“Histoire d’amour” is Gaël Faye’s joyful declaration that true love does not hide in grand theories but in everyday proofs. From the very first lines, he flips the old saying “there is no love, only evidence” into a thrilling chase where he finally finds his soulmate – a “medicine without prescription” who turns each day into a small victory. The verses dance between tenderness and cheeky wordplay as he vows to fall asleep on her shoulder, scrap all doubts, and love her “à la perpétuité” (for life), no matter what the outside world thinks.
The chorus repeats like a heartbeat while the song bursts with colorful imagery: sparkling stars that gossip, saintly blessings, Haitian loas, the warm hues of coffee and vanilla, and even a playful shout-out to malaria – because intense love can feel feverish. By mixing sacred references (Alléluia, Ave Maria) with everyday sensations, Faye paints love as both divine and deliciously human. In short, “Histoire d’amour” is a vibrant postcard that says: when you find the one who makes life feel real, hold on tight and let every moment become living proof of your story together.
