L'amour à la française
Les Fatals Picards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember comme tu étais belle, so beautiful with your sac Chanel
Sur les ponts de la Seine, let's do it again, again, again, again,
You gave me a rendez-vous, what is it? what is it?
Je le chercher à toi, dans les rues, je ne suis pas venir car tu ne l'es plus
Je le regarde partout, where are you? My heart is bleeding, Oh I miss you
L'amour à la française, let's do it again, again, again, again,
Et je cours, je cours, je cours, I've lost l'amour, l'amour, l'amour
Je suis perdu, here without you, and I'm crazy, seul à Paris
Je tu le manque, sans toi I can't, et sous la pluie, I feel sorry
Champs Elysées, alone, la nuit, le Moulin Rouge, I feel guilty
Et le soleil est plus brûlant que les oiseaux, et dans le ciel, I miss you so
A souvenir, a rendez-vous, des fleurs des fleurs des fleurs for you
Je tu le manque, sans toi I can't, et sous la pluie, I feel sorry
Je suis perdu here without you, and I'm crazy, seul à Paris
I remember jolie demoiselle, the last summer, comme tu étais belle
I remember, nous, la tour Eiffel, so beautiful with your sac Chanel
L'amour à la française, c'est que je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
I give you a rendez-vous
Et je cours, je cours, je cours, I've lost l'amour, l'amour, l'amour
Je suis perdu, here without you and I'm crazy, seul à Paris
Je tu le manque, sans toi I can't et sous la pluie, I feel sorry
Champs Elysées, alone, la nuit, le Moulin Rouge, I feel guilty
Et le soleil est plus brûlant que les oiseaux et dans le ciel, I miss you so
A souvenir, a rendez-vous, des fleurs des fleurs des fleurs for you
Je tu le manque, sans toi I can't et sous la pluie, I feel sorry
Je suis perdu here without you…
The song "L'amour à la française" by Les Fatals Picards is a love song about a French couple who spent a summer together in Paris. The singer reminisces about their time together, particularly their visits to the Eiffel Tower and walks along the River Seine. He describes his lover as beautiful, with a Chanel handbag. However, the relationship has ended and the singer is searching for his lost love in the streets of Paris. He misses her terribly and feels lost without her, even though he is in one of the most romantic cities in the world. The song expresses feelings of longing, regret, and heartbreak, all set against the backdrop of the City of Lights.
The lyrics capture the essence of a passionate French romance, with images of flowers, sunsets, and iconic Parisian landmarks. The repetition of the phrase "let's do it again" emphasizes the desire to relive the experiences shared with the loved one. The use of French phrases throughout the song adds to the sense of nostalgia and longing. The chorus, "l'amour à la française" (love, French style), highlights the unique and passionate nature of French romance, which the singer hopes to recapture.
