Feel like stepping into a cosy Parisian café? "Bonjour Au Revoir" follows a young waitress who spends her days serving coffee and her spare moments chasing melodies. Joyce Jonathan paints the scene of someone who appears ordinary on the surface—apron on, smile ready—but secretly bursts with ambition and song. The multilingual chorus (“Hello, ni hao, hola…”) mirrors the endless stream of customers she greets, highlighting how most interactions are reduced to quick hellos and good-byes.
Yet the track isn’t gloomy; it is full of quiet hope. Joyce reminds us that everyone has a hidden story and a dream they rehearse when no one is watching. The waitress may only sing in the bathroom for now, but her voice—and the optimism of people everywhere—refuses to stay silent. By the last refrain, the song celebrates that spark inside us all: even if life feels like a loop of “bonjour, au revoir,” our untold songs are waiting to be heard.
