Les Espaces & Les Sentiments Lyrics in English Vanessa Paradis

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Espaces & Les Sentiments by Vanessa Paradis from French to English.
Locked eyes like a cowboy in summer
I was the river's drunken Amazon
Believe me if you want, I'll stay
Love's like a poor stolen kiss
You carried the forgotten lands on you
Heart beauty, devilish eyes
I loved how you looked at me
Your adventures, that's who you were
I never waited for night
To get drunk on your story
Tell me the oceans
The spaces and the feelings
The spaces and the feelings
From your boots hot sand flew off
Thousand-year voyages, fairy tales
Learn the taste of your silence
Love's finding your whole childhood again
I never waited for night
To get drunk on your story
Tell me the oceans
The spaces and the feelings
The spaces and the feelings
I never waited for night
I never waited for night
Death will crumble who we are
The maps will stay nailed to the ground
My love's memories we're robbed of
Losing reason, such a symbol
I never waited for night
To get drunk on your story
Tell me the oceans
The spaces and the feelings
I never waited for night
To get drunk on your story
Tell me the oceans
The spaces and the feelings
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.
