Donnez-moi Lyrics in English Les Frangines

In “Donnez-moi” (Give Me), French singer-songwriter Les Frangines rattles off a wish list any dreamer might envy: the four seasons, art, beauty, gold, even a sailboat. Yet every chorus pauses the shopping spree with a sobering question: “If I don’t love myself, if I don’t love you, what’s the point?” The song playfully stacks worldly prizes sky-high only to knock them down with the simple, universal truth that without love—both self-love and love for others—everything else feels empty.

By the second verse, the lyrics remind us that fame, fortune, and conquests are hollow trophies if our hearts stay untouched. The message lands in one bright sentence: “Aimer, c’est recevoir et savoir tout donner” (“To love is to receive and to know how to give everything”). In other words, real wealth lies not in what we accumulate but in what we share. “Donnez-moi” turns a catchy folk-pop melody into a life lesson: collect seasons, art, and treasures if you must, but remember that only love can make any of it shine.
