Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ta plage Beach Boy
Ta plage Beach Boy
Encore un virage
Mais jamais n'arrive
Ta plage Beach Boy

Ta plage Beach Boy
Encore un rivage
Toujours la dérive
So long Beach Boy

Les vagues longues
Où l'on glisse à tout jamais
Sa jeunesse éternelle
Les couchants calmes
Où l'on sait du silence
Que les mots ne sont rien

Où est cette critique
Où le vernis craque
Où la mémoire à jamais nous oublie
Elle est bien quelque part
Boy est-ce que t'aurais menti
Je paie pour voir

Ta plage Beach Boy
Ta plage Beach Boy
Encore un virage
Mais jamais n'arrive
Ta plage Beach Boy

Là sur le sable
Où le temps s'est perdu
Trouver des baisers purs
Et voir les matins venir sans peur
Where is your sky Boy

Où est cet exil
Que ton coeur exhale
Où malgré les lunes
L'amour est toujours étale
Il manque un oeil faut croire
Boy tu n'auras pas tout dit

Ta plage Beach Boy
Ta plage Beach Boy
Encore un virage
Mais jamais n'arrive
Ta plage Beach Boy

Ta plage Beach Boy
Encore un rivage
Toujours la dérive
So long Beach Boy

Alors j'ai laissé mon amour, mon living
A midi juste au soleil teenager
Là-bas vers l'ouest
La nuit vient toujours tard

Oh oh mon chandail
La fraîcheur tombe boy
Je mets en stand by

Ta plage Beach Boy
Ta plage Beach Boy
Encore un virage
Mais jamais n'arrive
Ta plage Beach Boy

Ta plage Beach Boy
Encore un rivage




Toujours la dérive
So long Beach Boy
