Discovered by Luc Plamondon singing American blues tunes in small Sherbrooke bars, he was drafted by Plamondon to play the role of Quasimodo in his musical Notre-Dame de Paris, making him a star. After the musical, he managed to launch a successful international pop music career in Quebec, France, and many other European countries. His looks and hoarse voice, as well as the virility that he combines with a boyish niceness, brought many to see him as a major modern day sex symbol.
Burning
Garou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't think I ever will
Am I in love with you?
Well I don't know still
It may sound strange but I'm warning you
I may not be that nice Maybe, baby
I'm a heartbreaker
heartbreaker
But I'm burning Cause you set my soul on fire
Girl I don't know what I'll do
Cause I'm burning I am burning with desire
Yes I'm burning, and it's all because of you
We can't be together
I'm not that kind of a guy
I'll be gone and lost forever
And you won't know why
Don't get me wrong I'm only warning you
You'll be on your own Maybe, baby
I'm a heartbreaker
heartbreaker
Heart of stone
But I'm burning Cause you set my soul on fire
Girl, I don't know what I'll do
Cause I'm burning I'm burning with desire
Yes I am burning and it's all because of you
Because of you
The lyrics to Garou's song "Burning" express conflicting emotions of desire and warning. The singer is unsure if they are in love with the person in question, yet recognizes their potential to hurt them. The chorus repeats the words "heartbreaker" and "heart of ice" or "heart of stone", indicating a tendency to push others away. However, the singer is also burning with desire and cannot resist the person's effect on their soul. The song ends on a note of sorrowful resignation, with the acknowledgment that they cannot be together, but still burning with desire because of that person.
The lyrics to "Burning" reveal the complexity of human emotions and the struggle to reconcile conflicting feelings. The song reflects the inner turmoil of someone who is drawn to another, even though they recognize their own flaws and potential to hurt others. The use of fire imagery to convey desire and burning passion underscores the intensity of the emotions at play.

"Я предупреждаю тебя
Я могу оказаться не таким милым
Может, детка, я разбиваю сердца
Разбиваю сердца
Ледяное сердце
Но я горю, я горю
Так как ты разожгла мою душу
Я горю от желания
И это все из-за тебя
Я не такой парень
Я уйду и потеряюсь навечно
И ты не узнаешь почему
Не пойми меня неправильно, я лишь предупреждаю тебя
Ты останешься одна.."
