Domestic violence involves an imbalance of power between partners. It often includes recurrent episodes of control, resulting in harmful violent behaviours (https://shorturl.at/XO2gB). The latter could be physical, verbal, sexual, and/or emotional.
Domestic violence can occur to anyone in all types of couple relationships, whether intimate or not. These relationships may be heterosexual or homosexual. Last but not least, domestic violence can be experienced by men too. However, it mostly affects women, regardless of their age, socio-economic status, culture, and/or income (https://shorturl.at/XO2gB).
The above being said, Bambi was touched by Mr. Claudio Capeo’s new song devoted to the theme of domestic violence. Following the YouTube video, you can find an English translation of its French lyrics. Thanks to Mr. Google Translate for his assistance.
Lyrics of the song “T’en aller” [Time to Go] by Claudio Capéo
He tells you that he loves you and that you are beautiful
He caresses you with rose thorns
He promises you the moon and promises you honey
He tells you it’s your fault when he explodes
He hurts you, he hurts you
But love to death is nothing normal
He knows he’s wrong, he knows you’re hurt
But love to death
Swings all his letters to the wind
Regrets every time
All is calm before the storm
But you have to go
And leave his arms of hell
You have to leave the boat drunk
You need to talk about it
And raise words so that we can help you
Before the worst happens to you
But you have to go
But you have to go
Where did the love go? Where did the charm go?
What do you do when you’ve become his thing?
What to say when the pillow has become a weapon?
When your freedom is a closed door?
When words are strong and words are hard
When love to death becomes a sure hit
And all the gold in the world is not armour
When love is wrong
Swing all these letters to the wind
Regrets every time
You think about the promises he made to you
But you have to go and leave these arms of hell
You have to leave the boat drunk, you have to talk about it
And raise words so that we can help you before the worst happens to you
But you have to go
But you have to go
During the day the wind rises and the horizon is clear
There will be traces left but you will finally be freed
But you have to go and leave these arms of hell
You have to leave the boat drunk, you have to talk about it
And raise words so that we can help you before the worst happens to you
But you have to go
But you have to go”.
