Born in Paris but traveled widely as a child. With her father transferring first to Mexico and later around the world, she grew in touch with Bossa Nova and other local flavors of music.Returned to France and started Piano lessons at age 10 and Jazz school at age 12. Started her professional career in 1987 by sending a demo tape to Jazz greats Johnny Griffin and Ben Sidran, and was subsequently given an opportunity to record several songs with them.
In 1988 released her first single, "Absolument Jazz" with CBS France. Signed a contract with Sony Music Entertainment Japan in 1990, and released many singles and albums. From 2003 to 2005 switched to the Epic Records Japan label, and from 2005 to 2008 to Toshiba EMI. Returned to Sony Music Entertainment in 2008.
サン・トワ・マミー
Clémentine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
許してさえ くれない貴方
サヨナラと 顔も見ないで
去って行った 男の心
楽しい 夢の様な
あの頃を 思い出せば
サン・トワ・マミー
サン・トワ・マミー
街に出れば 男がさそい
ただ意味なく つきまとうけど
この私が ゆきつくとこは
貴方の胸 ほかにないのよ
サン・トワ・マミー 風の様に
大空を さまよう恋
サン・トワ・マミー
淋しくて 目の前が暗くなる
サン・トワ・マミー
サン・トワ・マミー
淋しくて 目の前が暗くなる
サン・トワ・マミー
サン・トワ・マミー
サン・トワ・マミー
The lyrics of Clementine's song サン・トワ・マミー depict the pain and longing of a woman who has just ended a relationship. She acknowledges that their love has come to an end, but she cannot forgive her partner for not showing any remorse or seeking forgiveness. The woman feels that she has to say goodbye without even looking at her partner's face, which adds to her pain.
The woman reminisces about the good times they shared, which now seem like a distant memory. She mentions "サン・トワ・マミー" - which roughly translates to "Saint-Tropez" - a place that holds special memories for them. She cannot help but feel sad and her world seems to darken when she thinks about these memories. Although she encounters other men who try to woo her, none of them can replace her former partner, and the only place she feels contented is in his embrace.
Overall, the song beautifully captures the emotions of heartbreak and loss, and the sense of longing that can linger long after a relationship has ended.

貴方の胸 ほかにないのよ
Is in your heart, and nowhere else
