Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dans l'amour
L'amour, l'amour ça se perd
Dans la vie
La vie, la vie ça se donne
Par l'amour
L'amour, l'amour ça se prend
Par envie
À l'amour
L'amour, l'amour s'éveille
À la vie
Car la vie, mais c'est l'amour
Oui la vie, c'est l'amour
Et l'amour, c'est la vie
Pas de vie, sans amour
Pas d'amour, sans la vie
Notre vie pour l'amour
Notre amour pour la vie
Mon amour, tu es ma vie
La vie, la vie ça chante
Dans l'amour
L'amour, l'amour ça crie
Dans la vie
La vie, la vie nous donne
Tout l'amour
L'amour, l'amour nous prend
Toute la vie
La vie, la vie ça meurt
Pour l'amour
L'amour, l'amour ça vit
Pour la vie
C'est l'amour
Et c'est la vie
