Laetitia
Alain Delon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Alain Delon's song Laetitia tell a story of a man who realizes too late that the woman he loved, named Laetitia, was everything to him. He describes how an innocent bird once sang next to him, but he was so caught up in his own world that he didn't even hear it. Meanwhile, Laetitia lived her life as a fleeting dream, bringing color to their spring memories as they were filled with the illusion of an idyllic relationship. Then, the fragile bird eventually died, and Laetitia's life was cut short too. She now rests in a blue sea, now both her and the colorful memories are forever lost. He reminisces about the bird singing next to him once, but it will never return. In the end, the man finally understands that he was in love with Laetitia but it was discovered too late.
The song is a melancholic reflection on the transience of love and the pain of regret. The man desperately wishes that he had understood sooner that the woman he loved so much was the foundation of his life's precious moments. It is a heartbreaking reminder to not take love and life for granted and appreciate the moments of joy, especially with the people we love.

Laetitia je ne savais pas
I didn't know, Laetitia
Que tu étais tout pour moi
That you were everything to me
Un oiseau chantait tout près de moi
A bird was singing close to me
Mais je ne l'entendais pas
But I couldn't hear it
Et tu vivais innocente, éphémère
And you lived innocently, fleetingly
Tu habillais nos printemps de chimère
You dressed up our springs with fantasy
Laetitia je ne savais pas
I didn't know, Laetitia
Que la vie n'est rien sans toi
That life is nothing without you
L'oiseau fragile un jour s'est abattu
The fragile bird fell one day
La mort ne l'a pas rendu
Death didn't save it
Et tu reposes dans le bleu de la mer
And you rest in the blue of the sea
Toi qui colorais de bleu nos chimères
You who colored our fantasies blue
Un oiseau chantait près de moi
A bird was singing close to me
Jamais il ne reviendra
It will never come back
Laetitia, non je ne savais pas
Laetitia, no, I didn't know
J'étais amoureux de toi !
I was in love with you!

Laetitia
Laetitia não sabia
Você era tudo para mim
Um pássaro cantou perto de mim
Mas eu não ouvi
E você viveu inocente, efêmera
Você gosta de vestir a nossa Primavera
Laetitia não sabia
Que a vida é nada sem você
O pássaro bateu um dia fraco
A morte não tem feito
E você descansar no azul do mar
Você que nossos sonhos de cores azul
Um pássaro cantou por mim
Ele nunca retorna
Laetitia, não, eu não sabia
Eu estava apaixonado por você!
