Samba De Mon Coeur Tu Souris
Coralie Clément Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mon dieu que c'est lâche
Que c'est fâcheux
Quelle tragédie, quel tracas

Mon dieu que c'est vache
Mon amoureux est reparti là-bas
Mon dieu que c'est triste

Il m'aimait si peu
Moi je l'aimais tant je crois
Mon dieu tu t'en fiches
Toi tu n'as d'yeux

Que pour une autre que moi
Même si le temps passe
Je n'oublie pas

La samba
La samba des jours avec toi
La samba des jours avec toi
La samba de mon coeur qui bat

La samba
La samba des jours avec toi
La samba des jours avec toi
La samba de mon coeur qui bat
Samba de mon coeur qui bat

Mon dieu que c'est moche
C'est ennuyeux
Tu t'es joué de moi
Mon dieu que c'est cloche

De se dire adieu
Et Paris est si froid
Mon dieu si tu existes même un peu
Ramène-moi

Mon aquarelliste
Si vaniteux
Qui ne peignait que moi

Même si le temps passe
Je n'oublie pas
