Les Feuilles Mortes
Koala Liu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais, moi je t'aimais
Et nous vivions les deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimait, moi qui t'aimais

Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis

C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais, moi je t'aimais
Et nous vivions les deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimait, moi qui t'aimais

Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis




Les pas des amants désunis
Les pas des amants désunis
