Sur Les Épaules De Mon Père Lyrics in English Angelina
Repère is a versatile French word that can mean a landmark, a point of reference, or even a haven. It's more nuanced than a simple
"Sur les épaules de mon père" is a duet between Angelina and Patrick Fiori about the simple, powerful feeling of being carried on a parent's shoulders as a child.
In the first verses, the narrator remembers being small, riding up high, seeing the whole village and its lights from a new vantage point. Up there, everything feels safe: it's a refuge, a landmark, a place to feel like a bird gliding above the crowd.
The song then turns: the child grows up, plants their own feet on the ground, and sings those same words back to their father, inviting him to dance and asking him to spin them around the way he once carried them. The final verses return to the opening image, closing the circle between a father's shoulders and the child who never really forgets what it felt like to be up there.
