Françoise Hardy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 se dit qu'à vingt ans on est les rois du monde
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

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
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

Françoise Hardy is a legendary french singer, and in present day she was forced to stop her career due to a cancer, she's very ill and suffering severely from this desease, it's very painful to consider her in this situation because, she was a very iconic, beautifull and so humble personality, pray for her health

@g26s239

I just looked that up. A cousin of mine had a type of lymphoma. She recovered but had to take maintenance meds after remission for a while. Cancers are awful.

@SeanONilbud

Pray for a packet of peanuts too.

@bruh-wc1gs

Amen♥️
