The song "Jour Bizarre" by Jean-Jacques Goldman tells the story of a peculiar day where the protagonist encounters a girl in an ordinary street. The day is described as being without sunshine or wind, but rather mild and calm. As the protagonist walks in this ordinary street, he notices a girl who passes by. Although she is described as attractive, it seems that their encounter is fleeting and brief. They cross paths, exchange glances, but there is a sense of resignation and lack of hope in their eyes. The lyrics go on to describe the girl's physical features, from her legs to her smile, and even the sweet scent that lingers in the air as she walks away. The protagonist becomes intrigued by her and turns around to see where she is headed. In the final verse, the protagonist wonders how he can reach out to her without seeming like a fool. He observes her wild hair, hips, shoulders, and neck, but he ponders how to communicate his interest without appearing strange or desperate. Overall, "Jour Bizarre" captures a moment of connection and attraction between two strangers in an ordinary street. The lyrics emphasize the unusual and intriguing nature of this encounter on a seemingly unremarkable day.
