Paris
Derek Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voila, mes amis! Here's Paris!
Now that we're here, follow me!
Begin with the view
As you stroll down "la rue"

And soon all Paris
Will be singing to you
Ooh, ooh, ah
Paris holds the key to your heart
And all of Paris plays a part
Paris turned a page
To the new modern age

And we'll do it, too, if we're smart

The French have it down to an art

Everyone's a writer
Painter! Poet!
Everything is avant garde or chic

We'll be in the know
Before we know it

When you're in the know, it's
Oh it's magnifique!
To find in Paris what you seek

Paris holds the key to her fate
We won't have much longer to wait
And then, come what may
We will each go our way

I dreamed of a city
Beyond all compare
It's hard to believe
That I'm finally there

At last there's a future

There's freedom

There's hope

In the air!

Paris holds the key to your heart
The pleasures of life a la carte
Come dance through the night
And forget all your woes
The city of light
How it glitters and glows
And one never knows what will start

Paris holds the key




To your
Heart

LETRA:
Talvez seria mais feliz
Se aqui fosse como as noites em Paris
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor
Eu vou ser rico, meus manos vão ser ricos
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor
Eu vou ser rico, meus manos vão ser ricos
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor

Talvez seria mais feliz
Se aqui fosse como as noites em Paris
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor
Eu vou ser rico, meus manos vão ser ricos
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor

Eu também não sei pra onde vou
Eu também não sei pra onde vou
Eu vou ser rico, meus manos vão ser ricos
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor

Já me peguei, mais uma vez pensando nas notas
Mesmo sem saber, que isso pra mim já não importa
Eu não quero saber de mais nada, te passo minha conta e transfere
6 dígitos, menos que isso eu te juro que não me serve
Eu quero milhões, mais 5 mansões em cada cidade
Uma eu faço negócio e o resto eu deixo pro Spike
Explanaram que nóis é torro, e é claro que a firma tá forte
Viagens com a minha família eu nunca precisei de sorte

Calmo eu vou ficar
Calmo eu vou chegar
Não sei em quem confiar
As notas vão falar
Eu quero mais que isso
Eu nasci pra ser rico
Eu quero mais que isso
Eu nasci pra ser rico
Sei lá

O que voce faria
Se um belo dia
Os diamantes virassem alegria
Não, você não choraria
Não de tristeza
Porque agora saberia o que é riqueza
Como gargalharia
Se descobrisse
Que há um universo pra quem chora
Mas não leva a vida triste
Nunca mais
Ja não existe pra ninguém
Aqui tudo vai além

Talvez seria mais feliz
Se aqui fosse como as noites em Paris
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor
Eu vou ser rico, meus manos vão ser ricos
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor

Eu também não sei pra onde vou
Eu também não sei pra onde vou
Eu vou ser rico, meus manos vão ser ricos
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor

Talvez seria mais feliz
Se aqui fosse como as noites em Paris
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor
Eu vou ser rico, meus manos vão ser ricos
Minhas manas vão ser ricas
Com muito ouro e muita grana ao meu redor

Essa música tem uma importância imensurável na minha vida, eu ouvia todo dia com meus negros em 2019 quando a gente virava a noite bolando algum plano pra ficar multimilionário com 14/15 anos kkkk depois disso cai em uma depressão fudida e tudo perdeu o sentido, mas a ambição e a mentalidade continuaram a mesma, é como se tudo fosse predestinado, nada mais me importa além da obsessão e ambição. Talvez tudo faça sentido daqui 1 ano. Minha mente tá completamente blindada de tudo que vá me tirar desse caminho. Amo meus manos. Nunca foi só pelo dinheiro

@deividsantos9657

@Pipo004

força rapaziada, dinheiro e luxúria são temporários, mas o sorriso da coroa não, ele é eterno

@Slvghard

bote fé meu mano
nunca é só pelo dinheiro
