Interpretation
The lyrics of the song "Aide-moi à t'aider" by
Eddy Mitchell are about the fear of losing the loved one and the desire to help them. The singer asks their partner for support and warns them not to pretend to try to help. They feel lost and hopeless, as they have neither God nor a master to turn to. Their only fear is losing their partner.
The singer expresses how much they love their partner and that they are willing to meet their needs: "Aime comme je veux t'aimer" (Love as I want to love you). They dream of listening to their partner and understanding their words: "Si j'peux entendre alors je rêve [...] D'écouter maintenant" (If I can hear, then I dream [...] Listening now). They are afraid that their love is not enough to keep their partner: "Et pourtant t'es pas unique sur terre" (And yet you are not unique on earth).
The singer emphasizes that they are not playing, but being sincere, and that they will change to not lose their partner: "Je joue pas j'suis sincère / Si j'me r'refais pas j'te perd" (I'm not playing, I'm sincere / If I don't change, I'll lose you). They ask their partner not to seek harsh words to heal old wounds, but to be honest and try to save their relationship: "Cherche pas à trouver / Tous ces mots si durs à cicatriser" (Don't try to find all those harsh words to heal).
The singer expresses their hope that their partner stays with them and that they don't have to grow old alone: "Vieillir en solitaire" (Growing old alone). They emphasize once again their fear of losing their partner and that they are not unique: "Et pourtant t'es pas unique sur terre" (And yet you are not unique on earth). At the end of the song, they repeat the chorus and emphasize that their greatest wish is not to lose their partner.
