The Lyrics
Toi mon amour, mon ami
Quand je rêve c’est de toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Quand je chante c’est pour toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Je ne peux vivre sans toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Et je ne sais pas pourquoi
You, my love, my friend,
When I dream, it’s you I dream about,
My love, my friend,
When I sing, I sing to you,
My love, my friend,
I can’t live without you,
My love, my friend,
And I don’ t know why.
Je n’ai pas connu d’autre garçon que toi
Si j’en ai connu je ne m’en souviens pas
A quoi bon chercher faire des comparaisons
J’ai un coeur qui sait quand il a raison
Et puisqu’il a pris ton nom
I’ve never met a boy like you before
And if I did, I don’t remember,
What good does it do to try to make comparisons?
I’ve got a heart that knows when it is right
And that’s why it has taken your name.
Toi mon amour, mon ami
Quand je rêve c’est de toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Quand je chante c’est pour toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Je ne peux vivre sans toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Et je sais très bien pourquoi
You, my love, my friend,
When I dream, it’s you I dream about,
My love, my friend,
When I sing, I sing to you,
My love, my friend,
I can’t live without you,
My love, my friend,
And I know pretty well why.
On ne sait jamais jusqu’où ira l’amour
Et moi qui croyais pouvoir t’aimer toujours
Oui je t’ai quitté et j’ai beau résister
Je chante parfois à d’autres que toi
Un peu moins bien chaque fois
We can never know where love can take us
And I thought I could love you forever,
Yes, I left you and there’s no use in holding on
Sometimes I sing to others like you
A little bit worse every time.
Toi mon amour, mon ami
Quand je rêve c’est de toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Quand je chante c’est pour toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Je ne peux vivre sans toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Et je ne sais pas pourquoi
You, my love, my friend,
When I dream, it’s you I dream about,
My love, my friend,
When I sing, I sing to you,
My love, my friend,
I can’t live without you,
My love, my friend,
And I don’t know why.
Marie Laforêt
Marie Laforêt is a famous French singer and actress, who began her career at the age of twenty. Since then, this artiste, who faced dire poverty and psychological stigma as a child, has overcome her inhibitions, and given stellar performances not just in French and Italian movies, but also as a singer. She is known for her exceptional beauty with sharp facial features, which add to her brilliant talent as an actor. As a singer, this accomplished musician stands out from the crowd owing to her melodious, haunting voice, which overflows with emotions. This singer has always believed in singing from the heart, and when her career stood in the way of her ideals, she chose to quit music. A celebrated actor, her most famous movies are ‘Les Diplômés du dernier rang’, ‘Déjà Vu’, and ‘Fucking Fernand’, amongst many more. She is also remembered for her record-breaking hits like ‘À demain my darling’, ‘Viens, viens’, and her own renditions of ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’, ‘Paint It Black’, and ‘The Sound of Silence’, performed originally by Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, and Simon and Garfunkel respectively. Even today, French music seems incomplete without this splendid singer contributing her magic to it.
