Come_What_May
Moulin_Rouge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Christian
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings?
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Satine
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace

Both
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste

Satine
It all revolves around you

Both
And there's no mountain to high, no river too wide
Sing out this song, and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather, and stars may collide
But I love you (I love you)
Until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you (I will love you)
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...





Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Moulin Rouge's Come What May portray the profound love and devotion between two individuals, Christian and Satine. Christian expresses his awe and amazement towards Satine, saying that he never knew he could feel the way she makes him feel. He wants to lose himself in her kiss and loves her more and more with each day. He follows the rhythm of his heart, which tells him to give her everything he has. Christian promises to love Satine until the end of time, no matter the ups and downs they face, and he says so with unyielding determination.


Satine sings that the world seems like a perfect place once she has Christian by her side. Her life revolves around him, and it no longer seems like a waste. Together, they can conquer anything, and no obstacle is too big to overcome. Come what may, the storm clouds may gather, and stars may collide, but their love remains unwavering until the end of time. The lyrics suggest that the two have found true love, and nothing can come between them.


The song Come What May was initially written for the 1996 film William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, but it wasn't included in the final soundtrack. It was then repurposed for Moulin Rouge, where it became the film's anthem. The song was written by David Baerwald and Kevin Gilbert, but after Gilbert's death in 1996, Baz Luhrmann hired composer Marius De Vries to complete the song.

Do you know anywhere I can find this version of the song? From time to time I watch this part of the movie and find myself searching for the song.

@WellRaven

@@fatmabetul6427 I mean you could just screen record this and convert it into a mp3 but you will obviously have the crowd gasps etc and it won’t be the full song

@fatmabetul6427

@@WellRaven I did it actually. But like you mentioned its quality is not good enough. Anyway, thank you for your answer. :) Have a nice day. :)
