Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to the song Chanson D'amour by Manhattan Transfer express the joy and pure pleasure of listening to a beautiful love song. The phrase "Chanson d'amour" translates to "love song" in English, and the repetition of the phrase throughout the song emphasizes the power of music to evoke strong emotions, especially when it comes to love. The "ra da da da da" and "more and more" are evocative of the feeling of being swept away by the music, as if the listeners are transported to a world where only love and the song exist, and everything else fades away.
The use of French in the lyrics further adds to the romantic and dreamy atmosphere of the song. The phrase "je t'adore" means "I adore you" in English, and it is a common phrase used to express deep feelings of admiration or love. When paired with the Chanson d'amour, it creates a sense of longing and desire in the listener, as if they too want to experience the kind of love described in the song.

They did…..this is a remake from a 1956 song. Oh, and also people have been killing each other when music like this was being made.
