Discover the story of the song > La Poupée – Christophe Maé

The lyrics describe a person (the protagonist) who sees an older woman (his partner) who looks sad and broken. The protagonist tries to reach out and help her, but she refuses and says she doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore. The protagonist wishes that someone had paid more attention to her before so that she wouldn't have been hurt. The lyrics also mention that the protagonist will keep his partner's heart safe while waiting for the sun to come back, and promises to watch over her. The song concludes by suggesting that maybe if someone had looked out for her earlier, she wouldn't have been broken by the winter.
