Lyric discussion by freedom 

Cover art for Pourtant lyrics by Vanessa Paradis

yeah, that's kind of it, but i dont think it's that the guy's with someone else...more that he's worrying about things and asking about what happiness means to her, and she's basically saying that it shouldn't frighten him or something. Here's a translation by by french friends Gwen & Amelie anyway;

Pourtant - Nevertheless

You asked yesterday My opinion of happiness Without looking like it now you worry Peace seems to frighten you

I am firering up (teasing) this love The twigs flutter You are dazzled It's my secret life Nevertheless... Nevertheless... Nevertheless...

The words are, the words do, the words say The words flow, the words roll on a string Me, I leave these microbes, these missiles For the talkative (chatterbox/gossips), for the poets if possible Oh... I love you so when you explain yourself It's funny but...

I put the fashions and the recipes away Put the box on fire, my heart This little sacrifice stays for me A dizziness, a warmth (heat)

I am firering up (teasing) this love The twigs flutter You are dazzled It's my secret life Nevertheless... Nevertheless... Nevertheless...

You know, you asked me yesterday My vision of happiness Eh well, each day it's clearer to me It won't frighten us anymore

I am firering up (teasing) this love The twigs flutter You are dazzled It's my secret life Nevertheless... Nevertheless... Nevertheless
