A chanson composed in 1900.*1

It was originally one of the songs in the collection "Waltzes and Café Music," with lyrics by Henri Pacoly.

This work is a chanson with lyrics written by Henri Pacoli and music by Satie for Paulette Darty, a popular chanson singer who was known in France at the time as the "queen of slow waltzes".

The title "Je te veux" means "I want you", but it is actually a rare song that has two types of lyrics, one for men and one for women.

The women version says, "Do whatever I say," while the men version says, "Dominate me."

It's more radical and sensual than you'd expect from the elegant melody.

*1.A general term for songs with roots in medieval bards and French songs.
