Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'ai pas cru bon laisser nos cœurs se salir
Ah non maman je ne voulais pas partir
Mais loin devant je voyais bien venir le pire
Il y a bien longtemps déjà.
Aouhhhhh ohhhhhhh
Ahhhahhh
Jai peur maman,
Ton regard lourd et triste
Les jours commencent, ne semblent pas finir ouhhh
Je t'entends penser tout bas.
Ton cœur maman
T'as toujours fait souffrir
Le mur blanc de ton appartement ouhhhhhh
Tu t'éteint lentement aouhhhh ahhhahhh
Ahhhhhhhahhhhhh, ahhhhhhouhhh, ahhhhahhhh
