Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Est mon drapeau
Notre lit est mon pays
La croix
Sur mon dos
Pour un instant, je l'oublie
Et même si le vent
Bleu et blanc
Ici
Maintenant
Je n'ai que toi dans la tête
Sans église, sans discours
Sans alliance et sans cérémonie
Sans contrat, sans détour
Tout mon corps te dit oui
Sans église, sans discours
Sans alliance et sans cérémonie
Sans contrat, sans détour
Toute mon âme te l'dit
Mon père m'a donné une branche de laurier
Au pas de ta porte, j'irai la déposer
Le lys a fleuri au jardin de mes amours
L'oiseau dans son nid s'envolera un jour
Sans église, sans discours
Sans alliance et sans cérémonie
Sans contrat, sans détour
Toute ma vie te dit oui
Sans église, sans discours
Sans alliance et sans cérémonie
Sans contrat, sans détour
Tout c'que j'suis te l'dit
Ta peau
Est mon seul drapeau
Notre lit est mon pays
Et demain
Dans nos mains
Nous verrons naître la vie
Auprès de ma blonde
