Cœur qui explose
Alfa Rococo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Prends garde à mon cœur qui explose
Pour éviter les contrecoups
D’heure en heure
Et de jour en jour
Le malheur s'est fait
Bien plus lourd
Le cœur qui explose
(Ouh ouh ouh...)

Et les larmes qui se déposent
En grand nombre sur nos joues
D’heure en heure
Et de jour en jour
Le malheur se fait
Bien trop lourd

Cause we need love
We need love

(Ouh ouh ouh...)

Prends garde à mon âme qui t’impose
De braver les plus grands remous
Et les larmes qui se déposent
En grand nombre sur nos joues
Le cœur qui explose

D’heure en heure
Et de jour en jour
Le malheur s'est fait
Bien plus lourd

D’heure en heure
Et de jour en jour
Le malheur s'est fait
Bien plus lourd

Cause we need love
We need love

Cause we need love
We need love

We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love





Pour nos cœurs qui explosent
