A 1997 folk-punk song from the French group Louise Attaque and co-produced with Gordon Gano from the American group Violent Femmes.
With its simple and catchy chorus and soaring violin, this has become a classic of French rock.
The song is a plea for eternal, as opposed to superficial, love, with a desire to escape.
“J’t’emmène au vent (I am taking you the wind)
Je t’emmène au-dessus des gens” (I am taking you above the crowd)
“Notre amour est éternel (Our love is everlasting)
Et pas artificiel” (And not artificial)
Throughout the song, the singer pleads for his lover to be more present and to sometimes take the lead. In the last sentences, notre amour (our love) is replaced by notre amourette (our fling)
Revealing an ideal rather than an actual reality
Allez viens, j’t’emmène au vent
Je t’emmène au dessus des gens
Et je voudrais que tu te rappelles
Notre amour est éternel
Et pas artificiel
Je voudrais que tu te ramènes devant
Que tu sois là de temps en temps
Et je voudrais que tu te rappelles
Notre amour est éternel
Et pas artificiel
Je voudrais que tu m’appelles plus souvent
Que tu prennes parfois le devant
Et je voudrais que tu te rappelles
Notre amour est éternel
Et pas artificiel
Je voudrais que tu sois celle que j’entends
Allez viens j’t’emmène au dessus des gens
Et je voudrais que tu te rappelles
Notre amour est éternel
Artificiel
Je voudrais que tu te ramènes devant
Que tu sois là de temps en temps
Et je voudrais que tu te rappelles
Notre amour est éternel
Et pas artificiel
Je voudrais que tu te ramènes devant
Que tu sois là de temps en temps
Et je voudrais que tu te rappelles
Notre amour est éternel
Et pas artificiel
Je voudrais que tu te ramènes devant
Que tu sois là de temps en temps
Et je voudrais que tu te rappelles
Notre amour est éternel
Et pas artificiel
Je voudrais que tu te ramènes devant
Que tu sois là de temps en temps
Et je voudrais que tu te rappelles
Notre amour est éternel
Et pas artificiel
Je voudrais que tu te ramènes devant
Que tu sois là de temps en temps
Et je voudrais que tu te rappelles
Notre amour est éternel
Et pas artificiel
Come on, I’ll take you to the wind
I am taking you above the crowd
And I would like you to remember
Our love is eternal
and not superficial
I would like you to step up
To be there from time to time
And I would like you to remember
Our love is eternal
And not superficial
I would like you to call me more often
And for you to sometimes take the lead
And I would like to remember
Our eternal love
And not superficial
I would like you to be the one
that I hear
Come on, I’ll take you above the crowd
And I would like you to remember
Our love is eternal
(not) superficial
I would like you to take the lead
For you to be here from time to time
And I would like you to remember
Our love is eternal
And not superficial
I would like you to take the lead
For you to be here from time to time
And I would like you to remember
Our love is eternal
and not superficial
I would like you to take the lead
For you to be here from time to time
And I would like you to remember
Our love is eternal
not superficial
I would like you to step forth
To be there from time to time
And I would like you to remember
Our love is eternal and not superficial
I would like you to step forth
To be there from time to time
And I would like you to remember
Our love is eternal
and not the superficial
