Tu Me Corresponds Lyrics in English Francis Cabrel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Me Corresponds by Francis Cabrel from French to English.

Under the moon a few

Of my thoughts come undone

They slip away, they drape themselves

In their seasonal coats

I picture them ending

Their run at your balcony's edge

We ought to correspond

Since you match me

What becomes of my poems

When they hit the horizon

Where do all those cards go

That unpin from my walls

Some come back to me

A bit more troubled than reason

We ought to correspond

Since you match me

If I knew how to circle

Around the Earth

If I knew how to do it

If I had that gift

I'd press myself

Against your iron shutters

I'd stay there, while I'm at it

For good

On the current that guides them

All my thoughts drift away

I can't believe they get lost

Before they find your home

I assume they light up

Every lamp in your living room

We ought to correspond

Since you match me

I thought I kept in check

My whole parade of desires

But I can see that in turn

Each of them runs off

In long bursts of petals

That leave for their finest role

To wind around your shoulders

Like everything I write

We ought to correspond

If I could turn

Around the Earth

If I knew how to do it

If I had that gift

I'd press myself

Against your iron shutters

I'd stay there, while I'm at it

For good

Under the moon a few

Of my thoughts come undone

They rise and my dream

Far off blends with your lips

What luck, when I think of it

I'm sure it dances on your brow

We ought to correspond

Since you match me

We ought to correspond

Since you match me

We ought to correspond

Since you match me

SONG MEANING

Imagine your thoughts turning into paper birds that take off under the moonlight and glide straight to the window of someone you love. That is the playful, dream-like mood of Tu Me Corresponds by French troubadour Francis Cabrel. The singer pictures his poems, worries and wishes sneaking out of his mind at night, wrapping themselves in seasonal coats, then landing softly on the balcony of the woman who corresponds to him in every sense. Even when distance keeps them apart, he trusts that his words will light up her living room, swirl around her shoulders like flower petals and start a secret dance on her forehead.

Behind the charming images is a simple, universal feeling: an irresistible need to connect. Cabrel admits he cannot fully control his desires; each one escapes in search of her. He fantasizes about having the power to orbit the Earth, press himself against her iron shutters and stay there for good. The song becomes a tender ode to romantic correspondence, reminding us that when two souls truly match, no border—physical or emotional—can stop their letters, melodies or dreams from finding their way.
