The song "Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore" by Jean-Jacques Goldman tells the story of someone who is desperately trying to win back the love and affection of their partner. The lyrics express the speaker's understanding of the situation, acknowledging that things have changed and the passion in their relationship has faded. The song begins with the speaker saying they have understood all the words and the reason behind the changes in their relationship. They mention that everything, including love, can become dull and boring over time. However, they express their determination to go to great lengths to search for their partner's heart and soul, even if someone else has taken them away. They promise to cast spells and do whatever it takes to make their partner love them again. The refrain emphasizes the speaker's plea for love, stating that they should not have started this game of love if it would eventually lead to heartache. They admit to not knowing how to play this game and that they are not like others. They express their desire to make their partner understand that they will search for their heart even if it belongs to someone else. The second verse directly addresses the partner, saying that the speaker will search for their heart even if they have given it to someone else. They acknowledge the presence of other people in their partner's life, but they promise to find their partner's soul even in the coldest and most challenging moments. They vow to cast spells and perform magical rituals to make their partner love them once again. The bridge of the song describes the speaker's determination to find new ways to express their love and admiration for their partner. They use metaphoric language, mentioning creating new languages to sing their praises and packing their bags for endless adventures together. They mention using magical formulas from African marabouts (fortune tellers) without any hesitation or regrets, all in the name of making their partner love them again. The final verse takes a creative turn as the speaker starts to imagine transforming themselves into a more appealing and exciting version in order to win back their partner. They promise to become someone who can give their partner pleasure and engage in their games, if that is what their partner desires. They express their dedication to becoming something greater than a poem, transforming into gold just to earn their partner's love once again. Overall, "Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore" portrays a desperate plea for love, with the speaker showing their willingness to go to great lengths to win back the affection of their partner. The song beautifully captures the longing and desire to reignite the passion in a relationship that has lost its spark.
