Song Meaning
A soul in pursuit of the divine opens this song with a question of absence — the beloved has hidden, fled, and left a wound behind. The imagery moves outward into the natural world: scaling the highest clouds, scouring wooded valleys, crossing roaring torrents and whispering gales in search of the one who vanished. That restless searching is the song's engine, and it gives way to a simple, repeated declaration in French: "Vous etes mon coeur." The turn comes when the seeker recalls being seen first — the beloved's gaze filling them with grace, which in turn restores their own capacity to adore. It is a quietly reciprocal moment, grace enabling the very love that was being chased. The song carries the cadence of a contemplative poem, echoing the language of mystical devotion, where absence and longing are not obstacles to union but the shape it takes. The repeated French line functions almost like a breath prayer, anchoring the wandering verses in a single confession of belonging. Rather than resolving the ache of the search, the lyrics let it stand alongside the assurance of being known, so that longing and grace hold together in the same breath.

Where have you hidden yourself oh my beloved
You fled having wounded
I pursued but you had gone
In search of you my darling I would scale the highest clouds
Scour wooded valleys, roaring torrents whispering gales
Vous etes mon coeur
When you first regarded me
Your eyes filled me with grace
Thereby again my eyes
Merited to adore you
Vous etes mon coeur
