Soleil
Noir Silence Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Jean-François Dubé/Jean-François Dubé)
L'petit Jimmy flâne dans son lit
Y s'demande ce qu'y peut attendre d'la vie
Son père lui dit d'pas s'faire de soucis
Car rien de mal peut arriver
Dans une belle journée ensoleillée
Suzie lit ses revues illustrées
Ce matin elle eut le coeur brisé

Elle aurait lu que Keanu Reeves se s'rait marié
Mais elle continue d'espérer
Car c'est une belle journée ensoleillée
C'est aujourd'hui que Louis va se marier avec la fille qui lui est
destinée
Mais y's'demande encore si y va le r'gretter
De toute façon y peut pu r'culer ce s'ra donc un beau mariage ensoleillé
Moi chu assis su ma galerie
Et ces gens-là je les épie
J'essaye seulement d'pouvoir chanter leur vie

Tout en laissant réchauffer
Par cette belle journée ensoleillée
