Le rendez-vous
Manu Chao Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night we had a rendez vous
How do you do? Comment allez vous?
We went to see a french movie

Mais qu'est ce qu'il fait?
Mais qu'est ce qu'il dit?
You really got a hold on me
I wanna hear you say, oh oui!

Chérie chérie j'en rêve la nuit
Chérie chérie comment ça va?
Quelle heure est il?
Je ne sais pas!

We hang around dans ton quartier
Like walkin down Champs Élysées
You let me get in dans ton lit
Best place in Paris to be!

Chérie chérie j'en rêve la nuit
Chérie chérie comment ça va?
Quelle heure est il?
Je ne sais pas!

Then you said stop it! Ça suffit!
Won't let you get in dans ma vie
And anything I said or do
Wouldn't change your mind, non pas du tout

Chérie chérie comment ça va?
Chérie chérie, j'en rêve la nuit?
Comment ça va?
Je ne sait pas!

Last night we had a rendez vous
How do you do ? Comment allez vous?
We went to see a french movie

Mais qu'est ce qu'il fait?
Mais qu'est ce qu'il dit?
I put my hand dans ton panier
You where not celle que vous croyez

You really got a hold on me
I wanna hear you say, oh oui!

Chérie chérie j'en rêve la nuit
Chérie chérie comment ça va?
Quelle heure est il?
