Satellite
David Hallyday Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Là où l'amour a fusé
Je viens pour te retrouver
On a mis bien trop d'espace
Juste entre nos deux sas
La mission doit continuer
Sinon les étoiles vont filer
Je cherche dans le vacarme
Ton infinie pensée

J'ai beau tourner, même retourner
Mon amour satellite
Même dans la lune, je vois passer
Ton amour qui gravite
Et je dévoile nos faces cachées
Notre amour au zénith

Dans l'étendue inouïe
Tu es mon seul vis-à-vis
Je cours après les astres
Pour mon plus grand désastre
Cette vie, j'en ai fait le tour
J'arrive au point de non-retour
Mais dans ton univers
Je ne manquerai plus d'air

J'ai beau tourner, même retourner
Mon amour satellite
Même dans la lune, je vois passer
Ton amour qui gravite
Et je dévoile nos faces cachées
Notre amour au zénith

Mon amour satellite
Mon amour satellite

J'ai beau tourner, même retourner
Mon amour satellite
Même dans la lune, je vois passer
Ton amour qui gravite
Et je dévoile nos faces cachées
Notre amour au zénith

Mon amour satellite
Mon amour satellite
