Je fais de toi mon essentiel – Emmanuel Moire. French lyrics and English translation.
his is a love song from the successful French musical Le Roi Soleil about the life of Louis XIV. Emmanuel Moire plays Louis XIV, and he sings this song to his love Marie who has prayed by his bedside for months while he has been unconscious and bedridden. Marie is worried that they can’t be together because she is not of noble birth, and it is therefore against the law for him (the King) to marry her. Louis is not concerned with this and so he sings her this song about how she is his “essential.” I totally fell in love with this song the first time I heard it, and maybe you will too.
