"De L'Amour De Mieux"

[ocelot]

De l'Amour de Mieux

J'veux pouvoir me regarder dans la glace
Quand tu me regardes dans les yeux
Me dire qui j'ai encore une place
Dans l'amour qu'on se donne tous les deux

Et puisque le monde se fort
De nous rendre ou pas heureux

Moi, je veux
Un amour a nous
De l'amour de mieux
Pouvoir faire
De nous
Le souvenir le plus precieux
Moi, je veux de l'amour
Qu'on donne
Avant d'etre trop vieux
De l'amour qu'on homme
Qu'un homme sait faire de son mieux

On mene sa route au bout d'une impasse
Sa petite personne comme on peut
Je veux savoir si quelqu'un me remplace
Qu'elle pourra te regarder dans les yeux

Puisque le temps desseche tout
Et puisqu'on aime tellement peu

Moi, je veux
Un amour a nous
De l'amour de mieux
Pouvoir faire
De nous
Le souvenir le plus precieux
Moi, je veux de l'amour
Qu'on donne
Avant d'etre trop vieux
De l'amour qu'on homme
Qu'un homme sait faire de son mieux

Moi, je veux de l'amour
Qu'on crie
Vous remplit les yeux
De l'amour
D'une vie
De l'amour le mieux

De l'amour le mieux
De l'amour le mieux
De l'amour le mieux
De l'amour le mieux

Love of Better

I want to be able to look in the ice
Where you look at me in the eyes
I say that I have still a place
In the love someone devotes to them both

And since the world to give
Of us returns or not happiness

Me, I want
A love to us
Love of better
To be able to do
Of us
The memory the more precious
Me, I want love
What does one give
Before to be too old
Love what one man
What one man knows to do better

One takes the road in the end a dead end
The small person as one is able to
I want to know if someone replaces me
What she is able to look into the eyes

Since the time to dry out all
And since one likes so much, so little

Me, I want
A love to us
Love of better
To be able to do
Of us
The memory the more precious
Me, I want love
What does one give
Before to be too old
Love what one man
What one man knows to do better

Me, I want to love
What does one scream
You fill up the eyes
Love
Of a life
Love of better

Love of better
Love of better
Love of better
Love of better

This one is a little confusing to me, Leona. Can you explain what it means to you to help me along?

I think this song is about a break-up. I think it was a situation where it was a surprise to the writer.
From what I get is that she still loves him but she also loves herself enough to not go back because she wants love that's better not the love that he gave. Love that wasn't enough to keep him with her. I believe the end of the chorus is asking a man to find her that will love her better. I think there's stil alot of pain for her, especially when she sees him but she wants love that's better before she gets too old, but it doesn't stop the pain.

Wow! Thank you for the translation and the thoughts on a very powerful lyrical piece!
