Mayane Delem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le vent souffle, le soleil s'йveille
Rien n'est plus doux quand la ville sommeille
Le jour se lиve, ce jour comme un rкve
Le monde n'a plus la mкme couleur
Je sens son parfum, son odeur
Je prends mon temps, je souris aux anges
Si le bonheur est inconstant, alors je vis pleinement cet instant
Et tant pis si on me le reprend, je savoure ici et maintenant
Le jour se lиve, ce jour comme un rкve
Le monde n'a plus la mкme couleur
Je sens son parfum, son odeur
Je prends mon temps, je souris aux anges
Comme un rкve, le jour se lиve, plus rien n'est pareil autour
Une йtincelle cet instant, c'est comme un rкve, le jour se lиve
Plus rien n'est pareil autour, une йtincelle, un nouvel air
Le jour s'endort, ce jour comme de l'or
Il a changй les couleurs de ma sphиre
Il a mis de la douceur sur mes hivers
