Benatar, Pat - Le Bel Age Lyrics






There comes a time, when you should see things clear
Free from my innocence, there is no circumstance too severe
Only the need for us, for us to believe again
There is a time, temptation's on the run
Dreamer you've had your way
Soldier you've had your day, in the sun
Now it's time, for us to begin again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

There comes a time (there comes a time)
When you must find your way
Begger has made his bed
Wrapped in a silhoutte, of gold and gray
Now it's time, yes it's time, for us to begin again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

Standing so close to me, the possibility
To change our destiny, I see it perfectly, moving so naturally
Nothing can stand in our way

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain (only)
Le bel age (only our love, only our love)
Close to the truth once again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

Le bel age (Le bel age)
Le bel age

  10. F.... d....

    Add *DON'T WALK AWAY* official video, please

  11. G.... M....

    I saw part of this video being filmed in a tiny historical town called Old Mesilla, NM. I have been searching for quite some time what the specific footage filmed in this bar named El Patio. I'm almost positive this is it. It's the only video I've found with PB smoking a cigarette. She was sitting alone with a round table and a cigarette as a prop exactly like the very end of this video. She was laughing when I walked up so this has to be it. I had seen her concert the night before. Memories...

  12. C.... S....

    FINALLY an induction nod from the Rock Hall.......Pray she makes it in this year.....no one deserves it more!

    Maybe she was aiming for a different demographic.
    Check out the Mafiesque theme for the vid!
    Great song though. One of Pats best.

  47. D.... S....

    Richard Belzer

  48. c.... ....

    Never liked Belzer. Never thought he was that funny, or talented.

    c.... ....

    he was elliotts stiff straight guy...he was good in svu

    c.... ....

    @andy morris He still is I still watch svu saturdays on ion tv.

    c.... ....

    Belzer is a lovely person and hilarious.

  49. R.... W....

    When she made this video she was 5 months pregnant..Thats why she isnt smoking the cig...shes flippin amazing

    R.... W....

    And she never smoked anyway.

  50. B.... A....

    Great Song!

  51. f.... p....

    très belle chanson, superbe voix de plus pat a une tète de poupée !!!

  52. B.... S....

    she never looked more lovely, oh be still my heart

  53. J.... B....

    Back in the 80s it was considered sexy for women to smoke.

  54. H.... ....

    Love you Pat!!! U're the best!

  55. J.... W....

    Although this track was only a minor hit, it has always been my PB favorite. But in an oddity, Richard Belzar is so funny doing his Lenny Bruce imitation in the video that it actually distracts from the music

    J.... W....

    I totally AGREE

    J.... W....

    I disagree, I think it works brilliantly hand in glove with the track bearing in mind, this was the mid-80s golden age of music video & I love that they did something totally different and unique here.I think it brilliant & genius & gives the track a quality dimension.

    J.... W....

    i Agree and the line "i can sing better than that girl" so funny cause not many can!!!!!

    J.... W....

    @Denis Desmond ... Hear, hear! Couldn't have said it better myself! They really do work well together, the music and the dramatic content.

  56. C.... G....

    They are best friends from her days at Catch A Rising Star.

  57. M.... P....

    Hey it's the guy from Law and Order ;-)

    M.... P....

    Detective Munch!  And a cameo from the guy in "Dumb and Dumber" when they're in the dressing room.

    M.... P....

    Richard Belzer

    M.... P....

    @Jeg Hunckel ...and before all that, he was on Alan Thicke's late-night show, "Thicke of the Night," in 1984.

    M.... P....

    He's also in The Wrong Guys with Louie Anderson. I like Richard Belzer

  58. d.... ....

    Just great!

  59. 8.... b....

    one of the greatest masterpieces in AOR history!
    wow, she's smoking! (double meaning) ;)

    8.... b....

    No she doesn't inhale the cigarette as one thing she was pregnant with her second daughter here & she doesn't smoke. Neil was a heavy smoker back then though.

    8.... b....

    Nope, is not about the smoking... is mostly about the noire tone of the photography as many classic movies were filmed in black and white and in that time, smoking was allowed everywhere in every place that gives them a different tone and ambiance to those movies and this PB video!

    8.... b....

    If you look closely, after she ashes the cigarette and they focus on her singing the second chorus, the cigarette hasn't burned down any. She doesn't even inhale properly and with that voice, I'm glad. The cancer-stick is just a prop.

