Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
quesqui sais passer.
Je suis engourdit.
Le jour se leveee.
Mes mains tremblees sont glacers.
Demain je partir demain je dormir.
Le ciel saigne le martir.
Il pleut la guerre, il pleut la mort je dois partir!!!!
tout es finis.
Oh mon amii, toi qui croyait que cetais a l'infinis.
Oh mon cheriii!!!!
Hey leves nos mains regardent je me sens febrile.
La peur me hante Jentend le vent qui hurle a moi.
Demain je partir demain je mentir. Le ciel saigne le martyr. Il pleut la guerre il pleut la mort. Je dois m'enfuir. Oh mon cherii!! Les cloches sonnent ton depart. Tout es finism Ohh mon ami, toi qui croyais que cetais a l'infinis. Oh mon cheri!!!! Oh mon cheri, lea clochent sonnent ton depart, tout es finis. Oh mon cherii!! Les clochent sonnent ton depart. Tout es finiiiiis!! Mon ami toi qui croyait que cetais a l'infinis. Oh mon cheriiii!!!!
The lyrics of Anik Jean's song "Oh Mon Chéri" describe a melancholic scene of departure and death against the backdrop of war. The singer begins by expressing a sense of numbness and coldness in their hands, as the day begins to dawn. They describe the rain, which seems to symbolize war and death. The singer repeats the phrase "y'a pu d'amour y'a pu d'espoir" which translates to "there's no love, there's no hope", emphasizing the despair of the situation. The singer is clearly saddened by the departure of their loved one, as the bells ring out to signify their leaving, but there is also a sense of resignation and acceptance toward the end of the song, when they repeat "tout est fini" (it's all over).

I'm a french canadian, and dude, you seem to be pretty good in french. Just listen to french movies (Asterix et les Jeux Olympiques is a good choice, for example) and listen to french music and you will be able to speak or at leas understand french very well. Thats what I did to learn english and I speak it and write it as well as french. I love canada for being a hybrid french/english nation. La cohésion culturelle, thats what it's all about!
