Pas Toi lyrics used for Rumba in DALS4
 

As with many of Alizee's songs, old and new, I either try and learn the lyrics just well enough to understand the song but in several cases, I try to learn the song well. The latter is the case with Tal's Pas Toi that was used when Alizee and Gregoire danced to it in the final episode of DALS4. Now in the DALS version they used a shortened version, leaving out several lines, but also changing one of the lines. Below is a picture of the lyrics with the line that was changed underlined in green. Can anyone figure this one line out or has somebody already done that?

I just watched that dance again and read along with the lyrics. I think it's one of those crossed out lines, "Reste l'absence, obstinément"

You're right. I should have noticed that. Thanks Ray!
Wikipedia says "The song deals with a non-reciprocal love" which you could pretty much tell by Alizee's and Gregoire's performance.

Actually it was hard to read along with the lyrics rather than watch the dance. I really enjoy watching that performance (well, all of them) because she just seemed to be having a great time. And for me I think about how wonderful the experience was for her, to participate and then win that season.

I think it's kind of ironic that she was in this performance portraying a person who's love was unrequited, but in the beginning of DALS it was his love for her that wasn't being returned.

It's also kind of funny that she wanted a gay partner in the beginning because she wanted no distractions, but on this final day of the tournament there was in my opinion a very big distraction in the form of Gregoire, but I think she was in love with him at this point and emotions can add a lot to a performance and I wonder how much the emotions of this new relationship added to their performances. I would think quite a bit.

Then getting back to the song, unless this short version already existed, it sounded like Tal put a lot of emotion into this song for Alizee and Alizee knew that and fed off that in her performance. It helped her bring out her best and that's why she could hardly let go of Tal after the scores were presented.