  60. C.... ....

    Where's the fucking song?  Get that film vignette bullshit out of there.

  61. b.... g....

    One of her best songs.

    b.... g....

    brian gartland yes, and true love 😍

  62. C.... F....

    The cigarette is just a prop. She just takes a puff in her mouth and blows it right out. She's a trained opera singer, so she's not going to screw up her voice with cigarettes.

    C.... F....

    That is true, she has never been a smoker. However, Neil's a different story!

    C.... F....

    @Aus80sRockRadio so frenchy, here in France we love to smoke , sing and Love ^^ still

    C.... F....

    She was actually pregnant in this video

    C.... F....

    Sinatra smoked and it didn't mess him up.

    C.... F....

    @Robert Wiegman Franks voice was so bad no one gave a fuck.

  63. t.... ....

    La Belz Age, did anyone get that joke ladies and gentlemen

    t.... ....

    I didn't make that connection until I saw your comment... lol... excellent.

  64. M.... P....

    Actually was paid to be there for stagework at a city fair; one of the best nites of my life!!

    M.... P....

    Amazing! Lucky guy.

  65. I.... ....

    Pat ruined her voice smoking all them cigarettes. She still goes on tour now, but she can not hit the notes nowhere near as high as she used to be able to hit them. I'm surprised her other fans haven't noticed this, ( they probably have ). I guess they are too afraid to speak the truth, because they feel it's negative, even though it's true. She used to be able to hit the notes on a really high octave. Now she can't even come close to what she once used to be able to do.

    I.... ....

    +David Graham Scott She's the one who said in an interview that at her age she can now really hit the notes. She went to say something about as you get older you are at your prime with being able to hit the notes and the interview was not that long ago.

    I.... ....

    @Mark Rodriguez yeah she still has a good voice, it's just not as great as it was back in the day.

    I.... ....

    She's hot but I wasn't into her music quite honestly so i'll stop commenting. 

    I.... ....

    You can tell from a damaged voice (Mariah Carey) and a taken care voice, don't know PB's private and personal life but I don't believe she smokes I saw her in her Anniversary Tour in Canada and she SINGS, if you say otherwise search "One Love" live and hear the end of her songs those really high notes... was she singing hogher than that?
    If so, then I missed all that of her best time as singer

    I.... ....

    buster rymes: Whitney Houston (rest in peace) Mariah Carey --- you are wrong...

  66. C.... F....

    Very pretentious.

  67. D.... M....

    ruined it with all that talking rediculous

  68. M.... C....

    the beginning of the end hitwise for Pat

    M.... C....

    All Fired Up two years later?? That was one of her biggest hits.

  69. L.... C....

    You ruined the song!

  70. K.... H....

    Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  71. M.... P....

    Met Pat, Neil and daughters backstage at a local concert, very sweet people!!!

    M.... P....

    +Mike Park How much did it cost you to meet and greet them? I was checking out the whole backstage meet & greet thing online on their official website and they wanted five hundred dollars just to meet them, maybe get a selfie and autograph. More than what I can afford. At that price they better be sweet. That's a lot of money for some of us.

  72. 6.... ....

    can't listen to this with the damn dailog overdubs!!  song ruined!

    6.... ....

    Yes it is annoying, luckily the Choice Cuts DVD is audio only.

  73. n.... ....

    Great song...too bad they decided to tell a story and have people talking over it. Totally ruined what could have been a great video

    n.... ....

    fyi...there was an ALL performance version!

    n.... ....

    Hey, nebraskahusker247 ... there's a second version here at YouTube that's strictly the music. It's a great video, too. Check it out! I actually love them both, depending on what I'm in the mood for. Sometimes I like to see this story unfold, and sometimes I just like to see and hear only Pat.

  74. c.... ....

    Sexy as fuck. She can blow smoke in my face, anytime...

  75. R.... D....

    great video

  76. J.... ....

    One of her best EVER!  I wish I was in a nightclub and she was performing.

  77. J.... M....

    Can this storyline! Just Pat and the band would have been good!

  78. A.... G....

    La mejor es esta

  79. A.... ....

    i agree with some of the comments. i hate the dialog speaking over Pat singing. it should of been done just with the focus on Pat and her voice. She's such an extraordinary vocal talent. incredible actually.

