Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Comme nos voix badabada dabadabada
Chantent tout bas badabada dabadabada
Nos coeurs y voient badabada dabadabada
Comme une chance comme un espoir
Comme nos voix badabada dabadabada
Nos coeurs y croient badabada dabadabada
Encore une fois badabada dabadabada
Tout recommence, la vie repart

Combien de joies, bien des drames
Et voilà ! C'est une longue histoire
Un homme, une femme
Ont forgé la trame du hasard.

Comme nos voix, nos coeurs y voient
Encore une fois comme une chance, comme un espoir.
Comme nos voix, nos coeurs en joie
On fait le choix d'une romance qui passait là.

Chance qui passait là
Chance pour toi et moi badabada dabadabada

Toi et moi badabada dabadabada
Toi et Toi et moi
