Amour
L' Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La nuit je crois entendre au loin comme un appel, un cri
C'est ton cri
C'est ma vie
Et tu chantes ton remords
Moi c'est mon regret qui me poursuit
Je sens revenir les paroles sur mes mélodies
Tant d'amour perdu
Tant d'émotions inconnues
Tant de moments disparus dans le temps qui passe
Tant d'amour perdu
Tant de caresses retenues
Tant d'espoirs déçus
Par le temps qui passe
Et ne reviendra plus
Et le monde me renvoie son image qui pleure et qui rit
Les gens me renvoient leurs messages, leurs visages dans lesquels je lis
Leur vie
On veut tous tout donner, tout promettre, tout laisser tomber
On veut tous oublier, disparaître, tout recommencer
Mais la nuit
Nous ramène soumis
Tant d'amour perdu
Tant d'émotions inconnues
Tant de moments disparus dans le temps qui passe
Tant d'amour perdu
Tant de caresses retenues
Tant d'espoirs déçus
Par le temps qui passe
Et ne reviendra plus
Tant d'amour
Tant de solitude
Tant d'amour
Tant de solitude
Tant de solitude
The lyrics of L's song "Amour" are a reflection on lost love and loneliness. The first verse captures the feeling of being lost in the unknown streets at night, where the sound of a distant call or cry is heard - an illusion that resonates with the singer's own life. L sings about his remorse, while his partner sings about regret. Both feel their past love re-emerging in their minds as they hear it through the melodies of their songs. The chorus repeats the phrase "so much lost love, so many unknown emotions", and "so many moments lost in time that won't come back", emphasizing the central theme of the song.
As the world gets busier and distractions are everywhere, people's messages, faces, and their lives are projected onto the singer, reminding him what he has lost. L talks about the human desire to give everything, to make promises, to forget and start again, but the night brings back the reality of his loneliness. The final chorus again emphasizes the dual themes of lost love and solitude.
Overall, "Amour" is a melancholic song that captures the bittersweet memories of a past love that cannot be forgotten, the painful reminders of solitude, and the relentless passage of time.
