Alone on your tandem
- 1. Here, the use of this phrase has a double meaning. Indeed, it appears the wheel of the tandem. But it also refers to the famous popular expression « The wheel turns »; The image of a spinning wheel comes from the Roman goddess of luck and chance, Fortuna. The wheel she spins symbolizes fate. It is often repeated, as in the game « the wheel of fortune ». ... Hence the expression «the wheel turns".
- 2. Notice, here, « one of the two » is conjugated in the masculine in this sentence in the French lyrics. Therefore, it's not the « wheel » of the tandem in question but rather one of the latter's two passengers.
- 3. It can be pretty confusing for an English speaker that two different pronouns mean « you » - « tu » and « vous » in French. Therefore, it's essential to know that every sentence in this first verse is conjugated in the 2nd person plural in the original French lyrics. On the other hand, every following verse and the chorus are conjugated in the 2nd person singular. Thus, in the first verse, a loving couple is staged. But in the verses that follow, the man of the couple without his girlfriend is in question.
- 4. "Be in vein" in French = Be lucky. A French expression that emerged during the 16th century, and which comes from the mining industry. When prospectors unearthed, during their research, a vein of gold, diamonds, or even silver, they spoke of a good "vein".
- 5. Here in French, "athlete" is conjugated in the feminine.
