Wikipedia article
"'Je vous aime adieu'" (English: "I love you goodbye") is a 1996 song recorded by the French singer Hlne Sgara. It was her second single, and the first from her first album, 'Cur de verre'. Released in April 1996, it was a success in France and Belgium, but did not reach the top ten.
Song information
The lyrics were written by Hlne Segara and Christian Vi, and the music was composed by Thierry Geoffroy and Christian Loigerot. The song deals with the departure of the singer from the French Riviera to Paris where she lived at the time. The B-side is Sgara's first single, "Loin", released in 1993, but which was a relative failure as it did not reach the charts.
"Je vous aime adieu" was performed during Sgara's first tour and thus is included on the live album 'En concert l'Olympia', the sixth track on the first CD. It was also included on Sgara's 2004 compilation album, 'Le Best of' (17th track).
Chart performances
In France, the single started at number 34 on 27 April 1996 and reached a peak of number 13 in its 12th week. It dropped slowly on the chart and remained in the top 20 for 15 weeks and in the top 50 for 21 weeks. (Retrieved May 30, 2008) It was certified a Silver disc by the SNEP.
"Je vous aime adieu" charted for 15 weeks on the Belgian (Wallonia) Ultratop 40 Singles Chart: it debuted at number 31 on 10 August and reached number 16 two weeks later. Although it did not climb higher, it remained for seven weeks in the top 20 and became the 72nd best-selling single of the year.
