The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Interpassion" by the artist "Yelle"

In the song "Interpassion," the French group Yelle explores the theme of intercultural communication, particularly online communication, and satirizes its stereotypes.

The lyrical heroine, calling herself "j'm'appelle" (a distorted French "my name is"), admits to confusing consonants and vowels, hinting at the language barrier. She enthusiastically, though somewhat clumsily, tries to communicate, repeating "Hello! How are you?". Despite the difficulties of translation, she is sure that everyone around her is her friend.

The chorus repeats the phrase "International passion," which becomes a metaphor for online communication that unites people around the world. The heroine is obsessed with this "passion" – the opportunity to erase borders and befriend everyone.

The second verse continues the theme of internet stereotypes: Mafalda (a symbol of international pop culture), Portuguese, California, and the ubiquitous "Made in China" are mentioned.

The song makes fun of the clichés of intercultural communication, but at the same time expresses optimism and belief that friendship and understanding are possible, despite language and cultural barriers.

[Couplet 1:]

Hi, mon nom est je m'appelle

Celle qui emmêle

Les consonnes et les voyelles

Je suis internationale

¿Hola, qué tal? ¿Hola, qué tal?

¿Hola, qué tal? Hola, qué

Hey! I speak a little bit

You don't understand

But I speak a little bit

And I'm sure you are my friend

You are my friend, you are my friend

You are my friend, you are my—

[Pré-refrain:]

J'aime les gens, j'trouve ça bien

Quand on s'fait tous des câlins

Quand on mélange nos voyelles

Qu'on se fait la courte échelle

J'aime moins les consonnes

De ceux qu'on a pas sonnés

J'appuie sur l'interphone

Je suis interpassionnée

[Refrain:]

Interpassion, interpassion, interpassion

Je suis interpassionée

Interpassion, interpassion, interpassion

Je suis interpassionée

[Couplet 2:]

(Bonjour)

¿Cómo te llamas? Do you know Mafalda?

Do you speak Portuguese? Are you from California?

Made in China, made in China

Made in China, made in China

[Pré-refrain:]

J'aime les gens, j'trouve ça bien

Quand on s'fait tous des câlins

Quand on mélange nos voyelles

Qu'on se fait la courte échelle

J'aime moins les consonnes

De ceux qu'on a pas sonnés

J'appuie sur l'interphone

Je suis interpassionnée

[Refrain: 2x]

Interpassion, interpassion, interpassion

Je suis interpassionée

Interpassion, interpassion, interpassion

Je suis interpassionée
