Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je ne crois plus à rien parfois, parfois
Mais que peuvent changer les hommes, les lois, les lois
Toi, tu as changé mon destin, mille fois, mille fois
Tout l'monde veut changer le monde
Mais personne ne change personne
Pourtant c'est un nouveau monde
Au fond de moi tu façonnes
Personnes n'a séché mes pleurs sauf toi, sauf toi
Tu as la gomme des douleurs pour moi, pour moi
Mais que peuvent changer les hommes, les lois, les lois
Toi tu as changé mon destin mille fois, mille fois
Tout l'monde veut changer le monde
Mais personne ne change personne
Pourtant c'est un nouveau monde
Qu'au fond de moi tu façonnes
Au fond de moi tu façonnes
Pour nous, pour nous, juste toi et moi
Pour nous, pour nous, juste toi et moi
The song "Sauf toi" by Florent Pagny is a love song that expresses the singer's trust and belief in his significant other, and how much she has impacted his life. The repeated line "Je ne crois plus en personne, sauf toi" means "I don't believe in anyone anymore, except for you." This phrase is meant to imply that the singer has lost faith in other people, potentially due to bad experiences or heartbreak, but he still has complete trust and faith in his lover.
The following lines in the chorus, "Tout l'monde veut changer le monde / Mais personne ne change personne" mean "Everyone wants to change the world, but no one changes anyone." This is a more cynical view on the world, and it suggests that while people may want to make a difference, they ultimately fail to do so. However, the singer believes that his lover has been able to change him and his destiny multiple times. The last line of the chorus, "Au fond de moi tu façonnes" means "You shape the new world inside of me," which reflects how the singer has been transformed by their love.
Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges how his lover has been the only one there for him during times of sadness and difficulty. He sings "Personnes n'a séché mes pleurs sauf toi" which means "No one has dried my tears except for you." This line demonstrates the depth of the singer's trust and dependency on his lover.
Overall, the song "Sauf toi" is a poignant ode to the power of love and how it can transform and change a person's life for the better.
