The rain keeps falling
Come closer, my dear
If the storm makes you tremble
Come closer, my dear
The wind that chases from the heavy sky
Gray clouds
Can't do anything against our love
And all night
Come closer, closer to my heart
There, all against me
And if the storm scares you
Sleep in my arms
I will kiss you, rock you
Will bring you comfort
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
We will stay here, alone down here
That you and me, body to body, but come
When the sun rises
I know it too well
Like the rain, you will leave
When we are so good
Good, good, good, good
In this barn
Let's spread out on the ripe wheat
Destiny has strange ideas
When lightning tears through the blue
See, you're shivering
Yet you want to leave already
We are not expected from anyone
And the sky tells us to stay there
There
The rain keeps falling
Come closer, my dear
If the storm makes you tremble
Come closer, my dear
The wind that chases from the heavy sky
Gray clouds
No, can't do anything against our love
And all night
Come closer, closer to my heart
There, all against me
And if the storm scares you
Sleep in my arms
I will kiss you, rock you
Will bring you comfort
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
We will stay here, alone down here
That you and I, body to body, come
When the sun rises
I know it too well
Like the rain, you will leave
When we're so good, good, good
Well, well, come on, come on
Come on, come on, well, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on

azur — azure / deep blue

Azur refers to a deep, clear blue color, often associated with the sky or sea. While it's a color, it's less common than 'bleu' and carries a more poetic and evocative feel.

In the lyrics, "Quand les éclairs déchirent l'azur" (When the lightning tears through the azure), it paints a vivid and dramatic image of a stormy sky. This word adds a touch of elegance and intensity to the description, making it stand out.

What the song is about

"Viens" ("Come") is Charles Aznavour singing to someone he loves during a storm, asking her to come closer while the rain falls and the thunder rolls. He promises to hold her, keep her warm, and shield her from the fear the storm brings.

But the shelter is only for the night. He already knows that when the sun comes up, she will leave, just as surely as the rain will pass. The song holds both feelings at once: the comfort of being close to someone right now, and the quiet sadness of knowing it will not last past sunrise.

It is a classic Aznavour theme: love as something intense but fleeting, worth living fully even when you know how it ends.
