Je L'Aime
Sylvie Vartan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ce que l'on pense m'est égal
Rien d'autre n'est important
Que de vivre le présent
Je l'aime
J'ai des courages insoupçonnés
A en braver le monde entier
Pensez ce que vous voudrez
Je l'aime
{Refrain:}
Oh Mamma, je l'aime {x3}
Je l'aime
Depuis que je l'aime
Je n'suis plus la même
Oh Mamma, je l'aime
Je l'aime
Et je n'écoute plus que moi
Je n'ai plus que l'amour pour loi
Je déchire ce qui s'écrit
Je relève tous les défis
Je l'aime
J'ai la jalousie des tigresses
Des trésors cachés de tendresse
Qu'on me juge ou qu'on me blesse
Je ne suis plus que caresses
Je l'aime
{au Refrain}
Oh je l'aime
Oh je l'aime
Oh Mamma, je l'aime
Je l'aime
The song "Je L'Aime" by Sylvie Vartan is a declaration of love that transcends all worldly judgments and expectations. The singer expresses that she does not care about others' opinions and thoughts, as the only thing that matters to her is living the present moment with her loved one. She declares her love openly and without fear, bravely facing the challenges that come with it, and daring to be herself.
The singer recognizes that her love for her partner has transformed her into a new person. She is more confident and self-assured, and she only listens to her heart's desires. She is willing to fight for her love and protect it fiercely, like a tigress defending her cubs. She is not afraid to show her vulnerability and tenderness, regardless of others' judgments or criticisms.
Overall, "Je L'Aime" speaks to the power of love in its purest, most unconditional form. It shows us that love can transform us and bring out our deepest strengths and vulnerabilities, and that we should never be afraid to follow our hearts, even if it means defying society's norms and expectations.
