Arizona
Daniel Roure Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je roulais vers Tucson
Au volant d’ma Bentley
Le soleil brûlait
Sur le Grand Canyon
La musique était bonne
A new life, a new day
Une nouvelle vie, un nouveau jour,
Je l’accompagnais

A coups de klaxon

Arizona Dream (x4)
Rêve d'Arizona

J’ai enfilé mes bottes
Should I stay, should I go
Devais-je rester, devais-je partir
Cheval au galop
Dans le melting pot
Des collines, des coyotes
Des indiens Navajo
Mon Eldorado
Au bout, le jackpot

Arizona Dream (x4)
Rêve d'Arizona

(Instru)

Je roulais vers Phoenix
Au guidon d’une Harley
Avec Bill Haley
Au son d’un remix
La musique était rock
Le désert me brûlait
Tout droit je fonçais
With you on the top
Avec toi sur le porte bagage

Arizona Dream (x4)
Rêve d'Arizona

Tous les John Wayne, et les James Dean
Les Janis et les Norma Jean
Sont venus toucher l'American Dream

Mon rêve à moi, mon rêve à moi
Mon rêve à moi c'est l'Arizona
