Et Mourir De Plaisir
Michel Sardou Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Et mourir de plaisir
Et mourir de plaisir
Et mourir de plaisir
Et mourir de plaisir

Poser les mains sur un visage, vouloir et ne pas oser
Puis s'aventurer davantage, au risque de tout briser
Souffrir à force de s'étreindre et se confondre dans la nuit
Souffrir sans gémir ou se plaindre sans un cri

Et mourir de plaisir
Et mourir de plaisir

S'étendre à demi mort de peur
Se réchauffer par des mots
Des mots qui retiennent les heures
Et sans trouver le repos
Souffrir à force de s'attendre
Et tomber jusqu'à l'agonie
Souffrir encore plus et se rendre dans un cri

Et mourir de plaisir
Et mourir de plaisir

Et dormir
Et dormir




Et dormir
Et dormir
