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.
Le vol d'un ange
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il m'a emmené jusqu'à toi
Un battement de cil
Et tu es là
La nuit plus rien ne nous dérange
La raison est un fil de soie
On la sent plus fragile
C'est bien comme ça
Toi, est-ce que tu rêves encore?
Toi, est-ce que tu vas toujours caresser le ciel?
Toi, est-ce que tu cherches encore?
Toi, est-ce que tu veux toujours effleurer le soleil?
Et j'ai suivi le vol d'un ange
Comme un voyage au fond de moi
Juste en fermant les yeux
Et tu es là
La nuit a ce pouvoir étrange
De nous faire aller jusque-là
Où même les oiseaux
N'arrivent pas
Toi, est-ce que tu rêves encore?
Toi, est-ce que tu vas toujours caresser le ciel?
Toi, est-ce que tu cherches encore?
Toi, est-ce que tu veux toujours effleurer le soleil?
On frôlait l'océan
Est-ce que tu te rappelles?
On partait droit devant
On rêvait
De voler là-bas
À l'autre bout du ciel, à l'autre bout du ciel
Toi, est-ce que tu rêves encore?
Toi, est-ce que tu vas toujours caresser le ciel?
Toi, est-ce que tu cherches encore?
Toi, est-ce que tu veux toujours effleurer le soleil?
Et j'ai suivi le vol d'un ange
Il m'a emmené jusqu'à toi
Un battement de cil
Et tu es là
The lyrics of Céline Dion's song "Le vol d'un ange" is about following the flight of an angel, a metaphor for chasing after one's dreams and desires. The singer describes following the angel until it brings them to the person they love. The night is portrayed as a peaceful time where nothing can disturb them, and reason is just a delicate thread. The singer asks their lover if they still dream of touching the sky, if they still seek to touch the sun.
The second verse continues with the same dream-like imagery. The night, with its mysterious power, takes them deep within themselves until they can see their lover again just by closing their eyes. The singer mentions that even birds cannot reach this deep into their own psyche. The last few lines recall a past memory of flying towards the ocean and dreaming of reaching the other side of the sky.
"Le vol d'un ange" is a song about following one's passions and dreams and finding love along the way. The angel is a metaphor for fate or one's inner guide leading them to their beloved. The night is portrayed as a mystical time where anything is possible, and reason takes a backseat to emotion.

The flight of an angel
And I followed the flight of an angel
He took me up to thee
A heartbeat away
And you are
The night nothing bothers us
The reason is a silk thread
One feels more fragile
It's good like that
But tell me ... You, do you dream again?
You, is it that you always caress the sky?
You, do you still looking?
You, do you still want to touch the sun?
And I followed the flight of an angel
As a journey deep inside
Just close your eyes
And you are
The night has this strange power
Let us go up to the
Or even birds
Fail You, do you dream again?
You, is it that you always caress the sky?
You, do you still looking?
You, do you still want to touch the sun? It bordered on the ocean
Do you remember?
We left right before
We dreamed
To fly over there
At the other end of the sky, across the sky You, do you dream again?
You, is it that you always caress the sky?
You, do you still looking? You, do you still want to touch the sun?

Sa vie ,sa santé, toute sa vie a changée depuis le départ de son Ange(Angelil) ça me fait beaucoup de peine puisqu'elle a perdu ses repères et a fait de mauvais choix par la suite ,cause de tous ses soucis,très belle chanson elle lui parle j en ai des frissons bravo!
@newedengarden
Quels mauvais choix a-t-elle fait? Je suis fan éternel de Céline, reine de mon enfance. Mon amour pour la musique a commencé par elle.
@milkakithima7504
Maman tu me manques 💔💔💔 3 ans déjà mais ça fait toujours mal..très mal même. Je me cache pour pleurer parce que je suis sensée être la plus forte. Personne ne comprend que tu étais ma force, aujourd'hui je me sens vulnérable. J'en suis devenue méchante pour pas qu'on m'approche...je ne veux pas leur laisser le temps de me demander comment je vais de peur de m'effondrer😓. Je ferme les yeux et je te vois, je t'entends..je sens jusqu'à ton odeur...je garde mes yeux longtemps fermés pour pas te perdre.
