Pleurer D'amour

Hervé Vilard's song "Pleurer D'amour" delves into the complex emotions that come with experiencing profound love. The lyrics juxtapose happiness and sorrow, suggesting that an overwhelming joy can be as heart-wrenching as sadness. This duality is captured in the lines, "Un trop grand bonheur / C'est comme un chagrin / Ca brise le coeur / Par d'autres moyens," which translate to "Too much happiness / Is like sorrow / It breaks the heart / In other ways." The song explores how love can leave one feeling both elated and disoriented, encapsulating the bittersweet nature of deep emotional connections.

The recurring theme of crying for love, or "Pleurer d'amour," is central to the song. Vilard sings about discovering the joy in shedding tears for someone special, indicating that these tears are not just a sign of sadness but also of a life enriched by love. The lyrics, "Pleurer d'amour / Lorsque l'on sait pour qui / Pleurer d'amour / C'est vivre une autre vie," emphasize that crying for love is a transformative experience, one that allows a person to live a different, more meaningful life. This notion is further reinforced by the idea that memories and experiences with a loved one are invaluable and everlasting.

The song also touches on the idea of fulfillment and closure. Vilard mentions that he has finally reached his goal and closed the circle by experiencing the joy of crying for love. This sense of completion is beautifully expressed in the lines, "Je touche à mon but / Le cercle est fermé / Puisque j'ai connu / La joie de pleurer." The song suggests that true emotional fulfillment comes from embracing both the highs and lows of love, and that the act of crying for love is a testament to its profound impact on one's life.
