by Jean-Michel Jarre. Yes, I know—I thought it was the other way around too! In fact, Jean-Michel Jarre had already collaborated with Christophe on his first album.
Christophe was a big fan of synthesizers and loved experimenting with new sounds. He even considered himself a “sound designer,” carefully crafting his music like a couturier shapes fabric.

“I work like on a dress: at one moment, I sew the hem, at another, the buttons. I add the vocals at the very last moment. There are times when I find my voice. Fatigue resonates. The veiled voice of the evening or the hoarse voice at 4 a.m. after a night of poker.”

Lyrics ▼

Il est six heures au clocher de l'église
Dans le square les fleurs poétisent
Une fille va sortir de la mairie
Comme chaque soir je l'attends
Elle me sourit
Il faudrait que je lui parle
À tout prix
Je lui dirai les mots bleus
Les mots qu'on dit avec les yeux
Parler me semble ridicule
Je m'élance et puis je recule
Devant une phrase inutile
Qui briserait l'instant fragile
D'une rencontre
D'une rencontre

Je lui dirai les mots bleus
Ceux qui rendent les gens heureux
Je l'appellerai sans la nommer
Je suis peut-être démodé
Le vent d'hiver souffle en avril
J'aime le silence immobile
D'une rencontre
D'une rencontre

Il n'y a plus d'horloge, plus de clocher
Dans le square les arbres sont couchés
Je reviens par le train de nuit
Sur le quai je la vois
Qui me sourit
Il faudra bien qu'elle comprenne
À tout prix

Je lui dirai les mots bleus
Les mots qu'on dit avec les yeux
Toutes les excuses que l'on donne
Sont comme les baisers que l'on vole
Il reste une rancœur subtile
Qui gâcherait l'instant fragile
De nos retrouvailles
De nos retrouvailles

Je lui dirai les mots bleus
Ceux qui rendent les gens heureux
Une histoire d'amour sans paroles
N'a plus besoin du protocole
Et tous les longs discours futiles
Terniraient quelque peu le style
De nos retrouvailles
De nos retrouvailles

Je lui dirai les mots bleus
Les mots qu'on dit avec les yeux
Je lui dirai tous les mots bleus
Tous ceux qui rendent les gens heureux
Tous les mots bleus
Tous les mots bleus
