Hardy signed her first contract with the record label Vogue in November 1961. In April 1962, shortly after finishing school, her first album, "Oh oh Chéri", appeared, with the title song written by Johnny Hallyday's writing duo. The flip side of the record, "Tous les garçons et les filles" became a huge success, which sold 2 million copies. She had long hair and usually wore jeans with a leather jacket, while accompanying her songs on the guitar.
She sang in English, Spanish, and German occasionally. In 1963, she represented Monaco in the Grand Prix d'Eurovision de la Chanson with "L'amour s'en va" and emerged in fifth place. In 1968, she received the Grand Prix du Disque Académie Charles Cros.
In 1981, she married her long-time companion Jacques Dutronc, with whom she had already had a son (Thomas Dutronc) in 1973. In May 2000, she had a comeback with the album "Clair Obscur". Her son played the guitar, and her husband sang the duet "Puisque vous partez en voyage". Iggy Pop and Etienne Daho participated, as well. She currently lives near Paris.
In 2006 she released a new duets album entitled "Parenthèses" which included a song with her son Thomas.
In 2021, Hardy announced that her health had worsened and that she would not be able to sing again owing to the effects of cancer therapy.
Le Temps De L' Amour
Françoise Hardy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient
On ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour
C'est long et c'est court
Ça dure toujours, on s'en souvient
Et qu'éternellement il y aura dans nos yeux
Tout le ciel bleu
C'est le temps de l'amour
Le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient
On ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour
Ça vous met au cœur
Beaucoup de chaleur et de bonheur
Un beau jour c'est l'amour et le cœur bat plus vite
Car la vie suit son cours
Et l'on est tout heureux d'être amoureux
C'est le temps de l'amour
Le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient
On ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour
C'est long et c'est court
Ça dure toujours, on s'en souvient
On s'en souvient
On s'en souvient
On s'en souvient

@steeltuff1
It's the season of love,
the time for friends and for adventure.
As time comes and goes,
we don't worry about anything despite our wounds.
For the season of love
is both long and short,
it lasts forever, we remember it.
They say that, at twenty, you are the king of the world
and that there will be, in our eyes,
blues skies forever.
It's the season of love,
the time for friends and for adventure.
As time comes and goes,
we don't worry about anything despite our wounds.
For the season of love
fills your heart
with warmth and happiness.
One fine day, it's love, and your heart beats quicker,
because life follows its course
and we are all happy to be in love.
It's the season of love,
the time for friends and for adventure.
As time comes and goes,
we don't worry about anything despite our wounds.
For the season of love
is both long and short,
it lasts forever, we remember it.

The Time of Love
It's the time of love
The time of valentines
And aventure
When time comes and goes
You think of nothing
In spite of your wounds
Because the time of love
Is long and is short
It lasts for ever
You remember that
It's said that when you're 20
You are the king of the world
And that for ever
You'll have in your eyes
All the blue skies
It's the time of love
The time of valentines
And aventure
When time comes and goes
You think of nothing
In spite of your wounds
Because the time of love
Fills your heart
With much warmth
And much happiness
All of a sudden, it's love
And your heart beats faster
Because life goes on
And you're so happy
To be in love
It's the time of love
The time of valentines

Barmu It's the time of love
The time of friends
And of adventure
When time comes and goes
We don't think about anything
Despite our injuries
Because the time of love
It's long and it's short
It lasts forever
We remember it
We tell ourselves that at 20 years
We rule the world
And that eternally
In our eyes there will be
The whole blue sky
It's the time of love
The time of friends
And of adventure
When time comes and goes
We don't think about anything
Despite our injuries
Because the time of love
Puts in your heart
Lots of warmth
And happiness
One beautiful day it's love
And the heart beats faster
Because life follows its course
And we're so happy
To be in love
It's the time of love
The time of friends
And of adventure
When time comes and goes
We don't think about anything
Despite our injuries
Because the time of love
It's long and it's short
It lasts forever
We remember it
My personal translation, sadly it doesn't reflect the simple poetry of the original lyrics, but you get the idea.
