J'attendais
The memories of past emotions meet new emotions, breaking the life peace, as with the passage of a peaceful childhood to a more animated adult life. Celine was waiting for someone (Rene) who could make her dream of singing come true.
Je sais pas
This song speaks about a woman who couldn't imagine her life without her man, like Celine with Rene. We can remember that during the concert at the Stade de France in 1999, Celine was crying singing it, as we just learnt about Rene's cancer.
Zora sourit
"For me, Celine tells, Zora does not only represent Algeria but also all those women from all those countries where they just don't have the chance to be free and happy."
The lyrics puts in light the example of a woman who fights for her and for the others, who resists to the insults, who keeps her dignity in spite of the difficulties.
With her steady and frank voice, Celine expresses all these feelings, those of the revolt but also those of the hope.
Cherche encore
It speaks about a man who wants to make his way by himself, but the woman reassures him, and promises to be always there, it's almost like a mother's love for her child.
L'amour existe encore
Celine covered in Spanish version this song which talks about AIDS, Aún existe amor, on her album A New Day Has Come.

Vole
"The day after my last concert at the Olympia (September 1994), Celine tells, Jean-Jacques Goldman sent me the demo of a song entitled Vole... Vole could be the continuation of Mélanie which Eddy Marnay wrote for me a few years ago; a song I dedicated to my little Karine, died the previous spring."
"I think that singing this song, Celine explains, shows to people that, someday, we loose people we love -we too- we seem to be somebody else everytime when we are on TV, but in real life, it touches us, it hurts us, so singing it, it helps us a lot, and we say to ourselves while we sing it : 'maybe somebody who is in the room is loosing someone at the moment and maybe it will help him to go through these difficult moments' because, for me, it helped me a lot."

Prière païenne
Here, it evokes the intimate faiths in the things of life. The lyrics are strong, Celine addresses the sky.
