Beatles · Rubber soul

Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle

Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
tres bien ensemble

I love you, I love you, I love you
that's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
tres bien ensemble

I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me
Until I do I'm hoping you will know what I mean
I love you

I want you, I want you, I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you some how
Until I do I'm telling you so you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
tres bien ensemble
And I will say the only words I know that you'll understand
My Michelle

Released on the 1965 album Rubber Soul, "Michelle" stands as a pivotal moment in The Beatles' evolution from pop performers to serious songwriters. Written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon-McCartney, the track marked a significant shift toward jazz and blues influences, featuring a distinctive double-tracked vocal harmony and a complex, syncopated rhythm section. Its inclusion on Rubber Soul signaled the band's growing sophistication and willingness to experiment with studio techniques and unconventional song structures. The song remains a cornerstone of their discography, celebrated for its melodic beauty and McCartney's refined vocal delivery, cementing its status as a definitive example of mid-1960s British rock.
