Toi jamais
Catherine Deneuve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
des bijoux et des fourrures
Toi jamais
Mettre à mes pieds leur fortune
Et me décrocher la lune
Toi jamais
Et chaque fois qu'ils m'appellent,
ils me disent que je suis belle
Toi jamais
Ils m'implorent et m'adorent
Mais pourtant moi je les ignore
Tu le sais
Homme,
Tu n'es qu'un homme
Comme les autres
je le sais
Et comme
Tu es mon homme
Je te pardonne
Et toi jamais
Ils inventent des histoires,
Que je fais semblant de croire
Toi jamais
Ils me jurent fidélité
jusqu'au bout de l'éternité
Toi jamais
Et quand ils me parlent d'amour
ils ont trop besoin de discours
Toi jamais
Je me fous de leur fortune
Qu'ils laissent là
où est la lune
sans regret
Homme,
Tu n'es qu'un homme
Comme les autres
je le sais
Et comme
Tu es mon homme
Je te pardonne
Et toi jamais
Tu as tous les défauts que j'aime
Et des qualités bien cachées
Tu es un homme, et moi, je t'aime
Et ça ne peux pas s'expliquer
Car homme
Tu n'es qu'un homme
Comme les autres
je le sais
Et comme
Tu es mon homme
je te pardonne
Et toi
jamais
English Translation:
You Never
They want to buy me cars
Jewels and fur coats
You never!
They promise me a fortune
And also the moon
You never
And every time they call
They tell me I'm beautiful
You never
They prey to me and worship me
Yet I ignore them
You know
Man, you're a man like any man
I know
And because you're my man, I forgive you
You never
They make up stories
And I pretend to believe them
You never
They promise to be faithful forever
You never
And when they tell me they love me
They need too many words
You never
I don't care for their fortune
Let them send that to the moon
Without regret!
Man, you're a man like any man
I know
And because you're my man
I forgive you
You never
You have all the defects I love
And good qualities deep inside
You are a man, and I love you
And no one can explain why
Cause man, you're a man like any man
I know
And because you're my man
I forgive you
You never
In "Toi jamais" (You never) by Catherine Deneuve, she sings about the men who try to win her over with materialistic possessions and grandiose promises. They want to give her cars, jewelry and fur coats, and they swear to be faithful to her forever. However, she is not interested in those things and doesn't believe their endless declarations of love. In the chorus, she sings that despite all their attempts to win her over, they will never have her heart, only her man will. She acknowledges that her man is flawed like any other person but still loves him for who he is.
The song's lyrics depict how superficial and insincere people can be when trying to impress someone, especially someone of high status like Catherine Deneuve. The song is a critique of the excess and vanity present in certain circles, and the power dynamics that can influence relationships. Deneuve has been known for her acting and singing career, and this song showcases her vocal talents, delivering the emotions of her lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
They want to buy me cars
They offer to buy me luxuries such as cars
Jewels and fur coats
Precious stones and animal fur clothing
You never!
But you never offer such things
They promise me a fortune
They pledge to give me a large sum of money
And also the moon
And even something impossible like the moon
You never
But you never make those promises
And every time they call
And every time they contact me
They tell me I'm beautiful
They tell me that I am stunning
You never
But you never say it repeatedly like them
They prey to me and worship me
They beg and idolize me
Yet I ignore them
But I choose to ignore their pleas
You know
Because you understand me
Man, you're a man like any man
You are just a typical man
I know
And I am aware of that fact
And because you're my man, I forgive you
But because you are my partner, I pardon your faults
You never
Unlike those other men
They make up stories
They fabricate tales
And I pretend to believe them
And I feign belief in their lies
You never
But you never deceive me like that
They promise to be faithful forever
They swear they will always be loyal to me
You never
But you never make such assertions
And when they tell me they love me
And when they express their love for me
They need too many words
They say too many empty words
You never
But you never express your feelings with unnecessary words
I don't care for their fortune
I don't care about their wealth
Let them send that to the moon
Let them throw their riches away
Without regret!
And I won't feel any remorse about it
You have all the defects I love
You have all the imperfections that I find endearing
And good qualities deep inside
And you also possess many great traits underneath your flaws
You are a man, and I love you
You are a man, and I have deep affection for you
And no one can explain why
And no one can give a logical explanation for my love towards you
