Quelque Chose Lyrics in English Carla Bruni

Quelque Chose is Carla Bruni’s playful ode to the unnameable spark that flares when two people feel an instant pull toward each other. She keeps calling it “something” because no single word can describe how it rises tenderly, haunts sweetly, hollows us out, then melts back into us until it fits like a glove. With each refrain we join her in wondering, “Mais quel est donc ce quelque chose ?”—a question as old as love itself.

Beneath the soft humming lies the delicious danger of that first rush of passion. This “something” slices through defenses, tosses us around, and grips both heart and body in a dizzying embrace. Bruni hints that when you stumble upon beauty this powerful you might as well cast caution overboard and dive in. The song is a light yet hypnotic reminder that love—mysterious, unstoppable, and dazzling—often arrives without a name, but never without an impact.
