This imagery suggests that her entire being is now oriented towards the person she loves, emphasizing the completeness and totality of her devotion. The lyrics 'Mes yeux ne sont fait que pour te regarder' (My eyes are made only to look at you) and 'Mes lèvres ne servent qu'à t'offrir mes baisers' (My lips serve only to offer you my kisses) highlight how love has given her life a new focus and direction.

Dalida's delivery of the song adds another layer of emotion. Known for her expressive voice and dramatic flair, she brings a sense of urgency and sincerity to the lyrics. The repetition of 'Parce que je t'aime' (Because I love you) reinforces the central theme of love as a life-affirming force.
