C'EST TOI MON GRAND AMOUR
C'est toi, tu es mon grand amour.
C'est toi, tu es mon meilleur ami.
C'est toi, tu es mon amour de ma vie.
C'est toi, amour veut tout sans nombre,
amour n’a point de loi.
C'est toi, je ne puis demeurer loin
de toi plus longtemps.
C'est toi, tu es mon grand amour...
C'est toi, merci de m'aimer
et je t’aime...

Here's to someone very special in my life, "C'est Toi Mon Grand Amour," my simple, refrain poem, but filled with much appreciation, respect, and affection, written just for you to celebrate friendship, life, love, and especially you. Yes, I'm especially celebrating you for being in existence and for being in my life.
"C'est Toi Mon Grand Amour" is the French version of the romantic and beautiful song "You Make Me Feel Brand New." This timeless love song was written in 1974 by Thom Bell and Linda Creed. Since its birth and up to this day, this song has become one the most requested songs for Valentine's days and wedding days because it celebrates love and lovers. I think ultimately your partners/spouses should forever be your lovers and should be cherished and honored like the first time or the beginning of our love. Only then, we can truly keep the romance unity candle burning 'til the end of time. :0)
This poem is being featured in the music clip "C'est Toi Mon Grand Amour," performed by Johnny Farago, and uploaded by me on my YouTube channel.
Although the French version is not the translation of the English version, I still like the French lyrics as much as the English lyrics. I featured both of these songs on my YouTube channel.

Thanks for your posts on YouTube. The song was written when I was only 13 years old, a grade 7 student at a small village junior high school. I don't know why when I was listening to the song I remembered that time of my life.

Hello, anh Quang, you're very welcome. Yes, I can relate to what you're saying here. Many wonderful songs of yesteryears have become a big part of our lives because they connect us to our unforgettable memories of the past in one way or another--might be through self-experience, or perhaps, through the eyes of our parents, older siblings, role models, etc. that were told to us when we were young. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHello, WhiteLibraTexas,
ReplyDeleteIf I omit the comma (,) after "Only then," in your sentence, "Only then, we can truly keep the romance unity candle burning 'til the end of time."
It should be like this:
Only then CAN we truly keep the romance unity candle burning 'til the end of time."
Right?
Anh Quang
Hi, anh Quang! Yes, as a rule of thumb, when a sentence starts with a negative adverb or with the simple adverb such as "only" (i.e. only if, only when, only then, etc.), and without a comma, the inversion would take place, where the subject and verb, or auxiliary verb, are inverted. In formal writing, that's the preferred style. :0)
ReplyDeleteI'm eager for your new post.
ReplyDeleteToo busy to write?

I saw many of your videos on YouTube, and read much about you and your husband and love your story and the love you have for each other. My wife had a stroke about 3 years ago right after I was laid off from my job, she nearly died, I visited her in the hospital everyday, held her hand and played music for her while she was in a coma. Much of the music was from your YouTube channel. She is now paralyzed on her left side and I administer therapy everyday. Can't afford a professional therapist. I love your story and thought I would share mine.
