[Ils sont arrivés
Se tenant par la main
L'air émerveillé
De deux chérubins...
Et quand j'ai fermé
La porte sur eux
Y avait tant de soleil
Au fond de leurs yeux
Que ça m'a fait mal,
Que ça m'a fait mal...]
Et je me rappelle
Quand je t’ai vu
La première fois
Que tu souriais
Et tu regardais
Droit dans ses yeux…
Et je me rappelle
Même si c’est flou
Que tu t’es penchée
Et t’as chuchotée
Je n’ai pas entendu…
Et je me rappelle
Quand je t’ai vu
Cette première fois
Quand tu souriais
Alors j’ai compris
Que tu me mentais…
Et je me rappelle
Quand toi tu m’as vu
La première fois
Le brun de mes yeux
Il s’est tout fondu
En claires ruisseaux…
Et je me rappelle
Quand je t’ai vu
La première fois
Quand tu regardais
Tout droit dans ses yeux…
Alors j’ai compris
Que tu me mentais…
Et tout s’est fondu
En claires ruisseaux…

"The sunshine of love was all they possessed,
And so in the sunshine we let them to rest;
They sleep side by side, two children alone
But I'm sure they found a place of their own..."
Edith Piaf - Lovers for a day (English version of Les amants D'un jour)- great singer, incredible song :)
My French isn't too good and I understood most of the poem, but I'm not sure, is it about a lover in someone's life that lies? Or just about a person too much in love to see beyond the beautiful eyes, smiles and whispers?
Woow...it's a little complcated...in very big lines...a girl sees the boy she loves talking to another and she understands he is in love with somebody else than her...
Jesus it sounds so vulgar and naive when I resume it like that...the poem is based on a ...true story let's say...and it's far more complciated that that...and as a bonus...caracter shifting...the identities of the two girls switch between verses...:)
Vulgar...naive? No, it sounds like one of those real love stories that didn't end up "happily ever after"...
I guess it sounds vulgar or naive because nowadays we're just not used of talking about our feelings and emotions...or about love.
It's kind of silly but did you notice that most of the people(I especially mean the ones of our age) suddenly feel and get "clumsy" when it comes to expressing such feelings?
Maybe because love isn't considered as it used to be: a pure simple feeling based on altruism, blind faith and naivity :)
Or maybe because people love with their brain and not with their hearts...I'm not sure why but I know for sure that this isn't how we were made to be.
I guess it's a good thing we still have love stories :)
Altruism? Human beeings are by nature selfish and egocentric...we all are...and I truly believe tht...how many would give themselves up for their loved ones? Or worse...how many would let their loved one be with...somebody else if that would make him/her happy?
I've got no "pro" examples...only "against"...and way too many...
no...I can't agree with that :P yes maybe humans have become too selfish and ego-centric...but this isn't how they were...i think it's a matter of instinct taking over ...we do have the instinct of self-preservation and this instinct does take over many times,too many I would say...however, I believe there still are human beings that can control that instinct and that put others above themselves, that oneday could let go a person they love so much only for that person to be happy;
what can I say, I guess I'm a believer - then I saw her face :))
I haven't got too many examples of such people myself, but I have faith. It doesn't matter if 6 billion people aren't like I believe and only 1 is...as long as that 1 person is close or next to me or just a part of my life :)
All these "against" examples should get you to be even more decided to proove yourself you're wrong...if you were right, what would we be living for???just for ourselves and for self-preservation?
pourquoi pas:)
