Patricia Kaas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et je dois avouer que oui
C'est ma folie, ma touch
Je n' suis pas vraiment d'ici
Je me construis une planète
Où l'on en fait qu'à sa tête
Et j'ai comme religion
C'est les femmes qui mènent la danse
Dans leurs vies et dans leurs cœurs
C'est les femmes qui mènent la danse
Qui ont les clés de leur bonheur
Qui ont les clés de leur bonheur
On n'est pas le sexe faible
Mais l'enfer et le paradis
Pour nous les étoiles se lèvent
Illuminent la nuit
On a inventé la transe
Lorsque nos hanches balancent
On enflamme les sens
Pour une vie plus intense
C'est les femmes qui mènent la danse
Dans leurs vies et dans leurs cœurs
C'est les femmes qui mènent la danse
Qui ont les clés de leur bonheur
Qui ont les clés de leur bonheur
Dans le ciel et dans leurs peaux
Dans ce vide comme un étau
C'est les femmes
Qui ont les clés de leur bonheur
C'est les femmes qui mènent la danse
C'est les femmes qui mènent la danse
Dans leurs vies et dans leurs cœurs
C'est les femmes qui mènent la danse.
