Clap Hands
Gaëtan Roussel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sur la bouche, dans les yeux,
Sur le moment, sur la tête si tu veux.
Sous la mer aussi, amoureux,
Sous-marin quand on navigue tous les deux.

Clap hands

Sur un fil, pieds nus au Brésil,
A découvrir, sur mon divan. Sous la mer aussi, amoureux Sous marin, quand on divague tous les deux.

Clap hands
Clap hands

Il y a quand on peut,
Parfois quand on veut.
Il y a quand tu m'embrasses, Ca me rend heureux.

Oh clap hands
Oh clap hands
Quand même
Clap hands
Quand même

Suspendu à tes lèvres, je passe le temps,
Sans dire un mot, j'attends que souffle le vent..
Suspendu à tes lèvres, qui n'offre aucuns mouvements,
Sans dire un mot j'attends que souffle le vent..

Oh oh
Clap Clap Clap hands

Sur la bouche, amoureux,
Sous-marin , quand on divague tous les deux.

Clap hands
Oh Clap hands

Il y a quand on peut,
Parfois quand on veut.
Il y a quand tu m'embrasses, Ca me rend heureux.

Oh clap hands
Oh clap hands
Quand même
Clap hands
Quand même

Suspendu a tes lèvres, je passe le temps,
Sans dire un mot, j'attends que souffle le vent..
Suspendu à tes lèvres qui n'offre aucuns mouvements,
Sans dire un mot j'attends que souffle le vent,
souffle le vent..





Oh oh
Clap hands
