Regarde

Kinito's song 'Regarde' is a heartfelt yet rebellious love confession. The lyrics reveal a complex relationship where the singer feels misunderstood and unappreciated. Despite this, he continues to express his love and dedication. The song opens with the singer acknowledging that his partner might not appreciate a 'mielleux' (syrupy) love song, but he proceeds anyway, stringing together simple phrases to convey his feelings.

The refrain is a powerful declaration of his indifference to societal norms and expectations. Phrases like 'Rien à perdre, rien à cirer' (Nothing to lose, nothing to care about) and 'Rien à foutre, rien à glander' (Nothing to do, nothing to waste time on) emphasize his carefree attitude. Yet, he implores his partner to 'Regarde c' que j' fais pour toi' (Look at what I'm doing for you), highlighting his efforts and sacrifices.

The song also touches on the struggles and conflicts within the relationship. The singer admits to feeling frustrated and making efforts despite his fears. He asks for forgiveness for expressing his love in a way that might not be conventional, but insists that his actions are driven by genuine affection. The repeated refrain underscores his commitment and the lengths he is willing to go to for his partner, even if it means being seen as foolish or misunderstood.

'Kinito' blends a raw, unfiltered emotional expression with a rebellious spirit, making 'Regarde' a unique love song that challenges traditional romantic norms while still conveying deep affection and dedication.
