Clémentine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je sais tout est fini
J'ai perdu ta confiance
Néanmoins je te prie
De m'accorder ma chance
Si devant mon remords
Tu restes indifférente
On ne peut te donner tort
Au nom des joies
Que nous avons vécues
Au nom de l'amour
Que nous croyons perdu
Sans toi ma mie
Le temps est si lourd
Les heures et les jours
Sombrent sans espoir
Sans toi ma mie
Je sais tout est fini
J'ai perdu ta confiance
Néanmoins je te prie
De m'accorder ma chance
Si devant mon remords
Tu restes indifférente
On ne peut te donner tort
Mais soit donc indulgente
Sans toi ma mie
Je vogue sans but
Je vogue perdue
Sous un ciel tout noir
Comprends que dans les rues
Tant de filles nous tentent
Et leur air ingénu
Nous torturent et nous hantent
Aussi je viens vers toi
Pour te confier ma voile
Toi tu me guideras
Tu es ma bonne étoile
Sans toi ma mie
Le temps est si lourd
Les heures et les jours
Sombrent sans espoir
Sans toi ma mie.
The lyrics are in French and the song is called "San Towa Mami" by the Japanese band, Clementine.

He describes his life without her as bleak and hopeless, and he is lost without her guidance. He admits to being tempted by other women, but he knows that his true love is the woman he is addressing in the song.
The song is a beautiful and heartfelt plea for forgiveness and a second chance. It is sung with emotion and vulnerability, and the lyrics are powerful in their honesty and sincerity. The singer's voice is gentle and longing, adding to the emotional impact of the song. The guitar and piano accompaniment are simple yet effective in conveying the sadness and regret of the lyrics. Overall, the song is a moving and relatable expression of love and forgiveness.
