La femme qu'il me faut
Emmanuel Moire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Il faut que ces silences avouent
Les plus beaux péchés
Il faut qu'elle crie de vérité
Il faut qu'elle ait là sur la joue
Beaucoup de douceur
Car plus rien ne me tient à cœur
Après toi

La femme qu'il me faut
Je le sais n'existe pas
La femme qu'il me faut
Plus jamais je n'en voudrai après toi

Il faut qu'elle ait sur les genoux
L'enfance écorchée
Qu'elle ait soulevé des rochers
Il faut qu'elle ait les yeux si doux
Pour dissiper les nuages
Et ton visage
Tout est flou tant que je cours
Après toi

La femme qu'il me faut
Je le sais n'existe pas
La femme qu'il me faut
Plus jamais je n'en voudrai après toi

La femme qu'il me faut
Je le sais n'existe pas
La femme qu'il me faut

C'était toi
Plus jamais
Je n'aimerai
Après toi

Partir sans un mot
Tu sais, il ne fallait pas
La femme qu'il me faut
Je le sais n'existe pas

Alors à défaut il me plaît
De t'imaginer toujours auprès de moi

Overall Meaning

In Emmanuel Moire's song "La femme qu'il me faut," the singer searches for the perfect woman after a relationship has ended. The first verse describes the type of woman he desires: one who is willing to reveal her deepest secrets and sins, one who can express herself with honesty, and one who is gentle. The second verse elaborates on the qualities that she should possess: she should have experienced difficult times in her childhood and overcome them, she should be able to comfort and calm the singer, and her image should be clear and vivid in his mind.

Despite his search for this woman, he knows that she does not exist since he has already found her and lost her. He sings, "The woman I need/I know does not exist/The woman I need/I'll never want again after you." The chorus is a repetition of this sentiment, emphasizing that he will never find someone like his former love again.

In the third verse, he reveals that his former love was the one he needed, and she is the one he imagines still beside him. He accepts that she is gone, and he will never find someone like her again.

Overall, the song captures the sadness of losing someone valuable and unique and the longing that accompanies an unrequited love. It suggests that sometimes, one will never find someone like the person they lost, and they may have to imagine them being with them always.
