Emmanuelle
Herve Roy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qui bat cœur à corps perdu
Mélodie d'amour chantait le corps d'Emmanuelle
Qui vit corps à cœur déçu
Tu es encore
Presque une enfant
Tu n'as connu
Mais à vingt ans
Pour rester sage
L'amour étant
Trop long voyage
Mélodie d'amour chantait le cœur d'Emmanuelle
Qui bat cœur à corps perdu
Mélodie d'amour chantait le corps d'Emmanuelle
Qui vit corps à cœur déçu
L'amour à cœur
Tu l'as rêvé
L'amour à corps
Tu l'as trouvé
Tu es en somme
Devant les hommes
Comme un soupir
Sur leur désir
Tu es si belle
Emmanuelle
Cherche le cœur
Trouve les pleurs
Cherche toujours
Cherche plus loin
Viendra l'amour
Sur ton chemin
Mélodie d'amour chantait le cœur d'Emmanuelle
Qui bat cœur à corps perdu
Mélodie d'amour chantait le corps d'Emmanuelle
Qui vit corps à cœur déçu
The lyrics to Herve Roy's song Emmanuelle tells the story of a young woman named Emmanuelle who is in search of love.

The second stanza explains that although Emmanuelle is still young and has only had one lover so far, she wants to remain chaste and not engage in any more physical relationships. The third and final stanza gives hope that love is still possible for Emmanuelle, but that it might take some time to find it.
Overall, the song is a tender and poignant exploration of love and desire. It speaks to the longing that many individuals feel for a deep and fulfilling connection with another person, as well as the difficulties that can arise when trying to navigate those feelings.
