Serge Gainsbourg - Jane Birkin The song was originally written for and recorded in 1968 with Gainsbourg's then girlfriend, Brigitte Bardot. However, Bardot pleaded with Gainsbourg not to release their recording of the song: she was married at the time, to German businessman Gunter Sachs. Gainsbourg complied. Later that year, Gainsbourg met, and fell in love with, English actress Jane Birkin, on the set of their film Slogan. "Je t'aime... moi non plus" was re-recorded with Birkin replacing Bardot, and was released early in 1969. The explicit eroticism of the song was declared offensive at the time of its release. The lyrics are commonly thought to refer to the taboo theme of engaging in sex without love, and were delivered in a breathy, suggestive style. The song culminates in simulated orgasm sounds by Birkin: mostly because of this, it was banned from radio play in Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and the UK, and denounced by the Vatican in a public statement. I love you I love you Oh yes I love you! Me neither Oh my love Like the surge of a wave I go I go and I come In between your loins I go and I come In between your loins And I hold back I love you, I love you Oh Yes I love you Me neither Oh my love You are the wave I am the naked island You go you go and you come In between my loins You go and you come In between my loins And I join you I love you I love you Oh yes I love you! Me neither Oh my love Like the surge of a wave I go I go and I come In between your loins I go and I come In between your loins And I hold back You come and you go In between my loins And I join you I love you I love you Oh yes I love you Me neither Oh my love Physical love is at a dead end I go I go and I come In between your loins I go and I come In between your loins I hold back No! Now come! |
