Three years after the release of her first album, which went gold and platinum, she released her second album, Carpe Diem, which launched the career of this singer-songwriter in French-speaking countries, especially in Quebec. Within three weeks, the album went gold. She then took her music on tour, performing to over 150,000 admirers, while her album went three times platinum. She was especially appreciated by the Canadian public and music industry. In 1995, she was awarded two Félix awards by Quebec's association of recording artists (ADISQ), namely Best Female Vocalist of the year (by popular vote), and Best Live Performance of the year.
Then, things began to pick up!
In 1996, Walt Disney Studios immortalized Lara's voice. In addition to incarnating Esmeralda, the heroine of the animated feature The Hunchback of Notre Dame, she sang the theme song ("Que Dieu aide les exclus") on the film's soundtrack.
In October, her third album "Pure" went platinum in less than two weeks. Thanks to this album, she won the 1997 Félix for Album of the Year. The same year, "Pure" was launched in France where over two million albums were sold within two years. Thanks to this resounding success, which eloquently expressed the affection of her loving and faithful fans, Lara was awarded the prize for New Artist of the Year at the prestigious French gala Les Victoires de la Musique. This was in February 1998, a few months before the concert tour in several French cities that led to the recording of an album (Lara Fabian Live) in March 1999 which went platinum a few months later. Lara Fabian was praised by music lovers and critics alike...
In addition to receiving the Félix for Quebec Artist Having the Most Impact Outside Quebec, she was voted Personality of the Year by the magazine Paris Match, which featured her on its front cover. While her fame grew, she was honored at the World Music Awards for Best Selling Artist for "Pure". Between appearances in Europe, Lara often returned to New York City and San Francisco to record her first album in English. She wrote or co-wrote most of the songs, working with Rick Allison and producers Walter Afanasieff (Mariah Carey), Pat Leonard (Madonna), Sam Watters (ex-Color Me Badd) and Brian Rawling (Cher's "I Believe").
Produced by Sony Records, the self-titled album was launched in May 2000 on America's most popular morning television show, NBC's Today Show. Invitations poured in, and Lara Fabian appeared on The Tonight Show, The View, Access Hollywood, Craig Kilborn, Entertainment Tonight...
The album's first excerpt, I will Love Again, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Music charts and settled in for 58 weeks! Thanks to this resounding success, she received the Félix for Quebec Artist Having the Most Impact in a Language other than French. The songs on the album thrilled audiences worldwide.
In February 2001, Love By Grace became the theme song of the lead couple in the Brazilian soap opera Laços de Familia, broadcast by TV Globo for millions of viewers in Brazil and Portugal. For several weeks, the song was number 1 on most Brazilian and Portuguese radio stations. Love by Grace generated an incredible frenzy around the artist… You just don't top the billboards of Portuguese speaking countries everyday!
After From Lara with Love, her first American TV special broadcast by PBS, the singer-songwriter participated in the very popular WTKU New York radio special, Miracle on 34th Street, where many popular artists appeared, including Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin and Toni Braxton.
Shortly after, when her self-titled English-language album was released in Asia, Lara scored a number one hit on the Taiwanese top ten, a great moment for the artist. Many were particularly impressed with the song Light of my Life (found only on the Asian edition of the album), which she interpreted with Lee-Hom, Asia's top male Chinese-speaking vocalist. This song was included in the movie feature China Strike Force, starring newcomer Lee-Horn along with Aaron Kwok, a box-office idol throughout Asia.
Eagerly awaited in several cities throughout the world, Lara has brilliantly dealt with her growing popularity by frequently appearing abroad. The artist has performed in several European and American capitals, and has enjoyed every minute of her travels. Solid gold in Canada, Germany, Switzerland and Norway, Lara Fabian went platinum in Belgium, Brazil and France and triple platinum in Portugal. She enjoyed the longest number 1 run on Billboard's Heatseeker Chart in 2000.
Last May, Lara was awarded yet another prize at the World Music Awards in Monaco, where she sang Adagio. She also returned to New York and Los Angeles to lend her voice to the original soundtracks of two long-awaited international super productions in July 2001: She interpreted the song The Dreams Within, featured in the movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, as well as For Always, the vocal version of the title song of A.I., Steven Spielberg's latest feature.
In addition to a new French-language album in September 2001, Lara Fabian launched the first single on her new album in May, "J'y crois encore", which can be heard on radio stations in Quebec and Europe.
From France to Brazil, in Italy, Belgium, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Japan and the United States, Lara Fabian has established her reputation as a determined singer-songwriter. Barely 10 years after the release of her first album, Lara has conquered the hearts of millions of fans throughout the world, whose fervor is equaled only by their affection for this talented and authentic artist. Eight million records sold worldwide to this day testify to her achievement.
