it's in the words

you dream of what you think in the day... recently my food for thought revolves 'round music.

read on not only cos you are a fellow french enthusiast but if you are a poet of the heart, if you are too an aficionado of beautiful words...

with full credit to my professor from my usual 'la classe de chants', a melodic and romantic tune he would recommend to be sang at weddings.

my take: quite an addiction which kept me replaying the youtube video again and again. and once you learned to sing it, you would. the words in the song propelled you to envision the scenes and the sentiments. the song title, literally translated as 'there where i'll bring you' painted the everlasting, timeless love story you would have read before; of the man who will bring you till the end of the world, who will care & protect you, make your dreams come true and give you eternal bliss.

"Là où je t'emmènerai" by Florent Pagny
C'est au bout du regard
Là où les bateaux quittent la mer
Là, où l'horizon est tellement plus clair
Sous la belle étoile celle qui te dit que la vie ici
ne sera jamais rien que ton amie

C'est au fond de tes yeux
Là, où le monde affleure tes rêves
Là, où le bonheur n'est plus un mystère

for the full lyrics

taken from the first few verses of the song, là où les bateaux quittent la mer
- there where the boats leave the sea;
imagine looking across the sea where the boats slowly fade away from your sight and disappear
describing the horizon.

Là, où le monde effleure tes rêves
Là, où le bonheur n'est plus un mystère
there where the world comes close to your dreams, where happiness is no longer a mystery
thinking of the happily ever after? now we're talking.

I recalled my professor saying, 'a loving couple do not look at each other but they look in the same direction of where they are going'
speaking of love and future? awww... I can't help but to envy at the look of bliss on my teacher's face, a happy man.
makes my heart lurch... at the thin possibility of finding the one in this big big world.

my conclusion? people are probably right saying the french are really romantic afterall.
