These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you
That's all I want to say
I will say the only words I know that you'll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me
Until I do, I'm hoping you will know what I mean
I love you...
I want you, I want you, I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow
Until I do, I'm telling you so you'll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
And I will say the only words I know that you'll understand
My Michelle
The song "Michelle" by The Beatles is a love song sang in French with some English phrases in between. The lyrics describe the strong romantic feelings the singer has for a woman named Michelle. He repeats her name and emphasizes the words that pair well with it. He confesses his love for her, but also acknowledges that language can be a barrier in expressing his emotions to her. Thus, he struggles to find the right words to convey his feelings in a way that she can understand. The repetitive "Michelle, ma belle" line emphasizes the singer's desire to connect with Michelle and make her understand the depth of his love.
