SONG MEANING

Si J’avais Su is Claudio Capéo’s moving reminder that time never stops, so our words of love shouldn’t wait either. Through nostalgic images — from comparing a loved one’s wrinkles to ocean waves to imagining laughter echoing in a hospital room — the singer rewinds the clock and lists everything he would have said or done if he had known this was their final goodbye. Each line feels like a heartfelt post-it note stuck to moments we often take for granted.

The song blends warmth, humor and sorrow to teach a powerful lesson: speak up, cherish people, and share affection today, because life rarely warns us when it is the “first time we see someone for the last time.” It is both a gentle hug and a playful nudge, encouraging listeners to swap silence for sincerity, and to turn everyday encounters into unforgettable memories.