Her best-selling European DVD and CD, En Toute Intimité, released in October 2003, was an intimate, acoustic piano-based collection showcasing Ms. Fabian performing songs in English, Italian and French.
After En Toute Intimité Lara Fabian released her 2nd English language album called "A wonderful life". Lara Fabian's latest release is an album in the French language with the title "Toutes Les Femmes en Moi", released in May 2009.
2010: "Tour Les Femmes Font Leur Show", Mademoiselle Zhivago
Throughout the first half of 2010, Fabian embarked on a European tour of concerts, throughout France, Switzerland, and Belgium, incorporating the main repertoire of her last album "Toutes Les Femmes En Moi" along with some classic and fan favorites. She also performed again in Eastern Europe, with a more acoustic set (piano-voice), and included English recordings from the album Every Woman in Me. In September 2010, she finally released her 2009 album "Toutes Les Femmes En Moi" in Québec. She also recorded the album "Nuit Magique" with Canadian singer Coral Egan.

Si Tu M'Aimes
Lara Fabian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tell my heart to forget you and to move away
Not to break anymore
But, oh, no matter
What I say
You're so deep in my mind
There's no way to leave this love behind
I believe I could go on and find someone to
Rest upon anyone, anyone
Soon I found
There was no other
There you are
Framed against the sky
You are my life and I pray for when
You will be mine
To love again
I see the rain in the sky
And I see your face
Through every tear that I cry
With every breath and every sound
I can hear another voice and swear that you're around
And every word is clear
'Cause I know
The memory won't let go
Until you're mine
To love again
Who's to say what lives in the past
Who's to say that love won't last
Time's been standing still
Waiting so patiently until
Until that one day when
When I will have you
To love again
And there you are
Framed against the sky
You are my life
And I pray for when
You will be mine
To love again
The lyrics to Lara Fabian's song "To Love Again" are about the struggle of letting go of a past love, despite best efforts to move on. The singer sings about how she tells herself every night and day to forget this love and move on, but finds it impossible because it is so deeply ingrained in her mind. She tries to find solace in the idea of resting upon someone else, but ultimately realizes that this love is the only one for her. Despite trying to forget, the memory of this love won't let go until they are reunited and able to love again.
The singer goes on to describe how they see reminders of this love in everything, even in the rain and every tear that they cry. They can hear the voice of this love around them and every word is clear as if they were still there. The singer recognizes that time has been standing still, patiently waiting for the day they will be reunited and able to love again. They pray for this day when they can finally call this love their own once again.
Overall these lyrics convey the message that love is strong and it can be difficult to forget, even when we try our best. But when love is meant to be, time will bring us back to where we belong.
Line by Line Meaning
Every night every day
On a daily basis, even during the night,I attempt to erase you from my heart and move away so that I will not get hurt anymore
I tell my heart to forget you and to move away
I try to convince my heart to let go of the feelings I have for you and forget you entirely
Not to break anymore
I don't want my heart to get hurt anymore from the memories of you I still hold on to
But, oh, no matter
However, regardless of how much I try to forget about you, I can't seem to do so
What I say
Although I repeatedly tell myself to forget about you and move on
You're so deep in my mind
You are firmly planted in my memory and I can't seem to get you out of my mind
There's no way to leave this love behind
I am unable to move on from this love that I have for you
It used to be
There was a time when I believed
I believe I could go on and find someone to
I once thought I could move on and find someone else
Rest upon anyone, anyone
Anyone who would be willing to be with me
Soon I found
However, as time passed by
There was no other
I realized that there was nobody else like you
There you are
You're still here with me
Framed against the sky
I can see your image clearly in my mind
You are my life and I pray for when
You mean everything to me, and I am hoping for the day
You will be mine
When we will be together as a couple again
To love again
So we can rekindle our love as we had before
I see the rain in the sky
When I see raindrops falling from the sky
And I see your face
I also visualize your countenance
Through every tear that I cry
Even during my daily tears, thoughts of you still fill my mind
With every breath and every sound
With every inhale, and every fluctuation of sound, I'm reminded of you
I can hear another voice and swear that you're around
While listening, I hear your voice in my mind and feel as though you are close by
And every word is clear
Every single word seems to be unambiguous
'Cause I know
Because I'm certain
The memory won't let go
My memories of you keep haunting me
Until you're mine
Until the day we can meet and become mine again
Who's to say what lives in the past
Who can truly understand what happened in the past?
Who's to say that love won't last
Who can predict if our love will go on and never falter?
Time's been standing still
It feels as though time has been standing still waiting for this moment to come
Waiting so patiently until
Patiently waiting until the day we will be reunited
Until that one day when
The day we can come together as one
When I will have you
When I will finally have you back in my life
You are my life
You are my everything
And I pray for when
And I hope fervently for the time
You will be mine
That you will be mine once again
To love again
So that we can love each other again
