L'Amour Emporte Tout
Natasha St-Pier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sans qu'on la fasse encore
Qu'on me montre la mer
L'amour qui rentre au port
Qu'on me laisse le temps
De faire n'importe quoi
De faire n'importe quand
Et du ciel qui t'envoie
Qu'on me dise qu'il est bleu
Puisque c'est toi pour moi
Et qu'à ce petit jeu
{Refrain:}
L'amour emporte tout
Les forts comme les fous
L'amour ne laisse rien
Au hasard d'une main
+
L'amour emporte tout
Les anges et les jaloux
L'amour ne laisse rien
Pas même le chagrin
+
L'amour emporte tout...
L'amour emporte tout...
Qu'on me parle de vivre
Pour celui qui me croit
Pour celui qui me livre
Son dernier combat
Qu'on me dise mes droits
Je saurai faire avec
Le coeur au même endroit
Même pas peur de l'échec
Et du ciel qui t'envoie
Dis moi ce que tu veux
Tu sais ce qu'on y voit
Je sais ce qu'on y veut
Ce qu'on y veut
{au Refrain}
L'amour emporte tout... {x2
The lyrics of Natasha St-Pier's song L'amour emporte tout speak of love as a powerful force that conquers everything. The opening lines express a wish for a world without war, a calmer place where love can come home safely. The singer also asks for time to enjoy love, to do anything, anytime, because love is owed to her. The phrase "Cet amour qu'on me doit" suggests that love is not a gift or a choice but an obligation owed to her, an entitlement to be claimed.
In the second verse, the singer talks about living for someone who believes in her, who fights for her, and who entrusts her with their final battle. She is confident that she can handle any situation, knowing her heart is in the right place, and fear does not deter her from taking risks. The reference to heaven and the color blue is a metaphor for the beloved and their connection to nature's beauty. They see the world through love, a vision that transcends reason and logic.
The chorus repeats the song's main message, that love conquers all, both the strong and the foolish, the angels and the jealous, leaving no room for chance or sorrow. The insistence on the line "L'amour emporte tout" reinforces the idea that love is an all-consuming passion that takes over everything in its path.
