Au Dedans De Moi
Jean-Louis Murat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Au dedans de moi
Ta lumière
Au dedans de moi
Ta rivière

Au dedans de moi
Ta liqueur
Au dedans de moi
Pour mon cœur

Au dedans de moi

Au dedans de moi
Amoureux
Au dedans de moi
De tes grands yeux

Au dedans de moi
Tes pensées
Au dedans de moi
Ta beauté

Au dedans de moi

Devant l'univers attendri
Courons la campagne amie
Tout à la sueur de nos nuits
Revoilà les jours bénis

Au dedans de moi
De mon mieux
Au dedans de moi
Petit dieu

Au dedans de moi
Ta fontaine
Au dedans de moi
Tes merveilles

Au dedans de moi

Au dedans de moi
Le plaisir
Au dedans de moi
A saisir

Au dedans de moi
Tes pensées
Au dedans de moi
Ta beauté

Au dedans de moi
De velours
Au dedans de moi
Ton amour

Au dedans de moi

Dessous tes habits
Le rubis
Dessous le timon
Ton nom

Par les chemin creux
Ta fontaine




Qu'il est bon de dire
"Je t'aime"
