Quand tu dors, lyric video sample
- Song language French
- 30-second excerpt
Style and material
“Quand tu dors” is a whispered French song, closer to a lullaby than a chorus. It asks someone to stay a little longer, softly, while the world waits outside, because everything the singer needs is there when they sleep. A foggy window at dusk under a pink-orange sky, with a cat asleep on the sill and the rooftops of Paris beyond. The words are written by finger in the mist, like a whisper beside someone asleep. Everything stays low and soft, so the lettering is a whisper rather than a shout, and the room stays asleep.
About this clip
Quand tu dors is a 30-second lyric video sample for a song in French.
Visual style: words written by finger on a fogged window. A fogged window: the words are written with a finger, like a whisper beside someone asleep.
Why this look: A whisper beside someone asleep: the words are finger-written on a fogged window.
Across the clip: The whole clip looks through one fogged-up window of a Paris flat at night, with the Eiffel Tower lit up in the distance. Inside, a cup of coffee steams on the sill, a candle burns on a small table and a cat sleeps curled up on a blanket. Outside, the city changes from warm evening lights to a rainy blue street with an umbrella and a tram, and the last scene shows a pink and lilac dawn over the rooftops.
The first and the last line of the clip:
“Reste encore, tout doucement”
“J’ai tout ce qu’il me faut quand tu dors”

The same text as the captions of the video.
Reste encore, tout doucement
Le monde attendra dehors
Reste encore, simplement
J’ai tout ce qu’il me faut quand tu dors
