Reviendra
Carrousel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Elle reviendra s’assoir
Porte des lilas
Balance balançoire
Moi je serai là

Il reviendra du square
Un détour par chez moi
Quelques notes de guitare
Moi je serai là

Elle reviendra me voir
Griller une clope en bas
Son rire sur le trottoir
Moi je serai là

Il reviendra dans mon foutoir
Jouer avec mon chat
Et s’il cherche la bagarre
Moi je serai là, je serai là

Reviens, reviendra
Abracadabra
Il, elle ou moi
Je donne ma langue au chat

Elle reviendra du boulevard
La pluie le froid
Parfumée de brouillard
Moi je serai la

Il reviendra au bar
Une partie deux puis trois
Vodka billard
Moi je serai là

Elle reviendra un soir
Marcher sur les toits
Si la lune est noire
Moi je serai là

Il reviendra dans mon miroir
Poser sur mon bras




Un baiser d’au revoir
Moi je serai là, je serai là
