Chance
Eric & the Norsemen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Une chance que j't'ai
Je t'ai, tu m'as
Une chance qu'on s'a

Quand tu m'appelles "mon p'tit loup "
Avec ta p'tite voix
Tu panses mes bleus
Tu tues tous mes papillons noirs

Tu fais des boules de lumière
Avec tes p'tits doigts
Tu fous la trouille aux hiboux

Une chance que j't'ai
Je t'ai, tu m'as
Une chance qu'on s'a

J'suis pas très grand
Pas très fort
Mais que personne n'vienne
Te faire d'la peine
Sans d'abord me passer sul'corps

Fie-toi sur moi
Mon bon chat
T'auras jamais peur
Tant que j'vivrai
Même si je meurs

Une chance que j't'ai
Je t'ai, tu m'as
Une chance qu'on s'a

Je ferais tous les planétariums
Chercher dans toutes les galaxies
La crème des femmes
Que je finirai dans ton lit

Le paradis, c'est ici
Y a pas d'autres vies
J'te donne la mienne
Parce que j't'aime à l'infini

Une chance que j't'ai
Je t'ai, tu m'as




Une chance qu'on s'a
Une chance qu'on s'aime
