Big Flo & Oli | Dommage

The song ‘Dommage’ is about four characters: Louis, a shy young man who doesn’t dare reveal that he loves a woman; Yasmine, a woman who dreamed of becoming a singer;  Diego, who prefers staying at home; and Pauline, a married woman who is beaten by her husband. The song brings together the four characters with a line that could be considered the moral of the song : « It’s better to live with remorse than regrets”, repeated four times at the end of the song.
