Un, Deux, Trois

Natasha St-Pier's song 'Un, Deux, Trois' is a beautiful ode to the power of belief and imagination. The lyrics invite listeners to embrace a childlike wonder and to believe in the magic that lies within themselves. St-Pier begins by expressing a desire to make someone believe that love is a heavenly gift and that life can be as enchanting as living in an ivory tower where every day feels like Christmas. However, she acknowledges that reality is often less idyllic, but emphasizes that love and choice can transform our world into something magical.

The chorus, with its simple yet powerful 'Un, deux, trois' (One, two, three), encourages listeners to close their eyes, open their arms, and embrace the possibilities that await them. The repeated phrase 'Tous les abracadabras n'attendent que toi' (All the abracadabras are waiting for you) suggests that the magic we seek is already within us, waiting to be unleashed. This idea is reinforced by the line 'Le monde merveilleux c'est toi' (The wonderful world is you), highlighting the belief that we have the power to create our own magical reality.

St-Pier draws a parallel to 'The Wizard of Oz,' urging listeners to follow their imagination and create a world that reflects their dreams and desires. The song's message is clear: as long as we can dream and have heart, anything is possible. The imagery of choosing colors on a cloud and making the world in one's image further underscores the theme of personal empowerment and the transformative power of imagination. 'Un, Deux, Trois' is a reminder that magic is not just a fantasy but a reality we can create through love, belief, and imagination.
