A French Song-Les séparés

[semantic nuance 118]

Hi,

I had listened to this French song years before, and today I came across it again. Still, the tragic story itself deeply saddens me after all these years. Don't know why it always reminds me of the story of Rodin and Camille, though they're irrelevant here.

Very nice songs, nice lyrics in French. It's been a long time since I listened to any songs in French.

Such a sad song, but so beautiful. It really touched my heart.

Thank you for sharing.

but the song is touching.

Savoir qu'on n'écrit pas pour l'autre, savoir que ces choses que je vais écrire ne me feront jamais aimer de qui j'aime, savoir que l'écriture ne compense rien, ne sublime rien, qu'elle est précisément là où tu n'es pas - c'est le commencement de l'écriture. -Roland Barthes

知道不是為另一人而寫，知道我將寫的東西永遠不會使我愛的人愛我，知道寫作無法彌補什麼、昇華什麼，就只是沒有你的地方 – 這就是寫作的濫觴。 -羅蘭巴特

Too bad! zozzen! That blog is about french songs with excellent chinese translations.

The passage you quoted (from Roland Barthes') is also one of my favorites when I visit that blog.

To leeyah: no problem!
