D'Amour et d'Eau Fraîche
Camille Bazbaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Y'a plus grand chose qui me tient
Dans ce monde à part tes mains
Y'a plus grand chose qui me touche
Dans ce monde à part ta bouche
Y'a plus grand chose qui me vient
Dans ce monde sans desseins
Y'a plus grand chose qui me pousse
Dans ce monde à part ma douce

Du coup je vis
Je vis d'amour
D'amour et d'eau fraîche
De toi
Je suis riche
D'amour et d'eau fraîche
Le reste est en friche

Y'a plus grand chose plus d'écho
Dans ce monde sauf tes mots
Y'a plus grand chose plus de surprises
Sur ce grand gateau t'es ma cerise
Y'a plus grand chose qui soit beau
A part le soleil sur ta peau
Y'a plus grand chose qui m'instruise
Et plus grand chose qui détruise

Du coup je vis
Je vis d'amour
D'amour et d'eau fraîche
Et de toi
Je suis riche
D'amour et d'eau fraîche
De tes yeux
Je m'entiche




D'amour et d'eau fraîche
Le reste est en friche

Overall Meaning

The French lyrics of Camille Bazbaz's song D'Amour et d'Eau Fraîche, translated to 'Love and Freshwater', are about the power of love and its ability to transform the world around the singer. The first verse talks about how the only thing that truly matters to the singer is their lover's touch and kiss. The second verse emphasizes the feeling of richness and fullness that comes with being in love, and how it makes everything else in the world seem to pale in comparison. The song builds on this idea of love being the most important thing, with the chorus repeating the title phrase - that the singer lives on love and fresh water, and that everything else is barren or in disrepair.


In interpreting the song further, it's clear that the lyrics are not just about romantic love, but a deeper connection to another person that fundamentally changes the singer's outlook on life. The line "Le reste est en friche" or "The rest is barren" emphasizes that without this person in their life, the singer feels that there is no hope and no purpose - they are living only on love and the bare necessities. The use of metaphor throughout the song also highlights the transformative power of love - comparing the lover to a cherry on top of a cake, or the sun on the lover's skin.


The song is both simple and complex in its message, and is a reminder of the importance of love and human connection in a world that can often feel overwhelming or empty.
