This number is sung when Angèle (Taina Elg) shares a romantic boat ride on the Seine with Barry (Gene Kelly) and sings this song to him because she’s falling for him. The title of the song translates as “That’s love.”
(Spoken intro)
Barry, for me, real love is when suddenly you sight someone for whom you yearn
(Song)
Ça c'est l'amour
And when to your delight
She loves you in return
Ça c'est l'amour
Then dawns a dreary day
Your darling goes away
And all is over, you are sure
But oh, when he returns
And loves you as before
You take him in your lonely arms
And want him even more
Ça c'est l'amour
Ça c'est l'amour
Ça c'est l'amour
Ça, C’est l’Amour was written by Cole Porter.
Taina Elg released Ça, C’est l’Amour on Thu Aug 01 1957.
