Imagine celebrating love only to be told you are not allowed to have it. In S'aimer C'est Interdit ("Loving Each Other Is Forbidden"), French singer-songwriters Emmanuel Moire and Anne-Laure Girbal share a heartfelt duet about two people whose feelings clash with rules they never wrote. They marvel at how love feels like a heavenly gift, yet confess that fate, family or society has stamped their romance “interdit.” The chorus pulses with contradiction: impossible amour, mais amour infini—an impossible love that is still endless. Each verse is filled with doubt, regret and what-ifs, but also an unbreakable promise: Even far from you, I will be there.
The song explores love’s great paradoxes. You can leave without truly quitting, stay without ever forgetting, or love so deeply that you walk away to shield the other person. Through questions about repeated promises and mistakes, the singers reveal how forbidden passion can both wound and strengthen us. The message is clear: rules might declare s’aimer forbidden, yet real love remains invincible, carving lessons into every heart it touches.
