La vie n'est pas un seul garÃ§on
Un seul visage Ã aimer
La vie n'est pas une seule passion
Pour toujours, allumÃ©e

Il faut de tout pour faire un coeur
Et bien peu, pour le dÃ©faire
Mais pourtant devant toi, j'ai peur

J'oublie les leÃ§ons d'hier

Je changerais d'avis
Ce qu'il faut penser
Au fond je sais, que le l'oublierais

Je changerais de vie
Si tu le voulais
Au fond je sais, que je te suivrais

Je changerais d'amis
Si tu y tenais
Tout mon passÃ©, je le quitterais

Si tu m'aimais aussi
Je sais que je pourrais tout laisser
Et tout recommencer

Je changerais d'avis
Et je me dirais que jusqu'Ã toi
Je m'Ã©tais trompÃ©e

Je changerais de vie
Sans me demander oÃ¹ je m'en vais
Si tu m'emmenais

S'il n'y avait qu'une chance
Une sur des milliers pour te garder
Moi je la prendrais

Et tant pis si c'est fou

J'aurais envie de tout avec toi
Si tu pouvais m'aimer

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Françoise Hardy's song "Je changerais d'avis" convey the idea that life is not just one thing, but rather a tapestry of various experiences, emotions, and relationships. The first stanza suggests that life is not just about loving one person or having one passion, as one may need many things to build a heart and very little to break it. However, the singer confesses that despite knowing these truths, she is still afraid and forgets the lessons of yesterday when she is in front of the person she loves. The chorus repeats the phrase "Je changerais d'avis" (I would change my mind), expressing the willingness to abandon her old ways of thinking and living if the person she loves wanted her to.

The second stanza delves into the idea of changing one's life, friends and past for the person she loves. The singer is ready to let go of everything she knew before and start anew with this person, believing that everything would fall into place as long as they love each other. The bridge highlights the theme of taking a leap of faith and making the most out of a small chance to be with someone special, even if it seems crazy to others.

Overall, "Je changerais d'avis" evokes a sense of vulnerability, passion, and emotional surrender in the face of love. The lyrics suggest that the person singing is willing to let go of everything she knew before and take a chance on the person she loves, even if it means risking everything she has ever known.
