"On Efface"

[ocelot]

On Efface
From the album "Comme Vous..."

On peut trouver ailleurs
Un peu de passion
On sait que tout passe
Sans illusion
Il reste cette envie d’amour en absence
Même si on dit
C’est sans importance, c’est sans importance

Puis bien sûr on efface
Ces petits bonheurs
Que l’on vit trop vite
Mais qu’on garde sur le cœur
Malgré tout on efface
Puisque tout passe
Mais quoi qu’on fasse, rien ne meurt

On pense avoir tout compris
Tout savoir
On peut tout offrir à quelqu’un
Ne plus se revoir
Mais tout ce qu’on lui donne
Même pour un soir
Ca reste de l’amour
Qui donne envie d’y croire
Envie d’y croire

Puis bien sûr on efface
Ces petits bonheurs
Que l’on vit trop vite
Mais qu’on garde sur le cœur
Malgré tout on efface
Puisque tout passe
Mais quoi qu’on fasse, rien ne meurt

One Erases

One can find somewhere else
A little passion
One know that all passes
No illusion
He stays this desire of love some absence
Even if one says
It’s no importance, it’s no importance

Then sure one erases
These little happinesses
That one lives too fast
But that one looks after for the heart
Despite all one erases
Since all passes
But what that one does, nothing dies

One thought has compromises all
To know all
One can offer all to someone
No longer to see again
But all this that one gives him
Even for an evening
This stays in the love
That gives desire to believe it
Desire to believe it

Then sure one erases
These little happinesses
That one lives too fast
But that one looks after for the heart
Despite all one erases
Since all passes
But what that one does, nothing dies

Does she write her own songs?

[ocelot]

She co-writes some of her own songs. This was not one of the ones that she co-wrote.

What do you know about the writer of this song? And what other songs does he/she have credit for? It's a very interesting song.

"On Efface" was written by Lionel Florence and Francis Maggiulli. Lionel Florence has written a lot for Natasha St-Pier (Tu Trouveras, Tous Les Au-Revoir Se Ressemblement, Alors On Se Raccroche, Les Chansons Ne Servent a Rien,De L'Amour Le Mieux, Les Diamants sont Solitaires, Tant Que C'est Toi, Mourir Demain, Quand On Cherche L'Amour,Je Te Souhaite, Croire, J'oublie Toujours Quelque Chose, Longueur D'Ondes, Comme Dans Un Train, De Nous). I don't know anything about Francis Maggiulli. I think Lionel Florence writes mostly the lyrics.

Ahhh! So that explains the depth to the lyrics that I thought seemed familiar! Thanks for the info.
