Lyrics: This letter may surprise you But who knows? Maybe not A few embers escaped the ashes Of a love so long gone Do you remember? We were crazy about each other Our reasons gave up, but not our memories Tender adolescences, I think about it and think about it again Night falls and I would like to see you again We lived off time, off its air Arrogant as lovers can be We had the ordinary pride Of "us two, it's different" Everything seemed normal, our lives would be a ball Beautiful dances are rare, we learn that later Time has inflicted all the storms on our faces I would like to see you again, not by chance Surely there would be ghosts and sets to awaken Who are your kings, your kingdoms? but I only want to know Even if it's trivial, just to know Did we really live the same story? Age is one last long journey A train platform and we leave We shouldn't carry in our baggage Anything that truly mattered And to say thank you For these pearls of life There are certain wounds with a taste of victory And to drink from your gestures again Your fragrances, your gaze That sweet mirror Where I would like us to see each other again Explanation: "Je Voudrais Vous Revoir" by Jean-Jacques Goldman is a nostalgic song about a past love. The narrator writes a letter expressing their desire to see their former lover again. They reflect on the memories they shared and the passion they once felt for each other. The lyrics touch on the passage of time and the realization that life is not always as idealistic as one might have imagined in their youth. The song suggests that despite the challenges and changes that have occurred over the years, the narrator still longs to reconnect with their past love and relive the moments they shared. It speaks to the universal feelings of longing and nostalgia for a lost connection.
