Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'aime ma maison et j'aime mon chien
Et souvent j'aime bien ma sœur
J'aime mes grand-parents qui vivent ailleurs
Ils sont loin, de tres loin les meilleurs.

Il y a mille façons de parler du cœur
Coraçao, cuore, corazón
Il y a mille façons de te dire je t'aime

Ti amo, love you, te quiero.

J'aime mon manteau qui me garde au chaud
Quand le vent de l'hiver fait peur
J'aime le printemps quand percent les fleurs
Elles sont comme de petits bouts de chaleur.

Il y a mille façons de parler du cœur
Coraçao, cuore, corazón
Il y a mille façons de te dire je t'aime
Ti amo, love you, te quiero.

J'aime tant la vie aujourd'hui, ici
En chantant avec mes amis
J'aime mes parents, je vous le dis
C'est le bonheur puisqu'ils m'aiment aussi.

Il y a mille façons de parler du cœur
Coraçao, cuore, corazón

Il y a mille façons de te dire je t'aime
Ti amo, love you, te quiero.
