Oh Baby
Johnny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby babe ...
Oh come back baby, I wanna make
You told me that you loved me
And always would be true
But now you've gone and left me
And made me oh so blue
Love to you
Babe

[Chorus]
Oh baby, come back a-baby come
Oh come back a-baby come
Oh come back baby, I wanna make love to you
Oh baby, babe ...
Oh come back baby, I want you to love me too

If I was you little baby
I'd go and have my face
I'd like to see you find a man
You think will take my place

[Chorus]

Now you may think I'm jealous
Of eveyone in town
But when it comes to lovin'
You're the sweetest thing around

[Chorus]





Oh baby babe

JOHNNY POUR LA VIE

Nés en Novembre 1950, fans de Johnny Hallyday depuis l’adolescence, moi et le grand amour de ma vie, Helena, avons profité les deux décades où nous avons vécu à Bruxelles pour l’accompagner dans plusieurs de ces mémorables concerts: Fête de l'Humanité (1985), Bercy (1987, 1990 et 1992), Parc des Princes (1993), La Cigale (1994), Bercy (1995), Stade de France (1998), Tour Eiffel (2000), Stade Roi Baudoin (2000), Bercy (2003).

Nous sommes rentrés au Portugal en Juin 2006 et on s'est dit au revoir la dernière fois quelques jours avant, au Palais des Sports. Notre Johnny est revenu à Bruxelles en Octobre de cette année-là, mais nous n’étions plus au rendez-vous. Par après, jusqu’à son dernier pélérinage auprès de son publique (Rester Vivant Tour 2015/2016), nous l’avons accompagné le mieux possible par les médias.

Johnny Hallyday, un très grand artiste avec un énorme coeur,
il est parti 25 jours après toi, Helena, mais tel que toi
pour moi il est toujours vivant, notre Johnny,
qui en tant de concerts nous a fait tellement vibrer et rêver.

JOHNNY POR TODA A VIDA

Nascidos em Novembro de 1950, fãs de Johnny Hallyday desde a adolescência, eu e o grande amor da minha vida, Helena, aproveitámos as duas décadas em que vivemos em Bruxelas para o acompanhar em vários dos seus memoráveis concertos: Fête de l'Humanité (1985), Bercy (1987, 1990 e 1992), Parc des Princes (1993), La Cigale (1994), Bercy (1995), Stade de France (1998), Tour Eiffel (2000), Stade Roi Baudoin (2000), Bercy (2003).

Regressámos a Portugal em Junho de 2006 e despedimo-nos pela última vez alguns dias antes no Palais des Sports. O nosso Johnny veio de novo a Bruxelas em Outubro desse ano, mas nós já não fomos ao encontro. Desde então, até à sua última peregrinação junto do seu público (Rester Vivant Tour 2015/2016), acompanhámo-lo o melhor possível pelos mídia.

Johnny Hallyday, grande artista, enorme coração.
Partiu 25 dias a seguir a ti, Lena, mas tal como tu
para mim está sempre vivo, o nosso Johnny,
que em tantos concertos tanto nos fez vibrar e sonhar.
