C'est si bon
Bert Kaempfert and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De partir n'I'm porte ou,
Bras desus bras dessous,
En chantant des chansons,
C'est si bon,
De se dir' desmots doux,
Des petite rien do tout,
C'est si bon,
Lovers say that in France,
When they thrill to romance,
It means that it's so good.
C'est si bon,
So I say it to you,
Like the French people do,
Because it's oh, so good.
Every word, every sigh,
Every kiss, dear,
Leads to only one thought,
And it's this, dear,
Nothing else can replace,
Just your slightest embrace,
And if you only would be my own,
For the rest of my days,
I will whisper this phrase,
My darling, C'est si bon!
The lyrics to Bert Kaempfert and His Orchestra's song "C'est Si Bon" are pure romance, as it describes how wonderful it is to be in a good relationship. The song talks of how good it feels to walk arm in arm with someone, singing songs and exchanging sweet words. In France, lovers are known to express their feelings with romantic gestures, and when they do, it is referred to as "C'est Si Bon." So, the singer is telling his lover that what they have is as good as it gets, and as the French people say, it's "so good."
The lyrics of the song also talk about how the simplest things can say so much. Little moments and glances can be loaded with meaning, and that's what makes the love between two people so special. The singer reassures his lover that every word they say, every sigh they let out, and every kiss they share leads to only one thought, which is how much they love each other. All they need is each other's embrace, and nothing else can fill that void. The singer ends the song by promising to tell his lover that "C'est Si Bon" every day of their life, and it's a message that they will whisper to each other always.
