We loved to drive a million miles
A fastback car and you and I
You craved the speed, I don’t know why
Some simple need to feel alive
Every heart is a weaver
Of dreams of la la la la love and devotion
When the two of us are put into motion
We run on la la la la love and devotion
I really loved ya
Ooh how I loved ya
I used to know you were so loud
A gothic T-shirt in the crowd
You never once could get enough
That DJ made us fall in love
Every heart is a weaver
When the two of us are set into motion
We run on la la la la love and devotion
I really loved ya
Ooh how I loved ya
Every heart is a weaver
Of la la la la love and devotion
When the two of us were set into motion
Of la la love and devotion
We run on la la la la love and devotion
I really loved ya
Ooh how I loved ya
Helena can have this very fragile tone in her voice which is extremely attractive and, to me, very French. When I heard her sing LaLaLove it reminded me of those wonderful Francoise Hardy and France Gall recordings from the '60s. Knowing that Helena’s husband, Martin, speaks French fluently I asked him if he could translate the second verse into French and he did. It’s funny how a song transforms when it’s sung in different languages.
