French Mother/Son Wedding Song?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a close friend getting married next month. Her fiance and his family are from Quebec and she is looking for a French Celine song for her husband-to-be to dance with his mom to at the reception.

 

I am at a loss here. Help, Celiniacs!

I think that would be more for a husband hehe

It is a song for Rene-Charles, just like Je Lui Dirai. :P

Celle qui m'a tout appris or maybe Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi

"Always Be Your Girl" :sofunny: Yes it's not French but....Sorry just had to put it out there....

 

I'm sure you'll find the right one :)

Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi

This is an interesting choice. Maybe it would work.

I thought it was for her husband, Rene?

 

Il a le regard économe

Il a le verbe rare, ça me plaît

Il aime le chant des colombes et l'odeur du café

Et ces petites choses qu'on fait sans y penser

C'est mon homme, mon drapeau

Mon homme, celui qu'il me faut

Je frissonne, je prends l'eau

C'est mon homme, mon abri, mon lit, mon héros

Il ne saurait pas comment briller

Ou comme un phare banal, oublié

Dans sa mer ordinaire

Il brise les vagues sans voir

Ces milliers de lumières

Qu'il m'offre sans le vouloir

C'est mon homme, mon drapeau

Mon homme, celui qu'il me faut

Je frissonne, je prends l'eau

C'est mon homme, mon feu, mon repos

C'est mon homme, mon ami

Qui pardonne, celui qu'on choisit

Je tâtonne comme je faillis

C'est mon homme qui fait ce qu'il dit

C'est mon homme, je l'admire

Mon ozone, l'air que je respire

Mon opium, mon jour

Oh mon homme, mon toit, mon chemin

Mon amour

 

 

 

He has a thrifty glance

He speaks rarely, I like that

He likes the cooing of the doves and the smell of coffee

And these little things we do without thinking of it

He’s my man, my flag

My man, the one I need

I tremble, I sink

He’s my man, my shelter, my bed, my hero

He wouldn’t know how to shine

Or like a common lighthouse, forgotten

In his ordinary sea

He breaks the waves without seeing

These thousands of lights

He offers me not on purpose

He’s my man, my flag

My man, the one I need

I tremble, I sink

He's my man, my fire, my rest

He’s my man, my friend

Who forgives, the one I chose

I hesitate, I fail

He’s my man who does what he says

He’s my man, I admire him

My ozone, the air which I breathe

My opium, my day

Oh my man, my roof, my path

My love

Um... This is hard. Maybe something like always be your girl but in french? I don't know too many English translations. I had out pour que tu M'aimes encore but then I realized I read it wrong and thought it said something else. Edited by CelineDionFreak

I didn't know love until they loved me back to life because somebody loves somebody!

I was always quite sure it was for Rene, too - didn't make sense any other way, and so perfect for him. Julie Snyder thought so, too -- she made it the soundtrack when Celine was talking about Rene in this special (starts at 8:20):

Definitely a hard choice. I think it has to be a song with lyrics that many people can relate to, not something very personal/specific about Celine.

I agree with Alex, "Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi" could be the best option for this special moment.

You are right. Let them dance to Je Lui Dirai then. :D
