"De Nous"

[ocelot]

De Nous
From the album "Longueur D'Ondes

Bien sur on peut partir
Vouloir un avenir
Autre part autrement
On ne fait que s’enfuir
Un regard un sourire
Qui peut vous retenir
Quand on a ça vraiment
Est-ce que ça peut suffire

De toi…j’ai appris à vivre ça
Tellement plus que tu le crois
Appris comment me perdre
Trouver d’autres repères
De nous…j’aurai appris l’amour
Comme personne te le dira
Et comme personne te le fera
De nous…j’aurai connu l’amour
Qu’on rencontre qu’une fois
Au moins…j’aurai vécu ça

Bien sur on part au loin
Chercher d’autre quelqu’un
Pour lequel on chavire
C’est un voyage pour rien
Le seul a qui on tient
Forcement nous revient
C’est pas facile à dire
On aime plus mal que bien

De toi…j’ai appris à vivre ça
Tellement plus que tu le crois
Compris ou vous emmènent
Les traversées du désert
De nous…j’aurai appris l’amour
Comme personne te le dira
Et comme personne te le fera
De nous…j’aurai connu l’amour
Qu’on rencontre qu’une fois
Au moins…j’aurai vécu ça

De toi…je ne m’attendais pas
Au moins je saurai pourquoi
J’ai appris a ne plus fuir
A regarder un sourire
De nous…j’aurai appris l’amour
Comme personne te le dira
Et comme personne te le fera
De nous…j’aurai connu l’amour
Qu’on rencontre qu’une fois
Au moins…j’aurai vécu ça
J’aurai vécu ça
J’aurai vécu ça

From Us

Sure one can to leave
To want a future
Another part differently
On does only to run away
A regard a smile
That can return to us
When one have that truth
What is that that can be sufficient

From you…I have learned to live this
So much more then you believe
To learn how I lose
To find the others marks
From us… I will have learned love
As a person you say
And as a person you do
From us…I will have known love
That one only meets a time
At least…I will have this reality

Sure one part in the far
To look for someone else
For which one overwhelms
It’s a journey for nothing
Alone to that one holds
Forcefully we return
It’s not easy to say
One loves more bad than good

From you…I have learned to live this
So much more then you believe
Understand or you take
The crossing of the desert
From us… I will have learned love
As a person you say
And as a person you do
From us…I will have known love
That one only meets a time
At least…I will have this reality

From you…I will no wait
At least I will know why
I have learned to flee no longer
Have looked at a smile
From us… I will have learned love
As a person you say
And as a person you do
From us…I will have known love
That one only meets a time
At least…I will have this reality
I will have this reality
I will have this reality

Great lyrics!!

[ocelot]

The way this song is arranged on the album is incredible. The emotion that she sings with is great and for most of the song it's just her voice and the piano. It's one of the highlights on the album for me.

[achebeautiful]

Is it anything near the type of song that "Oh What Love" is like on Cindy Morgan's "Postcards" album? Or better?

[ocelot]

I would say that it's near the type of song of "Oh What Love" on Cindy's album. If it's better or worse is for you to decide.

[achebeautiful]

LOL, that's kind of a funny answer, Leona! I wasn't asking you to take over my thoughts and opinions for me. What I was asking was, in YOUR opinion is the song as good or better than "Oh What Love?" Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just trying to make clear what I meant.

[ocelot]

In my opinion it's about equal. Depends on my mood, sometimes I feel it might be better and other times I feel it's a little bit worse.

[achebeautiful]

Okay, thanks! Regardless of what mood you are in, if it is anywhere near as good as "Oh What Love" then it must be a beautiful song! I am certain to get this album, along with Julie Zenatti's "Comme Vous" and Tina Arena's "Just Me." And the cool thing about it is that when I get them I will have lots of translations readily available to me! Thanks for that!
