Welcome to Zaho’s bittersweet "Jardin d’Éden" – a song that turns the idea of an earthly paradise on its head. Instead of blooming roses, we find a love that wilts in the shade of disappointment. The narrator admits that the world already feels unfair and colorless, yet being away from her partner steals her oxygen even more. She has chased this love to the ends of the earth, but now there is a wall between her rêves (dreams) and his poèmes (poems). Her refrain "C’est plus la peine" (“It’s no longer worth it”) echoes like a painful mantra, showing how unreturned affection drains her hope.
In vivid images, Zaho reveals a fragile heart of porcelain hiding behind a confident exterior. She compares her efforts to pull the sword Excalibur – an epic attempt to make him finally say je t’aime, yet the miracle never happens. Eden, symbol of perfect love and harmony, simply “does not exist” for them. The result is a raw confession: she loves him deeply while he loves her à peine (barely). Listeners are invited into a garden of yearning where vulnerability meets courage, and where walking away becomes the only way to survive.
