Song Meaning of “Avant qu’elle parte” by Sexion d’Assaut
This French hiphop song by Sexion d’Assaut speaks of a young man’s heartache and regret at not being able to keep his loved one in his life. He reflects on all the good times they shared together before she left him, and how he wants her back and misses her deeply. He knows that she is now living another life and that whilst he can’t join her, his memories of her will always remain with him. The chorus embodies this sentiment, “Before she left, I wanted to tell her/ So many things, that money can’t buy/ But all these words, will have to remain/ Buried in my heart, with all these souvenirs.” This song evokes intense emotions of separation and longing, and highlights how sometimes we don’t get a chance to say what we feel before it’s too late.
