I love you
Passionately, you love me
Sufficiently, for me to stay
But why do I stay?
Surely, because I love you
Passionately, you love me
Sufficiently, for me to stay
But why do I stay?
Love is such
That we forgive everything
None of us is crazy
Except for love
We hear, we see
We don't want to
No, I'm not blind
I just don't want to see
Let me believe in it
Let me cry
All because I love you
Passionately, you love me
Sufficiently, for me to stay
But why do I stay?
But because, me, I love you
Passionately, you love me
Sufficiently, for me to stay
Why do I stay?
One day maybe you will love me
Madly, like I love you
One day maybe you will love me
One day
Maybe
But for now, me, I love you
Passionately, and you, you love me
Sufficiently, for me to stay
So for you, I stay

SuffisammentEnough / Sufficiently

Suffisamment means "enough" or "sufficiently." It's a seemingly simple word, but in the context of this song, it carries a profound emotional weight.

The singer questions a love that is only "suffisamment" (enough) to make her stay, rather than a passionate, all-consuming love. This contrast highlights the bittersweet and often painful reality of a relationship where one person loves more deeply than the other, making it a poignant and memorable word choice.

Have you ever felt like you were giving more in a relationship than you were getting back? Zaho de Sagazan's song "Suffisamment" dives deep into this feeling. The title itself means "Enough," and it's the key to the whole song. The singer describes a love that is unbalanced: she loves her partner passionnément (passionately), while her partner loves her just suffisamment (enough) to make her stay.

Throughout the song, she questions why she stays, even though she knows the love isn't equal. She admits she's not blind to the situation, but she simply doesn't want to see the truth. Instead, she holds onto a powerful hope: that "one day maybe" her partner will love her à la folie (madly), just like she loves them. It's a beautiful and heartbreaking look at choosing to stay for the possibility of a better future, even when the present is painful.
