Le temps de l'amour - Françoise Hardy - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Le Temps de l'Amour" is a timeless French pop song by Françoise Hardy, released in 1964 as part of her second studio album, Françoise Hardy (also known as Le Premier Bonheur du Jour). Written by André Salvet and Lucien Morisse, with music composed by Jacques Dutronc’s early band, Les Fantômes, the song blends elegant chanson with the cool, melancholic tones of 1960s yé-yé music. Featuring a hypnotic rhythm, dreamy guitar riffs, and Françoise Hardy’s signature understated vocals, "Le Temps de l'Amour" evokes the bittersweet emotions of young love—its excitement, its fleeting nature, and its nostalgic beauty. The song’s lyrics describe love as both a time of happiness and deep emotion, perfectly capturing the spirit of the era’s romantic idealism. Though initially popular in France, the song found new audiences worldwide decades later, especially after being featured in Wes Anderson’s 2012 film Moonrise Kingdom, which introduced Françoise Hardy’s music to a new generation.
