Variation on the same love you - Variation sur le meme t'aime

Gainsbourg plays with the word "t'aime" from "je t'aime"="I love you" et the word "theme"="theme". They are prononciated exactly the same way.


Variations on the same
Always the same theme
I love you yes I love you
Against that don't know what to do
Of course I love you

It's the same problem
That we cause ourselves
Where we go to the extremes
It's enough to become crazy
But still I love you

We could do variations to the infinite
Day and night
We ask ourselves the same questions
It's enough to loose our reason
Between love and hate
I hate you I love you

Me I arrive in "ennieme" (I don't know how to translate this word: it's just a position but not in the first ones)
Position that's what bother me
Who will be the next one
That you'll fall in love with
No, I don't know who

We could do variations to the infinite
Day and night
We ask ourselves the same questions
It's enough to loose our reason
Between love and hate
I hate you I love you

variations to the infinite
Is it today
That you'll tell me yes or no
It's enough to loose our reason
Maybe it's not neccessary
To stage it
variations to the infinite
Is it yesterday tomorrow today
It's enough to loose our reason
On the theme I love you variations
