Radio
Michel Polnareff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ça parle en couleur
Et ça fait des shows
Ça joue les chanteurs
Radio

Si tu veux la mer
Cuba ou Rio
Je connais un pays
Radio

Tou-toute la nuit
Elle fréquence dans mon lit
Tou-toute la nuit
Elle danse dans ma vie

Ça chante et ça prose
Ça coule comme de l'eau
Le jour et la nuit
Radio

Ça donne à manger
Même aux animaux
C'est moche et c'est beau
Radio

Tou-toute la nuit
Sa fréquence dans mon lit
Tou-toute la nuit
Elle se couche sur ma vie

Radio
Radio
Radio
Radio

Ça guérit le cœur
Ça fait des enfants
Ça rit et ça pleure
Radio

Ça fait du soleil
Quand il fait pas beau




C'est ma météo
Radio
