Seulement L'amour

In 'Seulement L'amour,' Don e Juan crafts a heartfelt tribute to the power and endurance of love. The song's lyrics are a poetic expression of deep affection and unwavering commitment. The narrator addresses their beloved as their 'tender love,' 'only light,' and 'sole reason to stay on earth,' emphasizing the profound impact this person has on their life. The imagery of a 'sweet prison' where the narrator finds pleasure suggests that love, while binding, is also a source of immense joy and fulfillment.

The recurring theme of love as a guiding force is central to the song. The narrator expresses a desire to be a 'prisoner' of love, indicating a willingness to be entirely devoted to their partner. The lines 'Seulement l'amour / Pour qu'il guide nos pas' (Only love / To guide our steps) and 'Seulement l'amour / Pour le temps qu'il voudra' (Only love / For as long as it wants) highlight the belief that love is the ultimate guide through life's journey. This sentiment is reinforced by the assertion that with their partner by their side, they can endure anything, even the metaphorical 'hell.'

The song also touches on themes of sacrifice and rebirth. The narrator is willing to 'abandon everything' and 'give all the time they have left' to their beloved, showcasing the depth of their commitment. The idea of 'learning to love' suggests that love is an ongoing process of growth and discovery. The repeated plea for forgiveness from those who 'would not understand' underscores the notion that true love is often incomprehensible to outsiders. Ultimately, 'Seulement L'amour' is a powerful declaration of love's ability to transcend all obstacles and guide us through the darkest of times.
