Jan 20, 1984 in Fort-de-France, Martinique,
French neo-soul chanteuse Perle Lama embraced the traditions of American R&B and Caribbean zouk to win critical and commercial success. Born January 20, 1984, in Fort-de-France, Martinique, Lama was just 14 years old when she claimed top honors in the JM Harmony Contest. The prize, a recording contract, yielded her 1999 debut LP, Challenger, with the single "Akwarel la Sé Taw" winning the Best Zouk category at the annual SACEM Awards. The 2001 follow-up, Perle Etc., expanded Lama's musical reach, channeling reggae influences to win two more SACEM prizes, including Best Female Singer. Lama nevertheless spent the next five years out of the spotlight, finally resurfacing in the autumn of 2006 with Mizikasoleil. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
Notre amour
Perle Lama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'suis pas d'accord bébé
C'est ce que tu penses
Han non, non, non, hey
Ce soir tu joues au policier
On t'a dit que j'étais suspect
Donne-moi le phone tel
Ils jouissent de tes déceptions
Alors qu'ils payent leurs notes à la réception
Donne-moi leurs e-mails
Que j'leurs demande de quoi ils se mêlent
Si tu m'dis que c'est fini à cause des on-dit
Ne te retiens pas
Si tu crois tout ce qu'on te dit
C'est que notre amour ne suffit pas
Si tout ce temps qu'on passe ensemble ne sert à rien
Je t'en pris pars, je t'en pris pars
Notre amour sera plus fort que les mots des jaloux
Notre amour sera toujours aussi beau qu'au premier jour (premier jour)
Notre amour fera taire ceux qui veulent se mettre entre nous
Notre amour est au dessus des mauvaises pensées
Ca fait pas mal de temps maintenant qu'on s'connaît
Passé beaucoup d'épreuves et ça je reconnais
On s'est connu et j'avais un rond dans l'porte-monnaie
Il est vrai qu'on a connu bien des saisons
Où je souffrais et tu souffrais sans raison
On jouait avec nos sentiments sans aucun ressentiment
Et ça juste pour semer du vent
Si tu m'dis que c'est fini à cause des on-dit
Ne te retiens pas
Si tu crois tout ce qu'on te dit
C'est que notre amour ne suffit pas
Et si tout ce temps qu'on passe ensemble ne sert à rien
Je t'en pris pars, je t'en pris pars
Notre amour sera plus fort que les mots des jaloux (baby)
Notre amour sera toujours aussi beau qu'au premier jour
Notre amour fera taire ceux qui veulent se mettre entre nous (entre nous)
Notre amour est au dessus des mauvaises pensées
Notre amour sera plus fort que les mots des jaloux
Notre amour sera toujours aussi beau qu'au premier jour (toujours aussi beau)
Notre amour fera taire ceux qui veulent se mettre entre nous (entre nous)
Notre amour est au dessus des mauvaises pensées
Ce serait vraiment dommage que ça se termine ainsi
Réfléchis d'avantage accordons nous un sursis
Donnons nous une chance, pardonnons nous nos offenses
Ce serait vraiment dommage que ça se termine ainsi
Réfléchis d'avantage accordons nous un sursis
Donnons nous une chance, pardonnons nous nos offenses
Notre amour sera plus fort que les mots des jaloux (notre amour)
Notre amour sera toujours aussi beau qu'au premier jour (aussi beau)
Notre amour fera taire ceux qui veulent se mettre entre nous (notre amour, notre amour)
Notre amour est au dessus des mauvaises pensées
Notre amour sera plus fort que les mots des jaloux
Notre amour sera toujours aussi beau qu'au premier jour (toujours aussi beau)
Notre amour fera taire ceux qui veulent se mettre entre nous (entre nous)
Notre amour est au dessus des mauvaises pensées
In Perle Lama's song "Notre Amour", the singer is trying to convince her lover not to believe the rumors and gossip that they have heard about their relationship. She sings that they have been through a lot together and their love should be enough to overcome any obstacles. She goes on to say that their love is stronger than the words of jealous people and that they should give their relationship another chance.
The lyrics show the vulnerability and uncertainty that can come with being in a relationship where others have an opinion on the matter. However, the song also highlights the power of love to conquer negativity and to endure through time. The repeated phrase "Notre amour sera plus fort que les mots des jaloux" (Our love will be stronger than the words of the jealous) emphasizes the strength of their love and their determination to make it work.
Overall, "Notre Amour" is a song about the challenges that can arise in a relationship and the importance of trusting oneself and one's partner despite what others may say.
