Regrets
Bernard Paganotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Où rien ne meurt jamais
J'ai fait ce long, ce doux voyage
Nos âmes se confondent
Aux neiges éternelles
L'amour cachait son vrai visage
Oh viens, ne sois plus sage
Je sais la menace
Des amours mortes
Gardons l'innocence
Et l'insouciance
De nos jeux d'antan, troublants
N'aie pas de regret
Fais moi confiance, et pense
À tous les "no way"
L'indifférence des sens
N'aie pas des regret
Fais la promesse, tu sais que
L'hiver et l'automne n'ont pu s'aimer
Debout la tête ivre
De rêves suspendus
Je bois à nos amours infirmes
Au vent que je devine
Nos lèvres éperdues
S'offrent des noces clandestines
N'ouvre pas la porte
Tu sais le piège
De tous les remords
De l'anathème
Je me fous des saisons
Viens je t'emmène
Là, où dorment ceux qui s'aiment
N'aie pas (viens ce soir) de regrets (viens me voir)
Fais-moi confiance, et pense à tous
(Viens t'asseoir) les "no way" (près de moi)
L'indifférence des sens
N'aie pas (l'aube est là) de regrets (reste là)
Fais la promesse, tu sais que (je te promets)
L'hiver (d'être là) et l'automne (pour l'éternité) n'ont pu s'aimer
N'aie pas (viens ce soir) de regrets (viens me voir)
Fais-moi confiance, et pense à tous
(Viens t'asseoir) les "no way" (près de moi)
L'indifférence des sens
N'aie pas (l'aube est là) de regrets (reste là)
Fais la promesse, tu sais que (je te promets)
L'hiver (d'être là) et l'automne (pour l'éternité) n'ont pu s'aimer
N'aie pas (viens ce soir) de regrets (viens me voir)
Fais-moi confiance, et pense à tous
(Viens t'asseoir) les "no way" (près de moi)
L'indifférence des sens
N'aie pas (l'aube est là) de regrets (reste là)
Fais la promesse, tu sais que (je te promets)
L'hiver (d'être là) et l'automne (pour l'éternité) n'ont pu s'aimer
N'aie pas (viens ce soir) de regrets (viens me voir)
Fais-moi confiance, et pense à tous
(Viens t'asseoir) les "no way" (près de moi)
L'indifférence des sens
The lyrics of Bernard Paganotti's song "Regrets" convey the idea of a passionate, but doomed love affair. The singer is far away from the rest of the world, in a place where nothing dies. There, they had a long and sweet journey and their souls became one with the eternal snow. However, the love that they shared was not as pure as it seemed initially. The singer urges their lover to forget about being prudent and to keep the innocence and carelessness of their childhood games, those that were so exciting and disturbing. They should not regret what they had, but instead trust each other and remember the "no way" situations and how they overcame them. The singer seems to be aware of the danger of dead loves, which can be a trap of remorse and condemnation for life. They do not care about the seasons, and they invite their lover to a place where people who loved each other rest.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of living life fully and enjoying the moment, but there is also a sense of sadness, as if the singer knows that their affair is coming to an end. The snow serves as a reminder of the ephemeral nature of love, its beauty, and its ability to fade away quickly. The song seems to be a plea to hold on to love, even as it happens to slip away. The singer wants them to make a promise to each other, to remember what they had and cherish it.
Overall, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a romance that is both intense and fleeting, one that brings both happiness and sadness. The singer is urging their lover to appreciate what they had and not to regret it, even if their love was not perfect.
