Caldonia
Eddy Mitchell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je ne suis pas beau, je ne suis pas joli
Mais j'ai trouvé la femme de ma vie
Et je l'aime, je l'aime à l'infini
Caldonia est son nom, j'en suis ravi
Caldonia
Caldonia
Tu es encore pire que moi
Je sais, ta mère ne dit pas ça
Mais quand je t'épous'rai, elle s'en ira
Les copains sont jaloux
Me traitent de fou
Je t'assure que je suis un mauvais mari
Trop tard, au maire j'ai "oui "
J'ai la corde au cou, pour la vie
Caldonia




Caldonia
Tu es encore pire que moi.
