Return | Quand Tu Danses Jean Jacques Goldman En Passant (1996) |
|
J'ai fait la liste de ce qu'on ne sera plus Quand tu danses, quand tu danses Mais que deviennent les amoureux perdus Quand tu danses, y songes-tu? |
I made a list of things we'll no longer be When you dance, when you dance But what becomes of lost lovers? When you dance, do you wonder about it? |
|
Amis non, ni amants, �trangers non plus Quand tu danses, quand tu danses Mais quel apr�s, apr�s s'�tre appartenus? Quand tu danses, y songes-tu? |
Not friends, not lovers, strangers no longer When you dance, when you dance But what after, after having belonged to each other? When you dance, do you think of it? |
|
Je crois bien que j'aurai besoin de te voir Quand tu danses, quand tu danses Sans te parler, ne d�ranger, mais te voir Quand tu danses, y songes-tu |
I really think that I need to see you When you dance, when you dance Without speaking to you, nor upsetting you - but to see you When you dance, do you think of it? |
|
Et toutes les peines, toutes, contre une seule de nos minutes Mais n'�tre plus rien apr�s tant, c'est pas juste Quand tu danse, y songes-tu? |
And all the pain, all, against even one of our minutes But to no longer be anything after so much, it's not fair When you dance, do you wonder about it? |
|
Et j'ai fait la liste de ce qu'on ne sera plus Mais que deviennent les amours �perdues Quand tu danses, y songes-tu? |
And I made a list, of what we will no longer be But what becomes of the desperate loves? When you dance, do you think of this? |
This is by far, my favorite song on
En Passant. Despite the raw simplicity of the music, hiding some great lyrical
complexity. There is a lonely ness and a desperation that exits in the
lyrics that is supported by the lonely and almost akward playing that JJ creates on the
guitar as he sings.JJG does one thing, lyrically that is beautiful. He plays with
the sounds of 'amourseperdues" The first, "lost lovers", the second
"desperate loves". Subtle differences in emphais of pronouncation makes an
intreuging play for the lyrics.
