Cet amour
Jacques Sauveur Jean Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cet amour qui m'a essouffler je l'appercevais dans tes yeux
Je l'ai decouvert sur ton corps Un soir au pays des merveilles
Le rythme battait sur mon cœur J'avais peur de te regarder
Le vent bouleverse tes cheuveux Pour moi tout n'etait que mystère

Je me fout de tout(je me fout de tout)
Cet amour me tue
Je me fout de tout Je te veux ce
soir C'est ma dernière volonté(volonté)
Ce soir tout ce qui brûle en moi C'est de t'enlasser dans mes veines
De t'embrasser, de te toucher
De t'expliquer combien je t'aime Je te regarde sans mot dire

Pourtant j'ai envie de parler

De te dire enfin que l'amour
Ça brûle et brûle au fond de moi Rien qu'pour toi
Cet amour me tue
Je me fout de tout Je te veux ce soir C'est ma dernière volonté
J'avais rêver d'un autre monde Depuis t'es entrer dans ma vie
Je me sens très bien dans ce corps même Car il n'ya plus de sollitude
Cet amour me tue(cet amoure tue)
Je me fout de tout(je me fout de tout) (aaaaa)
Je te veux ce soir C'est ma dernière volonté(aaaa) Volonté
Cet amour me tue(cet amour me tue)
Je me fout de tout(je me fout de tout) Je te veux ce soir(aaaa) C'est
ma dernière volonté(aaaa) Volonté
Volonté Volonté(oouuhhh) Volontéeeeeeeee

Overall Meaning

In the first stanza of Jacques Sauveur Jean's song Cet amour, the singer describes how he first became aware of the love that overwhelms him. He noticed it in the other person's eyes and discovered it in their body during a night of wonder together. The rhythm of their connection beats strong in his heart, but he is also frightened to look at the other person, as though something crucially mysterious hangs between them. As the wind tousles their hair, the singer feels gripped by a sense of the unknown.

In the chorus, he declares that this all-consuming love is killing him, and he no longer cares about anything else. He wants to be with the other person tonight, and this is his final wish. He is burning with the desire to hold and kiss them, and to declare his love out loud. In the second stanza, the singer opens up more, saying that he has dreamed of being in a different world, but since meeting this person, he feels better than ever before. He repeats that he doesn't care about anything else, just his wish to be close to his beloved.

Overall, this song is about the heady rush of romantic passion, the sense of joy and terror that comes with giving oneself over to another person. It captures the urgency and intensity of love at its most powerful, and the desperate desire to hold onto it even as it threatens to consume the singer entirely.
