C'est Si Bon

Lisa Ono's rendition of 'C'est Si Bon' is a delightful celebration of the simple joys and pleasures of love. The song, originally written in French, translates to 'It's So Good,' and it encapsulates the blissful moments shared between lovers. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple enjoying each other's company, walking arm in arm, singing songs, and exchanging sweet nothings. These seemingly trivial actions are imbued with profound meaning, highlighting how the smallest gestures can convey deep affection and happiness.

The song's charm lies in its ability to capture the essence of love through everyday experiences. Lines like 'De se dir'des mots doux, Des petits rien du tout, Mais qui en disent long' (To say sweet words, Little nothings, But which say a lot) emphasize how love can be found in the simplest of interactions. The couple's joy is so palpable that it even makes passersby envious, showcasing the infectious nature of genuine happiness. The repeated phrase 'C'est si bon' reinforces the idea that these moments, though small, are incredibly fulfilling and valuable.

Lisa Ono's smooth, bossa nova style adds an extra layer of warmth and intimacy to the song. Her gentle voice and the soothing melody create a cozy, romantic atmosphere that perfectly complements the lyrics. The song also touches on the physical aspects of love, with lines like 'De pouvoir l'embrasser, Et puis de r'commencer, A la moindre occasion' (To be able to kiss her, And then to start again, At the slightest opportunity) and 'De jouer du piano, Tout le long de son dos, Tandis que nous dansons' (To play the piano, All along her back, While we dance). These lines evoke a sense of playful intimacy and the joy of being physically close to a loved one.

Overall, 'C'est Si Bon' is a beautiful ode to the simple, yet profound pleasures of love. It reminds us that happiness can be found in the smallest of moments and that love is often about appreciating the little things that make life so sweet.
