Par Amour

DADJU's song 'Par Amour' delves into the profound sacrifices and commitments made in the name of love. The lyrics narrate the story of a person who goes to great lengths to prove their love, facing challenges and making personal sacrifices to ensure the happiness of their beloved. The repeated phrase 'par amour' (for love) emphasizes the motivation behind the protagonist's actions, highlighting love as a powerful driving force that compels one to act beyond their comfort zone.

The song opens with the protagonist confronting the disapproving gaze of their lover's father, symbolizing the external challenges that often accompany romantic relationships. This act of facing someone important in their partner's life, despite the discomfort, signifies a deep commitment to the relationship. The lyrics also mention making sacrifices, such as pretending to enjoy things they do not and overlooking the partner's flaws, which illustrates the compromises often required in love. The line 'je t'aurais même donné ce que je n'avais pas' (I would have even given you what I did not have) speaks volumes about the depth of the protagonist's devotion and willingness to give beyond their means.

The recurring theme of enduring pain and waiting 'je saigne encore' (I still bleed) and 'je t'attends depuis longtemps' (I've been waiting for you for a long time) portrays a sense of enduring love that withstands time and hardship. This portrayal of love in 'Par Amour' is not just about the joyous moments but also about the struggles and endurance it demands. DADJU effectively uses these lyrical expressions to paint a picture of love that is all-encompassing, demanding, and ultimately transformative.
