Quand je marche
Camille Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quand je marche, je marche
Quand je dors, je dors
Quand je chante, je chante
Je m'abandonne

Quand je marche, je marche droit
Quand je chante, je chante nue
Et quand j'aime, je n'aime que toi

Quand j'y pense, je ne dors plus

Je suis ici
Je suis dedans
Je suis debout
Je ne me moquerai plus de tout

"Entends tu, m'as-tu dit,
Le chant do monde", alors depuis
Quand l'aube se lève, je la suis
Et quand la nuit tombe
Je tombe aussi

Je suis ici
Je suis dedans
Je suis debout
Je ne me moquerai plus de tout

Quand j'ai faim, tout me nourrit
Le cri des chiens, et puis la pluie
Quand tu pars, je reste ici

Je m'abandonne
Et je t'oublie.
