1. that plays on "Emma" sounding like "aima" (loved)2. as musical notes3. lit. "we'll chuck a lot into our eyes"4. no idea what this line means or alludes to5. plays on "ne pas savoir le pourquoi du comment", a funny expression meaning "having no clue"6. I can't see any pun there7. the usual expression is "bouffer/manger des yeux" (eat someone with your eyes), meaning "staring greedily at someone"
