Les Mots d'Amour

Lyrics by Michel Rivegauche music by Charles Dumont ©1960

It's crazy that I can love you

That I can love you, sometimes

Sometimes, I would like to shout

Because I had never loved

Never loved like that

That, I can swear to you

 

If ever you went away

Went away and left me

Left me forever

It's sure that I would die

That I would die of love

My love, my love

 

It's crazy what he would say to me

Such pretty words of love

And how he would say them

But he didn't kill himself

Because, despite my love

It was he that left me

Without saying a word

Though the words

There were so many

There were too many

 

It's crazy that I can love you

That I can love you, sometimes

Sometimes, I would like to shout

Because I had never loved

Never loved like that

That, I can swear to you

 

If ever you went away

Went away and left me

Left me forever

It's sure that I would die

That I would die of love

My love, my love

 

And what do you know? Today

These same words of love

It's me who repeats them

It's me who repeats them

With as much love

To someone else

I say the words

Because the words

There are so many of them

That there are too many of them

 

It's crazy that I can love you

That I can love you, sometimes

Sometimes, I would like to shout

Because I had never loved

Never loved like that,

That, I can swear to you

 

If ever you went away

Went away and left me

Left me forever

It's sure that I would die

That I would die of love

My love, my love

 

Deep down, it wasn't you

Like it wasn't even me

Who said these words of love

Because each day, your voice

My voice, or another's voice

It is the voice of love

Who says the words

Again the words

Always the words

The words of love

C'est fou c'que j'peux t'aimer
C'que j' peux t'aimer, des fois 
Des fois, j'voudrais crier 
Car j'n'ai jamais aimé
Jamais aimé comme ça
Ça, je peux te l'jurer


Si jamais tu partais
Partais et me quittais
Me quittais pour toujours
C'est sûr que j'en mourrais
Que j'en mourrais d'amour
Mon amour, mon amour

 

C'est fou c'qu'il me disait
Comme jolis mots d'amour
Et comme il les disait
Mais il ne s'est pas tué
Car, malgré mon amour
C'est lui qui m'a quittée
Sans dire un mot
Pourtant des mots
'Y en avait tant

'Y en avait trop

 

C'est fou c'que j'peux t'aimer
C'que j' peux t'aimer, des fois 
Des fois, j'voudrais crier 
Car j'n'ai jamais aimé
Jamais aimé comme ça
Ça, je peux te l'jurer


Si jamais tu partais
Partais et me quittais
Me quittais pour toujours
C'est sûr que j'en mourrais
Que j'en mourrais d'amour
Mon amour, mon amour

Et voila qu'aujourd'hui

Ces mêmes mots d'amour
C'est moi qui les re-dis
C'est moi qui les re-dis
Avec autant d'amour
À un autre que lui
Je dis des mots
Parce que des mots
Il y en a tant
Qu'il y en a trop

C'est fou c'que j'peux t'aimer
C'que j' peux t'aimer, des fois 
Des fois, j'voudrais crier 
Car j'n'ai jamais aimé
Jamais aimé comme ça
Ça, je peux te l'jurer


Si jamais tu partais
Partais et me quittais
Me quittais pour toujours
C'est sûr que j'en mourrais
Que j'en mourrais d'amour
Mon amour, mon amour

 

Au fond c'n'était pas toi
Comme ce n'est même pas moi
Qui dit ces mots d'amour
Car chaque jour, ta voix
Ma voix, ou d'autres voix
C'est la voix de l'amour
Qui dit des mots
Encore des mots
Toujours des mots
Des mots d'amour
