On va s'aimer

Gilbert Montagné's song 'On va s'aimer' is a passionate ode to love, capturing the intensity and boundless nature of romantic relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that transcends physical and emotional boundaries, suggesting that true love can make one feel as if they are touching the sky. The recurring phrase 'On va s'aimer' (We will love each other) emphasizes the commitment and the enduring nature of this love, despite the challenges that may come their way.

The song uses a variety of metaphors to illustrate the highs and lows of love. For instance, the lines 'Se séparer, à brûler nos ailes' (Separate, to burn our wings) and 'À se brûler la peau' (To burn our skin) suggest that love can be both exhilarating and painful. Yet, the lovers always find their way back to each other, much like swallows returning home. This cyclical nature of love is further emphasized by the imagery of throwing away the keys to their home and dreaming of new seasons, symbolizing a desire to break free from constraints and explore new horizons together.

Montagné also incorporates various settings to show that love can flourish anywhere, whether on a star, in a train, or on a boat. These diverse locations highlight the universality of love and its ability to thrive in any circumstance. The song's romantic and adventurous spirit is encapsulated in the desire to 's'envoler, toujours, toujours plus haut' (to fly, always, always higher), suggesting that love is a journey of continuous growth and discovery. The repeated affirmation that 'l'amour est beau' (love is beautiful) serves as a reminder of the beauty and joy that love brings into our lives.
