Mon amour
Julie Zenatti Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Juste un léger détour,
Un chemin de campagne,
Ou notre belle histoire d'amour,
S'est bu comme du champagne,
Sur de l'herbe en velours,

Juste un petit discours, qui mène au bord des larmes,
Et quand tout le reste devient sourd,

Quand avoir me condamne,
A être ton amour

Chorus:
Et toutes ces maladresses,
Toutes ces failles,
Sont pour moi des faiblesses,
En pierre de taille qui m'aillent,
Mon amour...

Juste un souffle qui reste,
Nos corps se déposent,
Après la douceur de tes gestes,
La tempête se repose,
La vie fera le reste,

Chorus

Juste un léger détour,
Un chemin de campagne..

(Merci à Serg_17 pour cettes paroles)

Juste un léger détour,
Just a slight detour,

Un chemin de campagne,
A country road,

Ou notre belle histoire d'amour,
Where our beautiful love story,

S'est bu comme du champagne,
Was consumed like champagne,

Sur de l'herbe en velours,
On velvet grass,

Juste un petit discours, qui mène au bord des larmes,
Just a small speech, that leads to tears,

Et quand tout le reste devient sourd,
And when everything else becomes deaf,

Quand avoir me condamne,
When having condemns me,

A être ton amour
