I met her in Geneva

She tells me about her dream life

About the chalet, the boarding school

Vacations in Megève

Sure

She was a good student

Parents in cosmetics

In the lipstick business

She speaks French, German

Italian, English

In winter she bobsleds

In summer she surfs in Anglet

She knows Aspen, Bamiyan

And the Mövenpick

Goes off-piste

And does Nordic combined

Otherwise it's hypokhâgne, khâgne

Lots of brawling

Training with the Legion

In the woods of Balagne

She's forbidden

To drink champagne

Because at any moment

The orga can tell her

You gotta croak

I've got a date with her at L'Usine

A club, grab my taxi

Near Caroline Street

I hop out, there's reggae

Ragga, rock

I grope like a blind guy

At Duroc station

There's no tension

I only see people dancing

The music's live

But it feels like soundchecks

Guys in suits

Talk to locals

Plainclothes cops

Who quietly hold court

She's at the bar

With a grenadine diabolo

There's tension

It's not the Cajoline ad

A guy lifts his hand

Toward her face and

When I yelled

Watch out

The director said Cut

It's

Cinema for the blind

There's tension

And action

Love, chases

And explosions

Thanks to the impresario

She got a script

Called The Woman from Rio

Without a single scene in Rio

A remake of

The Man from Rio

With cigarillo-toting brutes

Shot in studio

But she pulls it off brilliantly

If the edit's good

The young actress will be bankable

The actor might be

A mega-star like Clark Gable

Playing King Arthur

In the Knights

Of the

Searching for the Grail

In Big Apple's boroughs

Under the spotlights and the projectors

Near Malakoff

They're face to face

But in fact

It's not Face Off

Since there's not much

There won't be

Any molotov cocktail

Or sound recording

The prod chose a voice-over

None of the techs

Went to La Fémis

And the dialog writer only worked

On The Artist

We realize we're

Hong Kong stars

Hoping to see ourselves

On Hollywood Boulevard

It's

Cinema for the blind

There's tension

And action

Love, chases

And explosions

SONG MEANING

Imagine slipping on 3-D glasses and winding up inside a kaleidoscope of ski resorts, fancy languages, red-carpet clubs, and undercover cops. That is the ride MC Solaar offers in “Cinéma”, where the narrator meets a dazzling jet-setter who seems to live life as one big blockbuster. From bobsleigh runs in winter to reggae beats in a Geneva nightclub, every scene feels larger than life… until the director suddenly yells “Coupez !”. In that instant the glamour freezes, revealing that the whole adventure is just cinéma pour les aveugles — a movie for the blind, a spectacle nobody can truly see.

Behind the playful name-dropping and wink-wink film references, Solaar pokes fun at the entertainment industry’s smoke-and-mirrors. The song flips between real-world grit and movie-set fantasy, showing how easy it is to get lost in scripted perfection while ignoring what is authentic. With witty rhymes and rapid-fire pop-culture nods, “Cinéma” invites listeners to question the glitter, spot the cut-scenes, and decide whether they want to be part of the audience or step out of the frame entirely.
