Marjolaine
Yeah I wrote for you
So many words
So many poems
that I won't read to you
You my queen, Marjolaine
Above all don't forget it
Whatever our joys
our sorrows
even the ones nobody sees
Marjolaine
The human soul
has its flaws, its fights
Be yourself, Marjolaine
Life's made for that
Be the others
too all the same
there's someone thinking of you
who's a little out of breath
hear my heart beating
Marjolaine
I'm just saying it like that
like an ode
or an I love you
I'm handing you some of me
The big adventure, Marjolaine
In the night I see it
I see it with no laws or chains
far away yet right here
it's also flames
dilemmas
without rhyme or reason
lightning, Marjolaine
in a blazing sky
that cries, that breaks loose
that sometimes forgets who's who
My love, Marjolaine
drifts away but stays there
time doesn't wait for us
it flows, that's how it is
we're millions, I think
billions, that's how it is
the sky, though, will wait for us
maybe, maybe not
that's how it is
Marjolaine
there are ships
vessels, Marjolaine
that could whisk us away
that could, Marjolaine
probably give us
a kingdom, an estate
maybe even an empire
For you, my queen, Marjolaine
I still want to say
that's where I'm taking you
that I wanna laugh with you
Marjolaine
Yeah I wrote for you
so many words, so many poems
that I won't read to you
Marjolaine
we reach the other shore
my motto, my emblem
yeah you're the one I wanna follow
My love, Marjolaine
on an island we'll build
a grand bohemian life
still waiting to be discovered

SONG MEANING

Gaëtan Roussel’s “Marjolaine” feels like a handwritten letter that has burst into song. Addressing Marjolaine as both queen and travel companion, the singer pours out pages of poems he will never read aloud, reminding her to stay true to herself through every joy and hidden sorrow. His heartbeat becomes a drum of devotion while he paints life as a wild adventure: a night sky flashing with lightning, flames, and dilemmas, where love can drift away yet still remain close.

At its heart, the track is an invitation to escape the ordinary and dream big together. Roussel imagines secret ships ready to whisk them toward new horizons, a bohemian island to build from scratch, and a kingdom made of laughter rather than gold. Even as time keeps ticking and the universe offers no guarantees, the song urges Marjolaine — and us — to seize the moment, breathe deeply, and trust that someone is always thinking of us when oxygen feels scarce.
