[edit] Song information
The music was composed by Michel Jourdan, Fernando Brito and M. Trinidade. It is based on a Portuguese fado covered in a Mediterranean style with a melodic tune played on piano. The percussion use the cadence of a languorous belly dance.[1] As for the previous single, "Elle, tu l'aimes..." deals with a love that is not shared. In the music video, the singer loves a man that is getting married to another woman.
Performed during Ségara's first tour, the song is also available in a live version on her album En concert à l'Olympia. The song was also included on the singer compilation Le Best of. It also features on many French compilations, such as Les Plus Grandes Chansons du siècle, vol. 2 and Les Plus Belles Victoires de la Musique, released in 2002.
