Béquille literally translates to "crutch". It's an interesting and somewhat unexpected word to find in a love song, making it memorable.
In "Tout Le Temps," the singer uses béquille metaphorically to describe their loved one as a source of support and stability, someone who helps them stand tall and navigate life's challenges. It highlights the deep reliance and comfort the singer finds in their partner, portraying them as an essential aid in their life.
Imagine writing a love letter by raiding your bathroom cabinet, fridge and lottery ticket pile. That is exactly what Boulevard des Airs does in “Tout Le Temps.” The singer strings together a playful avalanche of French everyday brands and objects—Carglass windscreen repair, Hépar mineral water, Kiri cheese, even Instagram—to say: you are my everything. Each quirky comparison adds a new shade of affection, showing that real love sneaks into the tiniest corners of daily life, from the band-aid on a blister to the palm-tree stirrer in a White Russian cocktail.
All these zany images circle back to the chorus, a simple promise repeated like a heartbeat: “Tout l’temps… je t’aime autant” (“All the time… I love you just as much”). No matter how fast the clock ticks, the feeling stays unshakable. The result is a feel-good anthem that blends humor with sincerity, reminding us that the grandest declarations can hide in the most ordinary things—turning supermarket shelves and subway waits into a celebration of timeless love.
