Michel Sardou (French pronunciation: [miʃɛl saʁdu]) (born 26 January 1947) is a French singer, songwriter and occasional actor.
Sardou was born in Paris, the son of Fernand Sardou and Jackie Caron (Jackie Sardou). He is the grandson of the comedian Valentin Sardou, as well as father of the French novelist Romain Sardou and the actor Davy Sardou.
He is known not only for his love songs ("La Maladie d'Amour", "Je vais t'aimer"), but also for songs dealing with various social and political issues, such as the rights of women in Islamic countries ("Musulmanes"), clerical celibacy ("Le Curé"), colonialism ("Le Temps des colonies", "Ils ont le pétrole mais c'est tout") or the death penalty ("Je suis pour"). Another sometimes controversial theme found in some of his songs ("Les Ricains" and "Monsieur le Président de France" for example) is his respect and support for the culture and foreign policies of the United States of America. He has been accused of being a racist due to his 1976 song "Le Temps des colonies", where he sang positively about colonialism and slavery, but Sardou has always claimed the song was sarcastic. He has concentrated on his homeland, rather than seeking an international audience, although his 1981 single "Les Lacs du Connemara" did manage to become a big international hit (especially in the Netherlands). A number of his hit songs were written in collaboration with Jacques Revaux and Pierre Delanoë, a few others (most notably "En Chantant") with Italian singer Toto Cutugno.
Je t'aime je t'aime
Je t'aime oh oui je t'aime
Je t'aimerai toute ma vie
Je t'aime je t'aime
Je t'aime oh oui je t'aime
Je t'aimerai toute ma vie Pourquoi s'aimer toute une vie
Pourquoi vouloir s'éterniser
Les mots s'envolent
On les oublie
Pourquoi vouloir s'emprisonner Je t'aime je t'aime
Je t'aime oh oui je t'aime
Je t'aimerai toute ma vie
Je t'aime je t'aime
Je t'aime oh oui je t'aime
Je t'aimerai toute ma vie S'aimer pour la beauté du geste
Rester le temps qu'il fait envie
Mais s'il s'enflamme
Et qu'il nous blesse
Ne pas souffrir toute sa vie Je t'aime je t'aime
Je t'aime oh oui je t'aime
Je t'aimerai toute ma vie
Je t'aime je t'aime
Je t'aime oh oui je t'aime
Je t'aimerai toute ma vie Les mots qu'il faut pour nous séduire
Ne sont pas toujours des serments
Pour un court instant de délire
Dormir ensemble infiniment Je t'aime je t'aime
Je t'aime oh oui je t'aime
Je t'aimerai toute ma vie Je t'aime je t'aime
Je t'aime oh oui je t'aime
