Mon Truc En Plumes

Jeanmaire Zizi's song 'Mon truc en plumes' is a playful and enchanting ode to the allure and mystique of feathers. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of feathers as symbols of elegance, sensuality, and a touch of the exotic. The repeated phrase 'Mon truc en plumes' (My feather thing) suggests a personal and unique charm that the singer possesses, something that is both captivating and untouchable. The feathers are described as being from birds and animals, adding a layer of natural beauty and wildness to the imagery.

The song's lyrics also delve into the physical and emotional sensations that these feathers evoke. Phrases like 'Ça fouette le sang' (It whips the blood) and 'Ça vous caresse avec ivresse' (It caresses you with intoxication) highlight the intense and almost magical effect that the feathers have on those who encounter them. This suggests a deeper metaphor for the singer's own allure and the intoxicating effect she has on others. The feathers are not just decorative; they are an extension of her persona, something that can make people dream but is also sacred and not to be touched.

Additionally, the song touches on themes of performance and seduction. The singer mentions living off her feathers and pluming the pavement, indicating a life of performance and perhaps a hint of the burlesque. The reference to 'au clair de la lune' (by the light of the moon) adds a romantic and somewhat mysterious element to the narrative. The invitation to 'Viens mon brigand, dormir dedans' (Come my rogue, sleep inside) and 'J'vais t'faire danser' (I'll make you dance) further emphasizes the seductive and inviting nature of her 'feather thing,' making it clear that this is an experience to be savored and enjoyed, but also respected.
