Born to a large impoverished family, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the anglophone album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a temporary retirement from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer.She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
After performing in 25 countries during the Taking Chances World Tour which ended in February 2009 (one year after it began) she took another 2 year hiatus, focusing on expanding her family. After 6 in-vitro tries she gave birth to twin boys Nelson and Eddy in October 2010. In the meantime she announced her return to Vegas, her new show simply named "Céline" premièred on March 15th 2011 to spectacular reviews by media and audience.
Dion's music has been influenced by genres ranging from rock and R&B to gospel and classical. While her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she is renowned for her technically skilled and powerful vocals. Dion is the best selling Canadian artist of all time; and her album D'eux is the best selling francophone album of all time. Dion is regarded as one of pop music's most influential voices. Linda Lister describes Dion as a reigning Queen of Pop for her influence over the record industry during the 1990s. On a cultural level, Dion is credited for introducing francophone music to many non-francophone countries around the globe. Dion is also credited for both revitalizing and revolutionizing the entertainment scene in Las Vegas with the gargantuan successes of her residencies there. She managed to re-popularize the Las Vegas "residency" as a desirable way for top artists to essentially tour in place, letting their fans come to them. Over the years, fellow established icons such as Britney Spears, Elton John, Bette Midler, Rod Stewart, Cher and Shania Twain followed suit.
Immensité
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Les nuits fauves d'une reine de Saba
J'ai vu la Terre, quelques orages
Les océans et ses naufrages
J'ai vu la foule et les silences
Les feux de joie et la souffrance
J'ai vu les roses sous la neige
Et les grands loups blancs pris au piège
Les amants qui restent sur le quai
Mais ce qui m'étonne, tu sais
C'est tout l'éclat de nos baisers
Tous les désirs, tous les sursauts
Comme des étoiles sur ta peau
Comme l'Immensité
J'ai vu les anges et les démons
Les yeux baissés et les sermons
J'ai vu les ombres et la lumière
D'une femme seule et guerrière
J'ai vu les flots et les rochers
Les révélations, les secrets
J'ai vu les vastes Amériques
Et tous les mirages de l'Afrique
J'ai vu l'azur et les glaciers
Se confondre et puis se briser
Mais ce qui m'étonne, tu sais
C'est tout l'éclat de nos baisers
Tous les désirs, tous les sursauts
Comme des étoiles sur ta peau
Comme l'Immensité
J'ai vu l'enfance et l'ivresse
La vie qui sourit, la tristesse
La misère d'un monde insensé
J'ai vu des hommes tomber
Et sous mes yeux se relever
J'ai vu le froid, j'ai vu la transe
Le rire de notre fils qui danse
J'ai reconnu ses yeux dorés
Oh, comme il te ressemblait
J'ai vu les lys, les orchidées
Cachés dans nos jardins secrets
Mais ce qui me renverse, tu sais
C'est tout l'éclat de tes baisers
Tous les désirs, tous les sursauts
Comme des étoiles sur ma peau
Comme l'Immensité
Comme la douceur de tes baisers
Tous les désirs, tous les sursauts
Comme des étoiles sur ma peau
Comme l'Immensité
The lyrics of Celine Dion's song Immensité, which translates to Immensity in English, depict the singer's vast experiences in life, narrating places, people and events that they have come across. The singer claims to have seen and experienced the vastness of the world, from the Ural mountains to the Sahara desert, from the tragedies of shipwrecks to the beauty of roses flourishing in the snow. The singer has seen the good and the bad, the joys and the sorrows, the jubilant crowds and the silent moments.
However, what truly fascinates the singer is the power of love and intimacy. The singer uses vivid imagery to describe the depth of their love, comparing it to the immensity of the universe. The singer has seen angels and demons, but they are still awed by the bright light of their partner's kiss. Whether it is "all the desires, all the outbursts" or the feeling of stars against skin, the sensation of their union is like no other thing known to the singer.
Overall, the song speaks to the complexity of human experience and the profundity of love, which can transform our understanding of the world around us.
