QUE MON CORPS FREMIRA SOUS TES MAINS.....

French is such an expressive language, and as i always say, when singing the French songs, so much more expressive than the English translations, which always seem sort of flat compared to the emotion of the originals.  Examples:

"If you leave me", as opposed to  the desperate "Don't leave me"; or "What's left (of our love)?" compared to "I wish you love" - which sounds like a kiss-off to me.  And don't even try to translate (except I am doing it now):  "Tant que l'amour inondra mes matins; que mon corps fremira sous tes mains" - "As long as love floods my mornings, and my body quakes beneath your hands".  The published English words are "If it seemed that everything was lost; I would smile and never mind the cost".  Well, which would you rather hear?  I thought so. Exactement comme je disais......
