Heavily influenced by American rock & roll, Mitchell (who went solo in 1963) has often recorded outside France, at first in London, but later in Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee. Guitarist Jimmy Page and drummer Bob Graham were among the British session musicians who regularly supported him in London.
J'aime... J'aime pas
Eddy Mitchell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A date fixe super organisés
J'aime pas non plus les G.O. de vacances
Du gentil Club Méditerranée
J'aime la pluie du mois d'août à Paris
Quand il est désert et moins pollué
Sachant tout ça, si tu veux bien de moi
Nous vivrons ensemble et sans contrat
En regrettant que tu m'aies dit non
J'aime pas du tout me raser le dimanche
Mettre une cravate et sentir bon
J'aime pas les bains moussants qui vous détendent
Et vous laissent les jambes en coton
J'aime mieux un verre, un cigare, une bière
Un champagne, un whisky, un bourbon
Sachant tout ça, si tu veux bien de moi
Nous vivrons ensemble et sans contrat
Sinon je reprendrai ma vie de vagabond
En regrettant que tu m'aies dit non
Mais toi puisque je t'aime
On fera comme tu voudras
Je t'aime je t'aime je t'aime
J'aime pas la neige le soleil et la mer
Devenus propriété privée
J'aime pas non plus la voiture de nos rêves
Remboursable sur plusieurs années
Les femmes n'aiment pas les femmes
Qui aiment les hommes
Ça ne m'empêche pas de les aimer
Sachant tout ça si tu veux bien de moi
Nous vivrons ensemble et sans contrat
Sinon, je reprendrai ma vie de vagabond
En regrettant que tu m'aies dit non
Mais toi puisque je t'aime
On fera comme tu voudras
Je t'aime je t'aime je t'aime
J'aime pas du tout les week-end en partance
A date fixe super organisés
J'aime pas non plus les G.O. de vacances
Du gentil Club Méditerranée
J'aime la pluie du mois d'août à Paris
Quand il est désert et moins pollué
Sachant tout ça si tu veux bien de moi
Nous vivrons ensemble et sans contrat
Sinon...
The song J'Aime J'Aime Pas by Eddy Mitchell is a humorous and light-hearted take on the concept of love and commitment. The singer lists a number of things that he dislikes, such as organized vacations and feeling obligated to shave and wear a tie, and contrasts them with the things he does like, such as a rainy day in Paris and a glass of whisky or champagne. The chorus emphasizes his love for his partner and his willingness to go along with their preferences, even if it means sacrificing some of his own.
The overall mood of the song is playful and teasing, as the singer pokes fun at his own quirks and acknowledges that his partner may have different tastes and preferences. The final lines of the song suggest a sense of acceptance and compromise, as the singer declares his love for his partner and acknowledges that he is willing to adapt to their needs.
Overall, J'Aime J'Aime Pas can be seen as a lighthearted exploration of the ups and downs of romantic relationships, and the need for flexibility and compromise in order to make them work.
