About C'Est Fini

"Capri c'est fini" is the first single of French singer Hervé Vilard. The French song written and sung by him was released on Mercury Records and became a huge French and international hit in the summer of 1965 along with Christophe's hit song Aline, launching Vilard's career and making him instantly famous. The song sold 3.3 million copies. Vilard released 7 language versions of the song. The inspiration came when Vilard saw a promotional travel poster of the Italian island Capri in a Paris Métro station. "C'est fini" comes from a popular song of Charles Aznavour of the same title. The song talks about a break-up of an earlier relationship that had started in Capri.

Je ne peux détacher
Mes yeux de ton visage
Et ne peux m'empêcher
De penser à demain
Qui s'annonce déjà
Comme un mauvais orage
Qui lavera nos rires
A l'eau de mon chagrin

J'ai le cœur déchiré
Et j'ai mal de comprendre
Que les mots que tu dis
Veulent tous dire adieu
Je regarde sans voir
J'écoute sans entendre
Le chagrin me surprend
Debout silencieux

Je rêve de passé
Quand le présent t'emporte
Qu'il ne me reste plus
Qu'à te serrer la main
Je voudrais la garder
Mais nos amours sont mortes
A deux pas de mon cœur
Tu es déjà si loin

C'est fini fini fini fini fini fini fini

Se peut-il qu'un bonheur
Qui tenait tant de place
Et donnait tant de joie
Disparaisse à jamais
Effaçant de ta vie
Même jusqu'à la trace
Du moindre souvenir
Que l'amour nous a fait

Je ne sais comment faire
Et je ne sais que dire
Je veux paraître fort
Une dernière fois
Les larmes au coin des yeux
Je me force à sourire
D'un sourire forcé
Qui ne te trompe pas

Trop lâche pour mourir
Bien qu'effrayé de vivre
Je compte sur l'oubli
Pour trouver le repos
Il faudra m'habituer
Dans les années à suivre
A des jours sans ta voix
A des nuits sans ta peau

C'est fini fini fini fini fini fini fini
