C'est Si Bon
Arielle Dombasle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mais de plus belle il n'en est pas pour moi
Elle est vraiment toute la joie du monde
Ma vie commence dиs que je la vois
Et je fais: Oh!
Et je fais:Ah!
C'est si bon
Bras dessus bras dessous
En chantant des chansons
C'est si bon
De se dire des mots doux
Des petits riens du tout
Mais qui en disent long
En voyant notre mine ravie
Les passants dans la rue nous envient
C'est si bon
De guetter dans ses yeux
Un espoir merveilleux
Qui donne le frisson
C'est si bon
Ces petites sensations
Ca vaut mieux qu'un million
Tell'ment, tell'ment з'est bon
Vous devinez quel bonheur est le nфtre
Et si je l'aime vous comprenez pourquoi
Elle m'enivre et je n'en veux plus d'autres
Car elle est toutes les femmes а la fois
Ell' me fait: oh!
Ell' me fait: Ah
C'est si bon
De pouvoir l'embrasser
Et puis d'recommencer
A la moindre occasion
C'est si bon
De jouer du piano
Tout le long de son dos
Tandis que nous dansons
C'est inoui ce qu'elle a pour sйduire
Sans parler de c'que je n'peux pas dire
C'est si bon
Quand j'la tiens dans mes bras
De m'dire que tout зa
C'est а moi pour de bon
C'est si bon
Et si nous nous aimons
Cherchez pas la raison
C'est parc'que c'est si bon
C'est parc'que c'est si bon
C'est parc'que c'est... trop... bon.
The lyrics of Arielle Dombasle's song C'est si bon talk about the joy of love and the pleasure of being with the one you love. The singer talks about a blonde woman who, for her, is the most beautiful person in the world. She brings all the joy in the world and her sight is the beginning of the singer's life. The first stanza ends with the singer making sounds of joy, "Oh!" and "Ah!", expressing the intensity of her love.
The song then moves towards the central theme, which is the pleasure of being with someone you love. The singer talks about the joy of going anywhere with the loved one, arm in arm, and singing songs. She also talks about the pleasure of saying sweet things to each other, even if they are small and mean nothing to others. The satisfaction derived from these little moments is immense.
In the second half of the song, the singer talks about the feeling of love and how it has an impact on people around. The passers-by envy them as the couple is so happy. They can sense the expectation and thrill in their eyes. The singer also talks about the pleasure of playing piano on the back of the loved one while dancing. The song ends with the couple cherishing the moment, thankful for how good everything feels and knowing that it is so because they have each other.

With all due respect, she cannot be compared. She is unique (just as Angelina is). Arielle embodies french beauty just like Brigitte Bardot in her days.
