Tout L'amour Qu'on Donne Lyrics in English Marc Dupré

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tout L'amour Qu'on Donne by Marc Dupré from French to English.
You stayed for him
You wiped the rain from his eyes
In your arms
You comforted him
You lived
But he
He wanted to start his life over
Without the love you gave him
All the love we give
Doesn't die
It'll bloom somewhere else
It'll heal somewhere else
All the love we give
It'll come back to us
But it alone knows the time and place
He'd rather run away
Rebuild himself before coming back
To warm up
The abandoned angels
You'll see him draw near
At once different, familiar
Like day comes back after night
All the love we give
Doesn't die
It'll bloom somewhere else
He'll grow somewhere else
All the love we give
It'll come back to us
But it alone knows the time and place
All the love, all the love
Goes somewhere
Where love, where love
Wait and see
All the love, all the love
Goes somewhere
Where love, where love
Wait to believe it
All the love, all the love
Goes somewhere
Where love, where love
Waits for you tonight
All the love we give
Doesn't die
It'll bloom somewhere else
He'll grow somewhere else
All the love we give
It'll come back to us
But it alone knows the time and place
All the love we give
Doesn't die
It'll bloom somewhere else
He'll grow somewhere else
All the love we give
It'll come back to us
But it alone knows the time and place
All the love we give
Doesn't die
It'll bloom somewhere else
He'll grow somewhere else

s'éteintgoes out / fades away

S'éteint comes from the verb s'éteindre, which literally means "to extinguish" or "to go out" (like a light or a fire). It's a more evocative word than simply saying something ends.

In the context of the song, it's used to describe how love doesn't simply disappear. The lyric "Tout l'amour qu'on donne ne s'éteint pas" means "All the love we give doesn't fade away," suggesting that love, even when unrequited, transforms and continues to exist elsewhere rather than being extinguished.

Feel like your love is floating off into the universe? Marc Dupré, the charismatic Canadian singer-songwriter, is here to reassure you. In Tout L'amour Qu'on Donne he paints the picture of someone who has poured their heart into a partner who suddenly wants to start over. While that sounds heartbreaking, the chorus flips the script: “Tout l'amour qu'on donne ne s'éteint pas” — all the love you give never really dies. Instead, it blooms elsewhere, growing, healing, and eventually circling back to you when the time and place are right.

Think of it as an uplifting boomerang theory of romance. Even if a person runs away to “rebuild” themselves, the affection you offered does not vanish. It drifts, takes root, and shows up again in surprising ways, warming “abandoned angels” or returning to you in a brand-new form. Dupré’s message is both comforting and empowering: keep loving generously, because every bit of heartfelt energy you send out will someday find its way home — and probably when you least expect it.
