Tatoue-Moi Lyrics in English Mozart L'Opéra Rock

Tatoue-Moi: a daring hymn to forbidden love

Forbidden romance has rarely sounded this playful and provocative. In Tatoue-Moi, the flamboyant narrator sweeps into the night determined to ink his passion onto every inch of his lover’s world. Declaring himself divine, candide, libertine, he slips past sleeping husbands and parades “au nez des braves gens,” ready to shock polite society. Sensual images cascade one after another⁠—tracing tattoos with his lips, kissing hands, sliding beneath sheets, and engraving desires onto gilded walls. The tattoo becomes their secret seal of permanence, a pledge that their accents, appetites, and freedom will outlast gossip and raised eyebrows.

Beneath the heat of seduction beats a cheeky spirit of rebellion. The singer toasts the bourgeois only to mock them, proudly wearing his own “travers” as a banner, and urging his partner to walk arm in arm without fear. Desire here is not merely physical; it is revolutionary, a joyous refusal to bow to convention. By the final chorus, bodies have become canvases, walls turn into diaries, and love reveals itself as a rebellious work of art that vows never to fade.
