Luxembourg
Luxembourg Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mardi soir
dans le parc
sûre de rien
Juste le vent qui souffle

Trois fois rien
tu prends soin
Le temps rejoint

tous ces mots refoulés
qui me réveillent la nuit
Et une aura adoucit

Le grand enjeu
de se sentir pareil
Je m’habitue
puis je ressens douceur

Soleil qui chauffe mon cœur
Je suis enfin chez moi
