JE T'AIME À LA FOLIE
par Serge Llama, chanteur populaire français
Aussitôt que l'on __________
C'__________ déjà qu'il fait beau
Tous ___________ mots qu'on invente
On les vole aux oiseaux
C'est déjà que l'on pense
Au début de sa vie
Que ce sera jamais, jamais, jamais fini
Je t'__________ à ___________ folie...__________ vie
Aussitôt que l'on rêve
C'__________ déjà qu'on ___________ deux
Aussitôt qu'on en crève
C'est qu'on __________ amoureux
C'est déjà que l'on pense
Avec mélancolie
Que ce sera bientôt, bientôt, bientôt fini
Je t'__________ à __________ folie...___________ vie
Serge Llama, a popular French artist of the early 1970s, wrote this
song while recovering from injuries caused by a car accident. His
lyrics reflect common themes in French music and poetry; the brevity of
life and the fleeting nature of relationships. The refrain "Je t'aime
à la folie..la vie." expresses the lyricist's optimistic attitude
in the face of death and lost love. The refrain, translated as "I'm
crazy about you, life." tells us to love life and live it to the fullest,
since it will not last forever.
