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.
Une derniere fois encore
Garou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et j'y pense chaque instant
C'est plus dur qu'il ne semble
Ça passe pas avec le temps
Comme on manque d'une drogue
Je sais pas
Rien d'autre ne compte
Pourtant je te jure
Je m'en irai c'est sûr…mais
Laisse-moi te toucher
Donne-moi ton corps
Une dernière fois encore
Je te cherche partout
Je sais bien, c'est pas normal
On me prend pour un fou
C'est juste que ça fait de plus en plus mal
Si tu me voyais
Je perdrais toutes mes chances
C'est toi qui me défais
Et tu me donnerais moins qu'une dernière danse ?
Je partirai, je partirai, je promets
Donne-moi, donne-moi encore
Une dernière, une dernière fois
Je tombe à genoux, à genoux
Donne-moi une dernière fois….
Laisse-moi te toucher
Donne-moi ton corps
Une dernière fois, une dernière fois encore
Donne-moi ton corps
Je partirai, je partirai, je te promets
Je te promets,
Une dernière fois…
Garou's song "Une dernière fois encore" is a poignant ballad that portrays the pain and desperation of a man who is unable to let go of his love. The first verse suggests that the memories of the person he loves haunt him every moment, and despite the passage of time, the pain does not subside. He feels a constant need to seek solace in alcohol, hoping it will numb his pain, but nothing seems to help. The second verse illustrates his desperation and obsession with finding his love, even if it is not rational. He fears rejection and that his chances of winning her back may be gone. However, he is willing to do anything to be with her again, even if it is for one last time.
The chorus is a cry for help, a plea to his love to let him touch her once more, to have her body one last time. Despite the knowledge that he needs to let go and move on, the pain is too real, too strong. The repetition of the words "Je partirai, je partirai, je promets" emphasises that he knows he needs to leave - it is his promise to himself and his love. However, he cannot resist the temptation of having her one last time. The song ends with a desperate plea to be with his love, even if it is just for one final moment.
Overall, the lyrics capture the emotional turmoil of a man who is unable to let go of his love. The desperation, the pain, the obsession - all of it is tangible and raw, making this song a powerful and emotional experience.

Quand je pense à toi, je tremble
Whenever I think of you, I shiver with emotion
Et j'y pense chaque instant
And I think of you every second
C'est plus dur qu'il ne semble
It's harder than it seems
Ça passe pas avec le temps
Time doesn't heal this feeling
Comme on manque d'une drogue
Like we're addicted to a drug
Je sais pas
I don't know
Rien d'autre ne compte
Nothing else matters
Je reprends un verre et je me noie
I take another drink and drown in my thoughts
Pourtant je te jure
Yet I swear to you
Je m'en irai c'est sûr…mais
I will definitely leave...but
Laisse-moi te toucher
Let me touch you
Donne-moi ton corps
Give me your body
Une dernière fois encore
One last time, again
Je te cherche partout
I search for you everywhere
Je sais bien, c'est pas normal
I know it's not normal
On me prend pour un fou
People think I'm crazy
C'est juste que ça fait de plus en plus mal
It's just that it hurts more and more
Si tu me voyais
If you could see me
Je perdrais toutes mes chances
I would lose all my chances
C'est toi qui me défais
It's you who undoes me
Et tu me donnerais moins qu'une dernière danse ?
And would you give me less than one last dance?
Je partirai, je partirai, je promets
I will leave, I will leave, I promise
Donne-moi, donne-moi encore
Give me, give me once more
Une dernière, une dernière fois
One last time, one last time
Je tombe à genoux, à genoux
I fall to my knees, to my knees
Donne-moi une dernière fois….
Give me one last time...
Laisse-moi te toucher
Let me touch you
Donne-moi ton corps
Give me your body
Une dernière fois, une dernière fois encore
One last time, once more
Donne-moi ton corps
Give me your body
Je partirai, je partirai, je te promets
I will leave, I will leave, I promise you
Je te promets,
I promise you,
Une dernière fois…
One last time...

When I think of you, I tremble
And I think about it every moment
It's harder than it seems
It does not happen with time
Like we miss a drug
I do not know
Nothing else matters
I take a step back glass and I'm drowning
Yet I swear
I'll go for sure ... but
Let me touch you
Give me your body
One last time again
I'm looking for you everywhere
I know, it's not normal
They take me For a madman
It's just that it gets worse and worse
If you saw me
I'd lose all my chances
It's you who undoes me
And you give me less than one last dance?

Невообпрзимый голос, и видеоряд прекрасен. Вот это талант от Бога. Красота, обояния, доброта, все осталось при нем не смотря на бешенную популярность.
