- Vous Lyrics[To romance you, shall I use the "tu" or the "vous" ? Or shall I just say "you" like the English do?]
Est-il bien nécessaire
de me dire vous plutôt que tu,
si c'est pour par derrière
me botter le cul ?
Là-bas en Angleterre
ils se disent tous "you",
c'est plus clair,
de Toto, Tony Blair, à Lizarazu.
"Tout est boue sur la terre",
dit l'hippopotame en tutu,
au lit comme à la guerre
on est tout poilus !
C'est la faute à Voltaire
m'a dit ce cocu de cocker
s'il te faut des barrières
pour me croquer crue.
Tu c'est trop tralalère
vous un tantinet statutaire
alors autant se taire
ou se sauter nus.
Est-il bien nécessaire
de te dire vous plutôt que tu ?
Est-ce pour qu'au nom du père
du coup je vous tue ?
...
"Tout est boue sur la terre",
dit l'hippopotame en tutu,
as-tu vu l'univers
quand il éternue ?
Tu c'est trop tralalère
vous un tantinet pète-au-cul
saucisson, serpillières
et chapeaux pointus...

When we try to piece together the story behind the words, Camille's 'Vous' is a song that questions the use of the formal 'vous' over the informal 'tu' in French, thus confronting both the societal norms and the personal ties. The playful lyrics reveal the difficulty of understanding people's communication and opinions through the use of metaphors, such as 'a hippopotamus in a tutu' and 'snakes singing sweet words', which are difficult to interpret. The song leans heavily on social commentary, introspection, happiness, love, and even a bit of sorrow. Besides, It highlights the communication and intimacy, culture differences, and the absurdity of social norms. Some of the lyrics do contain concepts and vocabulary that would be inappropriate for very young listeners, namely the allusions to nudity and adult relationships, but the overall intensity of the content does not go over the limit and there are no scenes of violence or drug use, which are also not explicit.
