France Gall: Lumiére du Jour (Daylight)


Today’s Video du Jour is a song that was written, composed and sang by Michel Berger – he dedicated it to his wife France Gall after their son Raphaël was born.   A beautiful love message to the love of his life – beautiful and touching words as always with texts written by Michel Berger.

In this video, France Gall sings Lumiére du Jour – it was part of her 1996 album “France”.  At that time, it had been 4 years that she had lost him already – how emotional it must have been for her to sing this back to him so many years later and not having him by her side.   Beautifully done and full of emotions.

Lumiére du jour – Daylight

Lumiére du jour

Written and Composed by Michel Berger

On se regarde tous avec indifférence
En chiens de faïence
Si on se rapproche, si par hasard on danse
C’est comme une défaillance
Mais moi
Tu vois
J’ai toi

Tu es ma lumière du jour
Tu es mon ultime recours
Et je t’appelle au secours
Perdu dans la nuit qui m’entoure
Mais comment vivre, dans un trou noir
Moi j’ai besoin d’y voir

Tu es ma lumière du jour
Tu es mon ultime recours
Si je t’appelle, tu accours
Tu es mon premier secours
Ma lumière du jour

Lumière du jour

Et moi
Tu vois
J’ai toi

Tu es ma lumière du jour
Tu es mon ultime recours
Et si le poids se fait trop lourd
J’appelle ton nom à mon secours
Lumière du jour
Lumière du jour
Lumière du jour

Ma lumière du jour
