Chorus 1
You, my love, my friend
When I dream, it's of you
My love, my friend
When I sing, it's for you
My love, my friend
I can't live without you
My love, my friend
And I don't know why
Verse 1
I've known no other boy but you
If I have, I don't remember
What's the point of making comparisons?
I have a heart that knows when it's right
And since it's taken your name
Chorus 2
You, my love, my friend
When I dream, it's of you
My love, my friend
When I sing, it's for
My love, my friend
I can't live without you
My love, my friend
And I don't know why
Verse 2
Nobody ever knows how far love will go
And I who thought I could love you forever
Yes, I left you and I try to resist in vain
I sometimes sing to others besides you
A little worse each time
Chorus 3
You, my love, my friend
When I dream, it's of you
My love, my friend
When I sing, it's for you
My love, my friend
I can't live without you
My love, my friend
And I don't know why
And I don't know why

résisterto resist

Résister means 'to resist' or 'to withstand'. It's a powerful verb that suggests a struggle against an urge, a feeling, or a situation.

In this song, the singer confesses, "Oui, je t'ai quitté et j'ai beau résister" (Yes, I left you and I try hard to resist). It beautifully captures the internal conflict of trying to move on from a past love, even when the heart still longs for it, making it a very relatable and poignant word.

Get ready for a whirlwind of French romance! "Mon Amour, Mon Ami" which translates to "My Love, My Friend," is a beautiful and passionate declaration of an all-consuming love. The singer expresses that their beloved is the center of their universe, the subject of every dream and every song. This isn't just any love; it's a feeling so profound and certain that the singer's heart knows it's right, making all past relationships fade into oblivion.

But there's a twist! The lyrics reveal a past breakup. Despite leaving and trying to move on, the singer finds that no one else compares. Every attempt to love again feels like a pale imitation of the real thing. The song captures that powerful, unforgettable connection that remains even after separation, a love so deep that the singer admits, "Je ne peux vivre sans toi" (I can't live without you), even if they don't fully understand why.
