Raphael Lyrics in English Carla Bruni

Carla Bruni turns something as simple as a seven-letter name into pure poetry. In Raphaël she delights in the sound and rhythm of each consonant and vowel, tasting them like drops of honey. The song feels almost whisper-like, as if she is spelling the name in your ear while revealing a man who looks angelic yet hides a mischievous, irresistible charm. By playing with the letters, she shows how language itself can be sensual.

Beyond its playful word-game, the track is a love-soaked portrait of Raphaël Enthoven, Bruni’s real-life muse. Days without him become dull, nights stretch into sleepless longing, and the entire world seems to shrink down to their shared bed where everything glows “in rainbow colors.” The melody is calm and velvety, mirroring the serene wisdom she hears in his deep voice, yet every line brims with the thrill of being entirely captivated by someone. Listening to Raphaël feels like being invited into a private moment of adoration—sweet, intimate, and impossible to forget.
