Hi Lynne,
That means here : "that is always changing from heart to heart " or "that is always changing of mind" or else "that is not noticed".
Hope that it is of some help.
Hugs.
Maryse. |

Yes, thanks Maryse... I just wondered about that verb - zapper - so I guess it means, change... When I pop it into google translate, it gives me �zap�.. Which means kill/obliterate...Ah, it�s beginning to make sense  Thank you again! |

Yes, you are right.
The very 1st meaning is : "always change the tv channel ; from one tv channel to another one". |

Dear Lynne Another meaning is to" ignore" something or someone or even "forget" J �ai zappé un rendez vous I missed the appointment (forgot it). Il m �a zappé = He ignored me Used mainly in slang . But Maryze is right the verb "zapper" was first used to describe the action of changing from one tv channel to another. This song is great anyway. Carole |

I`m French Canadian and I found out today what Céline Dion meant when she sang that line. We don �t use that expression here in Quebec. |
