Un Grand Amour

We can search for love in the eyes we meet
In the skins we touch, in the silky nights, with full mouth
We must search for love, it's the least we can do, you know
There's nothing else in the world, it's true and nothing else that matters

We can search for love in a thousand and one ways
Quietly passing by
Or as if there was nothing else to do
We must search for love to save our cold milk jugs
To save our lives from hell
It's engraved in stone but sometimes

We experience a great love
That carries us away without return
Without forgiveness, without reason
And then, here is the great love
The one we always dreamed of
The one we always dreamed of

We need love, whatever our faces
Whatever our achievements
And whatever our wild adventures
We need love just like we breathe, you know
That's where our unexpected is, that's where we tear ourselves apart

We sometimes love against all hope
Without a shadow of a card, without a shadow of a chance, like on our knees
We sometimes love like shipwrecks, you know
Like possessed, it's true, that's where our chance is
And sometimes

We experience a great love
That carries us away without return
Without forgiveness, without reason
And then, here is the great love
The one we always dreamed of
The one we always dreamed of

When we find love again, it's like a blank page
That we have to write, just as we lean over
Look, look

We experience a great love
That carries us away without return
Without forgiveness, without reason
And then, here is the great love
The one we always dreamed of
The one we always dreamed of
