Early
morning she's going out From his nice flat in town She takes the bus, she doesn't hear a sound But she doesn't care No she doesn't care Well he's much older And she knows it well He's got memories and sad stories to tell But she doesn't care No she doesn't care Minitel Minitel, dis-moi qui est la plus belle… Minitel Minitel, dis-moi qui est la Now she's in her small room She thinks she's a fool She combs her hair She picks up the books to go to school But she doesn't care No she doesn't care She thinks of him She thinks he thinks of her That he can't forget that she will always be the third But she doesn't care No she doesn't care Minitel Minitel, dis-moi qui est la plus belle… Minitel Minitel, dis-moi qui est la He thinks of them What is wrong, what is right? But there's only one who's gonna be back tonight She doesn't care No she doesn't care She's going in his nice flat in town The elevator seems to be turning around She doesn't care No she doesn't care Minitel Minitel, dis-moi qui est la plus belle ... |

Minitel
is a pre-Internet text communication service that is based
on and comparable with systems like Prestel (English) and BTX (German).
France seems to be about the only country where it became a success.
Meant as a
yellow pages-like info system, it soon became dominated by lonely
hearts & erotic content and anonymous contacts - kw In the refrain, 4th repeat, Sebastián doesn't sing the 'plus belle' part, thus remaining with 'dis-moi qui est là' which has a double meaning: it also means 'who is there' - thus emphasizing the anonymous character of electronic communication in our modern world? - kw |
