Description
Translation - I love you very much or I love you a lot. The French phrase was part of the title of a hit song by 50s crooner Nat King Cole. It had been written by Anna Sosenko in 1935 and was introduced in a film called "Love and Hisses" by singer Hildegarde. Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup topped the pop charts (peaking at #7) in 1955, cleverly interspersing French and English phrases in such a way that even non-French speakers could figure out what the lyrics meant. However, no truly romantic Frenchman would use the formal "je vous aime" (second person plural) to tell his beloved that he loves her a lot - he'd say, "Ma cherie, je t'aime beaucoup" - the more informal and more intimate second person singular. You can hear Nat King Cole's lovely version here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNzxH3zRU_I&feature=kp

Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
Je ne sais pas what to do
You know you've completely
Stolen my heart.
Morning, noon and night-time too
Toujours, wondering what to do
That's the way I've felt
Right from the start.
Ah, cherie!
My love for you is tres, tres fort
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more.
But I hope that you compree (compris is actual spelling)
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do.
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more.
But I hope that you compree
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do.
(darling, je vous aime beaucoup)
I love you, yes I do.
