Je sais que tu sais
Henri Salvador Lyrics

The lyrics of Henri Salvador's song Je sais que tu sais express a sense of unspoken love between two individuals. The singer hints that they are in love with the other person, and yet they have never explicitly conveyed these feelings. However, the singer is aware that the other person is knowledgeable of their emotions, they can read it from the singer's expressive eyes, and they understand the singer's thoughts and feelings better than the singer's themselves. This is highlighted in the lines "Mon cœur est pour moi sans mystère, N'est-ce pas que c'est bien vrai, tu suis tous mes rêves pas à pas, Tu lis en moi beaucoup mieux qu'en toi-même, Car tu m'aimes... et tu ne le sais pas," which suggests that the other person has been monitoring and supporting the singer's emotions.

The singer talks about the moments that they shared with the other person, revealing that they never feel bored in their company, and that, even when they are apart, they dream about each other. In the lines "Quand je suis près de toi, jamais je ne m'ennuie, Mais toi, quand je suis là, tu n'es pas triste, Hier soir je t'ai quittée très optimiste, Et j'ai rêvé de toi toute la nuit," the singer is depicting a sense of contentment and satisfaction when they are with the other person.

To conclude, the song's lyrics reflect the quintessential theme of unspoken love and the idea of expressing emotions through non-verbal communication in a romantic relationship, such as body language and eye contact. The singer acknowledges that the person they love knows of their affection, but they do not need an explicit proclamation of love to understand the depth of the longing that the singer harbours in their heart.
