Un An D'Amour
Nino Ferrer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je sais que c'est fini
Je sais mais je t'en prie
Écoute-moi quand même
Écoute-moi car je t'aime
Depuis qu'on s'est quittés
Je suis seul étonné
Mes jours sont tellement lents
Et vides et obsédant
Je suis seul
La nuit vient
Et je me souviens

D'un an d'amour
Les matins indolents
Les soirs de pluie
Les vacances et le vent
Et ton corps blond
De soleil et de sable
Un an d'amour
C'est irréparable
Un an d'amour
C'est irréparable

Maintenant ce n'est plus moi
Un autre est avec toi
Et toi tu lui souris
Comme tu m'avais souri
Et ce sourire tu vois
Je te hais pour cela
Je te hais mais je t'aime
Au fond ça revient au même
Je t'aime
Le comprends-tu
T'ai-je vraiment perdue

Un an d'amour
Des années de regrets
Des feuilles mortes
Et le temps passé
L'automne emporte
Les rêves et les fables
Un an d'amour
C'est irréparable
L'automne emporte
Les rêves et les tables




Un an d'amour
C'est irréparable

Overall Meaning

Nino Ferrer's "C'est Irréparable" is a song about a lost love and the feelings of regret and nostalgia that come with it. The song opens with the singer acknowledging that the relationship is over but still urging their former partner to listen to them. They ask for this opportunity because they are still deeply in love. The singer goes on to describe how they have been feeling since the breakup – their days are slow, empty and even obsessive. They have been thinking about the past and the memories that they shared with their former partner. They remember the lazy mornings, rainy evenings, the vacations, and sunny beaches where they used to spend time together. The singer is haunted by the thought of being alone while their partner has moved on to someone else. They are filled with resentment towards their former partner for smiling at someone else the way they used to smile at them. They conclude the song by lamenting that one year of love that they have lost is truly irreplaceable.


This song is a classic example of the chanson genre, characterized by poetic, lyrical songs that often deal with themes of love and loss. The haunting, melancholic melody evokes a sense of sadness and longing. Ferrer's smooth, sensual voice switches between a pleading tone and a tone of bitterness and resignation, as he sings about love, regret, and heartbreak.

Jamais reconnu pour son immense talent Nino

@berthuys7347

Une des plus belles chansons françaises de tous les temps, je l'adore.

@staslurik

Wow! And this song is French ! Love it!

@donatellaborciccibelloni5328

Mina à chanté cette chanson aussi en Turque et Japonais. Au Japon sa version en japonais à vendu plus de 2 millions d'exemplaires et est devenue un classique showa que'est encore très populaire. Meme succès en Espagne et Amerique latine. Faut dire que Almodovar à choisi une chanson de Mina étant lui meme un grand admirateur. Dans un autre film il avait déjà inclus "Esperame en el Cielo" de Mina.

@abdelkhaleksidhoum3999

Vous avez entièrement raison !!!!

@danielagorla1265

È vero !. Mina ha raggiunto l'apice con la sua interpretazione. In tutto il mondo. Resta il fatto che il genio di Ferrer l'ha composta .è stupenda anche la sua versione in francese .che poi è quella originale
.lingua che adoro .!mogol cambiò il testo adattato a italiano venne fuori un capolavoro..Nino un genio non compreso a fondo. Ci manchi 😢

@aiuolaio

Ho amato molto Nino Ferrer cui traspariva la vena malinconica dietro il suo modo di atteggiarsi apparentemente guascone e spensierato. Questa canzone è meravigliosa, cantata in modo molto sentito da un grande autore ed interprete impeccabile. Il testo originale è di gran lunga più bello, evocativo e poetico di quello scritto per Mina

@davidrupp1682

E' vero, il testo originale di Nino é senzaltro piu' bello, é stato adattato egregiamente per Mina, bravissimo ai due, in primis é vero a Nino. Bye

@robertolafuenteandres3468
