Quelqu’un M’a Dit (“Someone Told Me”) is Carla Bruni’s hushed folk confession about the fragile line between doubt and hope in love. Above a gentle acoustic guitar, she wonders if life is truly as fleeting as people say, if time really steals our joys the way roses lose their petals. Yet a single rumor — someone told me you still love me — slips through the gloom like a sunbeam, making her heartbeat race with possibility.
Bruni balances philosophical musings with intimate vulnerability. Fate may mock us, promises may crumble, and reason may whisper that happiness is out of reach, but the tiniest spark of hearsay is enough to ignite yearning all over again. The song invites listeners to savor that delicious uncertainty: can love survive the passing of time, or is it only a sweet illusion? Until the truth is known, the rumor itself becomes a tender comfort, wrapping the singer (and us) in a coat woven from equal parts melancholy and hope.
