Tu verras
Jean-Félix Lalanne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

J'aurais bien voulu te prendre avec nous comme autrefois
Mais Suzy m'a fait comprendre qu'on est un peu à l'étroit
Il faut être raisonnable, tu ne peux plus vivre ainsi
Seule si tu tombais malade, on se ferait trop de souci
Tu verras, tu seras bien

On va trier tes affaires, les photos auxquelles tu tiens
Celles de papa militaire, des enfants et des cousins

C'est drôle qu'une vie entière puisse tenir dans la main
Avec d'autres pensionnaires, vous en parlerez sans fin
Tu verras, tu seras bien

Oui je vois le chat s'agite, on ne trompe pas son instinct
Mais il oubliera très vite, dès qu'il sera chez les voisins
T'auras plus de courses à faire, de ménage quotidien
Plus de feu en plein hiver, t'auras plus souci de rien
Tu verras, tu seras bien

Ton serin chante à tue-tête, allons maman calme-toi
Oui le directeur accepte que tu le prennes avec toi
Y'a la télé dans ta chambre, en bas y'a un beau jardin
Avec des roses en décembre qui fleurissent comme en juin
Tu verras, tu seras bien

Et puis quand viendra dimanche, on ira faire un festin
Je me pendrai à ta manche comme quand j'étais gamin
Tu verras pour les vacances, tous les deux on sortira

Là où l'on chante où l'on danse on ira où tu voudras
Tu verras, tu seras bien.
