Musicbrainz DBOn me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose,
Elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses.
On me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud
Que de nos chagrins il s'en fait des manteaux
Pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit...
(Refrain)
Que tu m'aimais encore,
C'est quelqu'un qui m'a dit que tu m'aimais encore.
Serait-ce possible alors ?
On me dit que le destin se moque bien de nous
Qu'il ne nous donne rien et qu'il nous promet tout
Parait qu'le bonheur est à portée de main,
Alors on tend la main et on se retrouve fou
Pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit ...
(au refrain)
Mais qui est-ce qui m'a dit que toujours tu m'aimais?
Je ne me souviens plus c'était tard dans la nuit,
J'entends encore la voix, mais je ne vois plus les traits
"Il vous aime, c'est secret, lui dites pas que j'vous l'ai dit"
Tu vois quelqu'un m'a dit...
Que tu m'aimais encore, me l'a-t-on vraiment dit...
Que tu m'aimais encore, serait-ce possible alors ?
On me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose,
Elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses
On me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud
Que de nos tristesses il s'en fait des manteaux,
Pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit que...
(au refrain)
Translation (from lyricstranslate.com)
Someone told me that our lives aren't a big thing(*guess it means something important)
They pass on the instant as discolour roses
Someone told me that the time that pass is a bastard
that is making topcoats from our grief
However someone said to me...
Refrain
Who do you still love,
This is someone that've told me that you still love me.
Is it possible then?
Someone told me that the destiny is scoffing at us
dont't give us anything and that promise us everything
Appear that the happiness is only for the reach hands
Then they tighten the hand and find themselves crazy
But someone have told me...
Refrain
But who can tell me that today you are loving me?
I don't remember more it was late in the night,
I'm still hearing the voice, but I don't see anymore the ?points?
"He loves you, it's a secret, don't tell him that I tell you"
You see, someone told me...
Who do you still love, he really told me...
Who do you still love, is it possible then?
Elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses.
On me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud
Que de nos chagrins il s'en fait des manteaux

| Poacher (Brighton, UK) | Posted: Sep 04, 2012 - 06:13 Compare this to most French popular music output and it stands out as rather good. Anyone who travels in France will know just how bad French popular music can be. . . |

| lkovathana (Chicago, Illinois) | Posted: Aug 03, 2012 - 19:11 All her albums are very nice, even though she is basically talking through it. I also have a compilation album that is themed around guitar and vocals of various artists, and she stands out as the best. |

| Groogrux69 (Auburn, CA) | Posted: Jan 26, 2012 - 15:38 First heard this song while watching the movie (500) Days of Summer and liked it immediately. Bonus that the song is by a very sexy first lady. |

| sillyjeff | Posted: Dec 25, 2011 - 21:36 I've been listening to RP for a while now. This is the first song I've heard that I didn't like. I can tell why she's included, though, after looking at the album cover. After all, we're only human. |
| pol66 | Posted: Nov 24, 2011 - 04:41 There's so much other french rock band , why taking the worst ! No voice, no music nothing !!! Remove it from the playlist, it's only soup ! |
| AliGator (The Bluegrass) | Posted: Sep 21, 2011 - 22:11 BillG, since you mentioned not daring to say the song title: It's pronounced "Kelkunh* mah dee." :) *make that a nasal sound; don't say the N. That last syllable almost sounds like a short A, as in cat. |

She is a singer songwriter here, and not a political person! @helgigermany, I'm pretty sure it's not a political statement. Just confirmation that Sarkozy is the luckiest man on the planet. If I had her to come home to every night, I'd have that same look on my face. |
