Come What May
Moulin_Rouge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.

Everything about this movie. The colors. The production. The cast. Where the heck is the required viewing and analysis of all the history brimming? The pure talents of the duet we're listening to here?
I almost feel moved to tears at every listen.
Why do I need to pay for ASMR streamers? THIS SONG IS A FULL BODY EXPERIENCE. Get out of my head but come back because I want you to stay.
It's absolutely unfair how many people went into this and how I can't find every single..
Oh wait I can just watch the credits of the movie again. :)
Of course the voices.. pristine. The reality conveyed with absolute grace. The musical accompaniment. The imagination of seeing the movie play inside my head.
If I don't take time to sit down and watch the movie from Beginning to End I'm missing out. I don't care if I started it last night and fell asleep. I'm starting it over again! It's a masterpiece that you don't watch commercials through. It was a Gone With The Wind deserving an intermission because I COULDN'T get up to get a drink no matter how thirsty. I couldn't do anything but press pause because EVERY ounce of the visual and audio coordination... Geez. Just. Go Watch Chicago with Geer, too. Those ladies rocked it and Kidman did it by herself. She Marilyn Monrowed all over the place. Go watch her in The Others. You Tell me about her vocal and emotional range. Ewan, we all love you. But you here and that you in that famous movie franchise? LOL. People who missed you here missed out on why we wanted you in your own show in the first place. But you know, you'd be nothing without the girl.

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I´ve never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I´m loving 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
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn´t seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there´s no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I´ll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time
Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

How anybody could hate this movie is beyond me. It was such a well-written, well performed film. All of the actors and actresses were right where they needed to be in their roles, and the flow was magnificent. This has been and will always be one of my very favorite movies.

Baz Luhrmann isn't anyone to scoff at, his awards are pages upon pages. Perhaps you don't know true talent?

I love this movie too, but I understand why some people don't like it. The first time I saw it I had no idea what was going on! I like it more every time I see it though 😍

This was my wedding song. As a wedding day surprise for my wife I had "Come What May" engraved on our rings. 10 years later and everytime I hear this song I can picture her walking down the isle towards me...and I smile.
