Formidable
Jacques Sauveur Jean Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby, I′ve been watching you
And the way you are
Tu es formidable

J'entends souvent ta voix qui me parle d′amour
Ma foi!
Qui suis-je alors pour ne pas t'écouter? (t'écouter)
Dans le souffle du vent raisonne ses idées nazes

Mon Dieu!
De qui aurais-je peur pour ne pas t′enlacer? (t′enlacer)
J'ai marché tout le long, des kilomètres d′amour
Sans être fatigué, sans vouloir te laisser (te laisser)
Et dans cet univers renaît un vrai bonheur
Tout comme pour se coucher dans un ciel étoilé (étoilé)

(Ton image)
Ton image
Ça fait un mirage
Et franchement tu es formidable
Je suis tombé sur ton charme
Comme un fou

Ou ta gen dwa voye'm sou la lune
Panse misyon an enposib
Des je′m fèmen, lanmou'n ansanm
M′ap pouse zèl ey
Gwo chèf douvan limanite
E fò mwen santi'm konsène
Gade jan'w metamòfoze′m
La n′ap danse mizik sila
Ça fait ton image

Ton image
Ça fait un mirage
Et franchement tu es formidable
Je suis tombé sur ton charme
Comme un fou
(Ton image)
Ton image
Ça fait un mirage
Et franchement tu es formidable
Je suis tombé sur ton charme
Comme un fou
Ramassé ma belle

Ou formidable
Pendant ce temps, mwen pa nòmal
(Qu'est-ce qui t′arrive? Je te trouve parfait)
Ou formidable
(Tu trouves? Bien sûr)
La n'ap danse, mwen pa nòmal
(Hahaha, ou sous trap vide)

Ou formidable
Pendant ce temps, mwen pa nòmal

Ou formidable
La n′ap danse, mwen pa nòmal

You have the power to take me to the moon and accomplish the impossible mission with me. With our love, we can overcome anything. In the face of humanity's bigger challenges, I feel responsible. I observe you transforming me into a better person, and together we dance in the rhythm of this music.
