Pour moi la vie va commencer

The speaker feels that a new life is beginning as he returns to the country where he grew up. Familiar landscapes and the presence of family and friends reconnect him with his childhood and bring his forgotten past back into view. The mood is hopeful and peaceful: he imagines living there without fear or boredom, among people he trusts.

The repeated phrase “life is going to begin” suggests more than simply arriving home: the speaker feels ready to start again, or to finally live fully. The “heart of a child” points to a younger, more innocent self that the place has preserved. Horses moving across the distant landscape are compared to a herd, making the scene feel calm and open rather than threatening.

The song presents home as a source of belonging and freedom, but it leaves some things unsaid. The speaker’s earlier life is described only as something that had been forgotten, so we do not know why he left or what made him feel that life had not yet begun. His confidence may be a joyful promise to himself, rather than a guarantee that the future will be perfect.
