Home / Lyrics Translation / Vanessa Paradis / Les Espaces & Les Sentiments

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Espaces & Les Sentiments by Vanessa Paradis from French to English.

Crossed looks like a cowboy in the summer

I was the Amazon of the intoxicated river

Believe me if you want, I will know how to stay

Love is like a poor stolen kiss

You carried on you the forgotten lands

Beauty of the heart, eyes ablaze

I loved your way of looking at me

Your adventures, that's what you were

I never waited for the evening

To get drunk on your story

Tell me about the oceans

The spaces and the feelings

From your boots, warm sand flew away

Millennial cruises, fairy tales

Learn the taste of your silence

Love is finding all your childhood

I never waited for the evening

To get drunk on your story

Tell me about the oceans

The spaces and the feelings

I never waited for the evening

Death will crumble what we are

The cards will remain nailed to the ground

My love is memories stolen from us

Losing reason like a symbol

I never waited for the evening

To get drunk on your story

Tell me about the oceans

The spaces and the feelings

I never waited for the evening

To get drunk on your story

Tell me about the oceans

The spaces and the feelings

Did you like these lyrics?

SONG MEANING

Les Espaces & Les Sentiments invites listeners on a dreamy road-trip where love, adventure, and memory all blur together.

Vanessa Paradis sings as a fearless wanderer who locks eyes with her partner "like a cowboy in summer" and instantly feels the pull of far-off horizons. Each verse is a postcard: hot sand flying from boots, ancient cruises, fairytale rivers. She never waits for nightfall to be swept away; his stories and their shared silence already leave her light-headed. The chorus—"Raconte-moi les océans, les espaces et les sentiments"—is a plea to keep exploring both the vast outer world and the even wider inner one. Yet beneath the playful escapism lies a bittersweet reminder that time will erode everything except the memories we guard. The song ultimately celebrates the childlike thrill of discovery while accepting that love, like a stolen kiss, is precious because it is fleeting.
