"Tu trouveras" (English translation: "You Will Find") is the name of a 2002 song recorded by Canadian singer Natasha St-Pier and French singer Pascal Obispo. It was composed by Obispo and written by Lionel Florence.
It was released as the first single from Natasha St-Pier's third album, De l'amour le mieux, on which it features as first track. The song reached number one position on the charts in Quebec and became a top three hit in France and Belgium (Wallonia). It was frequently aired on radio, remaining to date St-Pier's most successful single in terms of sales.
Song information
The music was written by famous composer Lionel Florence, and composed by Pascal Obispo, who also participated in the production of the song. The song is a ballad, in which the female singer expresses to her lover her weaknesses and insecurities. The two verses are each followed by a refrain, beginning with the words "Tu trouveras..." The second refrain is immediately followed by two further refrains, in which the male lover (sung by Obispo) echoes the female singer, implying that he too is fallible and insecure. Since the song is sung by both St-Pier and Obispo, the song is generally considered as a duet, even though Natasha St-Pier sings most of the lyrics. They have performed the song together in many French TV programs.
The song features on many French compilations, such as Les Plus Belles Ballades, Les Plus Beaux Duos, Non Stop Hits 4, Les Plus Belles Voix, vol. 1, Hitbox 2002 Best of, vol. 4 and Hit de diamant.
Christophe Maé covered the song included in a medley named "Mister Restos 2008" on Les Enfoirés' 2008 album Le Secret des Enfoirés.
