Seulement Qu'une Aventure


Recommended Posts

Posted

I went through my old Celine stuff the other day and I have found Seulement Qu'une Aventure. It's an interesting song (with an even more interesting video :giggle: ) but I don't know much about it... So I would appreciate every information about it! And if someone would put its translation here I'd be more than grateful!

Thanks!

Hello!

 

Here are the lyrics of this song. It was written in 1985.

 

 

Seulement qu'une aventure

Paroles : Michel Rivard.

Musique: John McGale.

 

Tout seul j'ai marché dans la boue

Souvent j'ai calé jusqu'au cou

À bout de cœur je m'en suis sorti

 

Mais là toi tume tournes l'âme

En jetant mon amour aux flammes

À bout de force je me laisser couler

 

Tu n'étais seulement qu'une aventure

Sur mon cœur de pierre une égratignure

Un peu de chaleur dans la froidure

 

Tu n'étais seulement qu'une aventure

Mais là tu t'amuses à me faire la vie dure

En me laissant tomber en amour avec toé

 

Je gardais dans mon cœur de cuir

Toutes mes amours en statues de cire

Tu les as fait fondre avec un sourire

 

Moé qui jouait les durs à cuire

Me v'là que j't'aime jusqu'au délire

M'as-tu vu les larmes quand je t'entends rire

 

Tu n'étais seulement qu'une aventure

Sur mon cœur de pierre une égratignure

Un peu de chaleur dans la froidure

 

Tu n'étais seulement qu'une aventure

Mais là tu t'amuses à me faire la vie dure

En me laissant tomber en amour avec toé

 

 

 

PS: Are the Esty I know from Hungarian site??? :D

From CelineDionWeb.com:

 

On September 27, 1987, during the TV special Les Beaux Dimanches Spécial Incognito, we could see Céline performing Seulement qu'une aventure.The original version by the french-canadian group Offenbach released in 1985 on their album Rockorama.

I wish Celine would release a 20th anniversary edition of INCOGNITO, including the tv specials, music videos, and "Seulement...".

"People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."

Hello!

 

Young stag are the lyrics of this song. It was written in 1985.

 

 

Only that one adventure

Words: Michel Rivard.

Music: John McGale.

 

All alone I walked in mud

Often I fixed to the neck

To end of heart I left myself there

 

But there you tume turn the heart

By throwing my love with the flames

With end of force I to let itself run

 

You were not only that one adventure

On my stony heart a scratch

A little heat in the coldness

 

You were not only that one adventure

But there you have fun to make me the hard life

By dropping me in love with toé

 

I kept in my leather heart

All my loves in wax statues

You dissolved them with a smile

 

Moé which played the hard ones to cook

Me v' there that I love you until is delirious

You saw me the tears when I hear you laugh

 

You were not only that one adventure

On my stony heart a scratch

A little heat in the coldness

 

You were not only that one adventure

But there you have fun to make me the hard life

By dropping me in love with toé

I would suggest "Just an adventure" as the title translation as she sings "...You were not just an adventure..."

I know this is a old topic but does anyone know why Seulement Qu'une Aventure wasn't released on the "Incognito" CD? Its a really catchy and strong song. It seems such a waste that it was never released in any form other than the TV special, especially considering the fact that Incognito is such a short album

It's a cover, right? I just forgot the band's name who recorded it originally...

NOTE: "Aventure" in french is an "affair." In Engish it sounds like a buisness transaction, in French it sounds, well, like an adventure!

"People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."

- Céline Dion, 1990

Yes, it's a cover. It was orignally recorded by the band called Offenbach. You can see their randition of this song here.

 

Esty, search the Hungarian forum - I remember I posted a longer info about this song there several months ago. ;)

 

And here you can watch Céline's version.

 

Enjoy! I love this song deeply!!! :wub: :wub:
