"Où Est Passée Ma Bohème?" is a French song by Julio Iglesias that speaks about the passing of time and memories of past joys. The lyrics describe the speaker's longing for a lost time of youth and romance, where poetry and love were abundant. The title of the song translates to "Where has my Bohemia gone?" and Bohemia refers to a carefree and artistic lifestyle that was often associated with artists and writers in the 19th century. The speaker reminisces about the time when life was simpler and filled with love, and wonders where those days have gone. Throughout the song, the speaker acknowledges that time cannot erase memories of the past, and he remembers the nights filled with "je t'aime" (I love you) and the passionate poetry that he once wrote. The nostalgia for the past is palpable, as the speaker notes that he thinks about those times often, despite them being seemingly unimportant. Ultimately, the speaker reveals that his heart remains the same, even though the past is behind him. The last line of the song reiterates the speaker's love of the bohemian lifestyle, which he associates with his lost love: "Because my bohemia is you."
