Dis-Moi Que L'Amour
Marc Lavoine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Parle-moi des simples choses, emmène-moi à l'opéra
Offre-moi des roses et des camélias
Parle-moi des jolies choses, des cahiers du cinéma
Et des questions qu'on se pose dès les premiers pas

Parle-moi des mirabelles et d'un violon sur le toit
Donne-moi des ailes et du chocolat
Parle-moi du bleu du ciel dans un restaurant chinois

Offre-moi du miel du bout de tes doigts

Parle-moi de tes silences avec ta bouche et tes bras
Entre dans la danse et danse avec moi
Parle-moi de ces distances qui ne nous séparent pas
Dis-moi que l'amour
Ne s'arrête pas

Parle-moi des simples choses, emmène-moi à l'opéra
Offre-moi des roses et des camélias
Parle-moi des jolies choses, des cahiers du cinéma
Dis-moi que l'amour
Ne s'arrête pas

Dis-moi que l'amour
Ne s'arrête pas
Dis-moi que l'amour
Ne s'arrête pas
Dis-moi que l'amour
Ne s'arrête pas

Dis-moi que l'amour
Ne s'arrête pas
