Paris Sera Toujours Paris is Zazâs joyful revival of a 1939 classic that celebrates the cityâs unbreakable spirit during dark times. The lyrics paint wartime scenes: windows criss-crossed with tape, streetlights dimmed, statues swaddled in sandbags, and citizens huddling in cellars while sirens wail. Rations, curfews, and even a ban on jazz try to dampen morale, yet Paris keeps its charm alive with humor, courage, and a flair for effortless elegance.
Despite blackouts and tightened belts, the song insists that âParis will always be Paris.â Each restriction only highlights the cityâs inner glow: less lighting makes bravery shine brighter, simpler fashions make grace stand out, and fewer luxuries make every smile feel richer. Zaz turns this message into a lively anthem, reminding listeners that true beauty and joie de vivre cannot be dimmed by hardship. Paris, like the human spirit, endures and dazzles no matter how deep the darkness.
