Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On se dit salut tout un mois
Je crois que c'était la derniá¨re fois
J'ai trop essayé de garder et toi de ton cá´té
Tu me disais j'ai tout donné
Allez maintenant on laisse tomber
Let me go
I don't want to be your prisoner
I just want to be your lover
Tu as mis ton sac sur le dos
Je sais que tu as le coeur gros
Mais cette fois faudra parvenir
Cette fois il ne faut pas mentir
L'amour n'a pas de lendemain
Il est á jamais incertain
Tu vas reprendre le chemin
Le soleil se couche, á demain
Let me go
Let me leave, oh let me let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner
I just want to be your lover
Qu'est-ce qui va se passer aprá¨s?
Pardonne-moi si je ne sais
Est-ce que c'est toi qui m'as dit á§a?
Est-ce que c'est toi ou bien c'est moi?
Let me go
Let me leave, oh let me let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner
I just want to be your lover
Let me go
Let me leave, oh let me let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner
I just want to be your lover
Where is she going?
I don't know
Where is she going?
I don't know
Quand máªme ce qu'on a fait c'est pas mal
Se voir, s'aimer, rester normal
On est seul pour toute la vie
On est seul pour toute la vie
En ce moment á Montréal
Il fait froid, il neige et c'est sale
Tu n'es pas lá et moi je t'oublie
Tu n'es pas lá et moi je t'oublie
Let me go
Let me leave, oh let me let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner
I just want to be your lover
Let me go
Let me leave, oh let me let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner
I just want to be your lover
