When singer Bettina Mischke and keyboard player Roland Grosch decided to found Jazzamor in 2001 they perhaps did not imagine that their minimalistic lounge arrangements would take off so quickly. Two albums in three years have highlighted their productivity as they firm out their smoothe 60s jazzy sounds in Europe's main languages. The albums' commercial success have decided the pair on plunging into the live circuit with the same passion they brought to their recordings.
In 2006 they released their third studio album "Travel... (In Order Not To Arrive)". A trip around the world in music. Each song is placed at a special setting in the world. Sometimes it's the language, other times it's an instrument, a rhythm or a story that brings us on a journey to a distant country or a city. Sometimes it's just a wishful dream, other times tales of being there.

Jazzamor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Les pigeons volent, les enfants rient au sortir de l'école.
Je pense à toi. Je t'aime, oh je t'aime ...
L'amour était si belle si sensuelle ...,
je sens encore ton souffle dans mon cou et sur mes lèvres.
L'amour me fait trembler ..., oh je t'aime ...
mhh je t'aime, mhh je t'aime, mhh je t'aime, mhh je t'aime ...
J'ai mis mon coeur fragile dans tes mains si douces,
un jour au mois de mai on s'est aimé
au champs de blé, je t'aime, oh je t'aime ...
L'amour était si belle si sensuelle,
je sens encore ton souffle dans mon cou et sur mes lèvres ...
L'amour me fait trembler ..., oh je t'aime ...
mhh je t'aime, mhh je t'aime, mhh je t'aime, mhh je t'aime ...
mhh je t'aime, mhh je t'aime, mhh je t'aime, mhh je t'aime ...
mhh je t'aime, je t'aime...
The lyrics of Jazzamor's song "Je T'Aime" (which translates to "I love you" in English) describe the singer walking through the streets of Paris, a city that is gray and devoid of color. However, despite the monochrome surroundings, the singer's thoughts are consumed by their love for someone. The lyrics indicate that the love they experienced was beautiful and sensual, leaving an impression on every inch of their body, evidenced by the lingering memory of their lover's breath on their lips and neck. The depth of their love for their partner is expressed in the repetition of "Je t'aime" and the description of the singer's heart being placed into their lover's hands.
The lyrics also describe a time in May when the couple professed their love for each other, standing in a field of wheat. The imagery of the field of wheat is a common trope in romantic literature, signifying the joy and abundance of a healthy relationship. The singer's repeated statement of "Je t'aime" showcases their intense emotions and the strength of their love, while the incorporation of French language adds to the romantic mood of the song.
