This is a song about a guy who falls in love with a French girl. She keeps saying "Jamais" (never), so he has to ask her the right questions.
Story behind the song
I woke up one morning, remembering a dream with some girls singing the chorus of this song. I sang it into my phone, still very tired and with a rusty voice.
The chorus with the French word for "Never" - "Jamais", kept popping up in my head in the days after, so I made it into a song about a guy who goes to Paris. He falls in love with a French girl, but she keeps saying, that she would never marry him. But he proves his love to her, and she ends up saying that she will never leave him.
The song icon is a picture of the Sacre Coeur church in Paris, where he meets her for the first time.
Lyrics
I went to Paris, when I was young.
I met a girl there, who had a song.
There on the steps to Sacre Coeur,
She said: “Pardonnez-moi Monsieur!".
And then she sang a song to me.
I said: When will you marry me?
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
She did not want to, get stuck in love.
Oh, she had been there and had enough!
That girl was incomparable
Our time was unforgettable
I tried so hard to make her stay
And asked: When will you go away?
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
Now we’re together, both day and night.
We fumbled blindly, but got it right.
Rejection turned to: “Oui, je t’aime.
And now she loves me “tout de même".
She is a keeper, that’s for sure.
When is the end of our “Amour"?
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
Jamais! Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!
