Donne donne moi
Art Sullivan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tu, tu étais là
Toujours à m'attendre
Sans jamais comprendre
Que mon amour pour toi
Etait en attente
Depuis de longs mois

{Refrain, x2:}
Mais tu sais
Donne, donne, donne-moi
Donne, donne, donne-moi
Un petit peu de ton cœur
Un petit peu de ta vie

Tu étais là
Mais quelque chose a changé en toi
Car je voudrais crier
Très fort te serrer
Me jeter dans tes bras

{au Refrain, x2}

Mais tu es là
Ton visage pardonne
Rien qu'à ces mots-là
Car quand la nuit viendra
Avec des mots tendres
Je serai dans tes bras





{au Refrain, ad lib}

Overall Meaning

The singer addresses a person who was always waiting for them, but couldn't comprehend that the singer's love had been waiting for them for a long time.

Despite this, the singer acknowledges that something has changed in the person, and they want to cry out and be held by them.


The lyrics convey a sense of longing and frustration, as the singer is unable to fully express their emotions to the person they love. They see that the person is still there, forgiving them with their mere presence, but at the same time, something has shifted, and they don't know how to bridge the gap. The singer hopes that by asking for a little bit of their heart and life, they can demonstrate their commitment and dedication to the relationship.


Overall, the lyrics of "Donne donne-moi" offer a poignant portrayal of unrequited love and the struggle to communicate our deepest feelings to the people we care about the most.
