Little Darlin'
Benjamin Biolay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

Sans trop entrer
dans les détails
j'ai attaqué
le train postal
si je dérive
c'est en aval
mon univers
est carcéral
mon amour, j'ai pêché
My little darling, oh how, I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling, pal of mine

Sans trop entrer
dans les détails
il est grand temps
que je m'en aille
je sens le feu
dans mes entrailles
cette injection
qu'on dit létale
mon amour, j'ai échoué

My little darling, oh how, I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling, pal of mine

Sans dévoiler
trop de mystère
j'ai quitté cette
vie de misère
j'ai ma devise
j'ai mon dicton
les gens c'est tous
de sacrés cons
mon amour, j'ai basculé
de l'autre côté

My little darling, oh how, I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling, pal of mine
