Lise
Jean-Louis Aubert Lyrics

In Jean-Louis Aubert's melancholic song "Lise", the singer expresses his deep longing and suffering for his love, Lise. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and powerful emotions that convey the singer's pain and heartbreak. The opening lines, "La nuit est là oh mon bel amour, Douce et très pure", describe the peaceful and pure atmosphere of the night, a sharp contrast to the turmoil the singer feels within himself. From the break of dawn, the singer has been tormented, and he describes a physical pain that he feels in his body, which seems to worsen with each passing night.

The singer finds some solace in wearing Lise's bracelet against his skin, perhaps as a reminder of her or a way of holding onto her. Despite this comfort, tears still fall from his closed eyes, as he can't help but feel the pain of being separated from Lise. He feels like his body is breaking apart without her, and the only thing that brings him happiness is thinking about her. The final lines, "Je pense à toi gentille Lise, Je suis heureux" (I think of you kind Lise, I am happy), show that even in his agony, the singer finds joy in his love for Lise.
