La Décadanse (meaning "The decadence") was a hit song released in 1972 by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. Similar to Je t’aime…moi non plus, La Décadanse is racy in nature, given the sexual innuendos of the lyrics.
La Décadanse: Song title meaning
The song’s title, La Décadanse, is a French play on words or pun for the word “decadence”, which, according to the Oxford Dictionary, means “moral or cultural decline as characterized by excessive indulgence in pleasure or luxury”.
The third syllable of the word décadanse is “danse” (dance). In French, the nasal an (as in décadanse) and nasal en as in décadense (decadence) have the same sound.
The lyrics describe or suggest a sexual encounter or “dance” between Gainsbourg and Birkin, with lines such as “Oui, c’est bien, bouge tes reins, lentement, devant les miens” (Yes, it’s good, move your lower back, slowly, in front of mine).
Towards the end of the song, the couple asks God for forgiveness for their potentially sinful actions: “Dieu, Pardonnez nos offenses…Et nos âmes égarées” (God, forgive our offences…And our lost souls).
