Hop onto the Carrousel and hold tight, because Amir (from India) and the enchanting Indila spin us through the dizzying rush of first love. The singer feels a volcano in his veins, his heart bouncing “en aller-retour” (back and forth) as passion drags him into a whirl of joy and fear. Every lyric paints the ride: blazing attraction, delicate vulnerability, and the thrilling risk of giving someone a "ticket" to your most guarded emotions.
Like a fairground ride that is equal parts magic and vertigo, the song celebrates how love can be the most beautiful blow life deals: breathtaking, a little dangerous, yet impossible to resist. Amid the swirling motion he pleads to be cherished “until the last breath,” convinced that inside this carousel he has finally found l’essentiel—the very essence of life and love.