    A.... ....

    The version on her Choice Cuts DVD is all music. I never even knew this version existed till now lol

    A.... ....

    it's loosely based on the comedian Lenny Bruce. kudos for Pat for allowing the creative license. fyi...there was a performance version only cut as well. however, i don't think it's been uploaded.

    A.... ....

    @Checkered Flag Films ... The performance-only version is up at YouTube! Check it out!

    A.... ....

    @Tre404 cool. where's the link?

  80. t.... l....

    Pat Benatar is a Stage name..

    t.... l....

    +takizawa leo Benatar was her last name from her first husband. She kept it because it was perfect for a stage name.

  81. t.... l....

    Patricia Mae Adrzejewski from Sweden ...the best rock performer in the 80's..from Sweden with love. Swedish doesn't speaks English well.

  82. a.... m....

    that's the guy thats just left law and order  svu

  83. A.... I....

    You do know that he also portrayed that same character on Law and Order, SVU, and the X-Files?

    A.... I....

    He's like Dennis Miller; he plays himself in every role he undertakes.. lol.. but VERY well, mind you.

  84. S.... R....

    putting a lady gaga banner under Pat and the best song she ever made is heretical...Those assholes at Vevo should be burned at the stake...

  85. j.... ....

    I remember hearing that Pat was pregnant during this video shoot; I hope that was fake smoking she was doing.

    j.... ....

    She didn't drag at all. Only once did she even draw smoke into her mouth, and then she blew it right out. Crisis averted, snowflake. The world is ending in 11 years, you know... smoke up!

  86. T.... ....

    This is a good song on it's own, but I came here for Munch. >_>

  87. L.... ....

    This video brought to you by Virginia Slims 120s

    Because...You've come a long way, baby

    L.... ....

    Best comment award!! 🍻🏆😂

  88. C.... F....

    i posted on the HQ version (which is not as good a quality as this version) but the video was a concept story a homage if you will on the 50's comedian Lenny Bruce who was busted for foul language. thus the heavy use of smoking...which was really not fun during shooting. later mtv, as it did in those days, demanded a all performance version cut and you can catch that on the HQ version. however, I feel this 'original' cut works best for the song.

  89. r.... ....

    Richard Belzer is GOLD ..classic PB video

  90. K.... R....

    Personally, I like the story line videos better. All of Pat's videos do this. Also, if you think this is bad, watch thriller

    K.... R....

    Right??? lol...

  91. T.... ....

    No, that's Richard Belzer, who played Detective John Munch on "Homicide".

  92. T.... ....

    Your lack of appreciation for Richard Belzer is sad.

  93. s.... ....

    and that is why the RNR HOF is a big fat joke now. Its not about music, its about the "act". But if you don't think Pat had a big influence on pop culture, remember, she was the one who everyone is the classic "Fast Times and Ridgemont High" were all trying to dress like.

  94. t.... d....

    Dude from Law an Order?!

  95. J.... ....

    Anyone know who the girl is playing Belzer's girlfriend? She looks a bit like actress Pat Richardson (Full House) to me......

  96. J.... ....

    Detective Munch you're a long way from Baltimore & New York! Do they know you're moonlighting...AND getting arrested for obcenity? You're gonna lose your liquor license for The Waterfront bar.

  97. P.... ....

    One of Pat's co-workers at the Catch A Rising Star in NY in the late 70's; all comedians and then PAT as the singer. LOL! What a great work environment.

  98. P.... ....

    I think the issue is the word "Rock N Roll" in the "Hall of Fame" and those who are in no way shape or form considered "Rock N Roll" that bothers ppl.

  99. t.... ....

    Love Pat, but Madonna had had a global impact on pop culture and music that can't be argued. Hence the RNR hall of fame induction. Love Pat! And YES she should be inducted as well.

  100. B.... ....

    To the younger people here: in the Eighties, it became really fashionable to turn music videos into "high art," with actors saying lines within the video itself, having movie directors create videos, etc. If memory serves, La Bel Age is from 1986, which would have been smack dab in the middle of this "art" movement at MTV. Other examples would be "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes and "Smuggler's Blues" by Glenn Fry. Just a little history lesson from someone who was there ;-)

    B.... ....

    BettinaBalser Me too. When MTV was good..
