Chorale

Je l'imagine
Même quand elle est bien loin de moi
Et je l'admire
Drôle de question si on demande pourquoi

1

Tous mes rêves d'or se sont envolés
Vers son visage étincelant
Je l'aime et je l'admire
Mais cependant
Le vent nous prend et nous emporte
Bien loin du temps des amoureux
Je l'aime déjà mais cependant

Chorale

Je l'imagine
Même quand elle est bien loin de moi
Et je l'admire
Drôle de question si on demande pourquoi

2
Elle est la source de mon inspiration
Je l'aimerai jusqu'au tombeau
Et elle peut même gâcher ma vie
Quand elle ne veut même pas comprendre
Que mon vieux coeur désespéré
N'aimerait que lui appartenir

Chorale

Je l'imagine
Même quand elle est bien loin de moi
Et je l'admire
Drôle de question si on demande pourquoi
(Bis)

Je l'imagine {4fois}

Overall Meaning

The song "Je l'imagine" by Jacques Sauveur Jean tells the story of a man who is deeply in love with a woman, even though she is far away from him. Despite the distance, he admires her greatly and cannot stop thinking about her. The song begins with the man stating that all of his golden dreams have flown away towards her bright and shining face. Even though he loves and admires her, he acknowledges that the wind can take them far away from each other, out of reach from the lovers' time. He loves her with all his heart and desires to belong to her entirely, even though it seems unlikely.

In the second verse, the singer reveals that the woman is the source of his inspiration, and he will love her until the end of time. However, he also admits that she has the power to ruin his life when she refuses to understand him. He implores her to realize that his heart is desperate to belong to her and her alone. The song ends with the chorus repeating the statement that he imagines her even when she is far away and admires her deeply. This song is an ode to love's power and the struggle that one faces when trying to be with the one they love.
