Imperfect Match

"I've loved you for so long. I will never forget you. I have been regretting that I didn't give you the rose bouquet that you wanted. I want roses to bloom again and then I want to give the rose bouquet to you."


This is a part of the lyrics from a French song called "À la claire fontaine."

I saw the movie "The Painted Veil." This French song was used in the scene where the main character died. I cried a lot because I knew the meaning of the lyrics. 

After seeing the movie, I told a French friend that the song was beautiful. However, he said the song  is for kids in France and it doesn't relate to death.

"Ehhhhh!?"

That scene and the song were a perfect match. Moreover, those lyrics are for kids? What a surprise!
