Les courants d'air
Grand Tourism Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feat. Terry Callier

I'm so into the things we share
Like floating in the air
Like a magic carpet ride
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

I step into a looking glass
See the future and the past
The room is blue and cold as ice
And I'm lost in paradise

Allons ensemble dans l'atmosphere
Laissons passer les courants d'air
We have no time to waste my friend

Yes, Come on!
Let's get in the wind
Let's get in the wind

The music gives speedy groove
I relax and watch you move
If I close my eyes instead
You're dancing in my head
In my head

I step into this looking glass
See the future and the past
The room is blue and cold as ice
And I'm lost in paradise

Allons ensemble dans l'atmosphere
Laissons passer les courants d'air
We have no time to waste my friend

Come on!




Let's get in the wind
Let's get in the wind

See the future and the past

Let's get in the wind
Let's embrace the present moment without hesitation
