Emmanuelle
Roy Herve / Pierre Bachelet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mélodie d'amour chantait le cœur d'Emmanuelle
Qui bat cœur à corps perdu
Mélodie d'amour chantait le corps d'Emmanuelle
Qui vit corps à cœur déçu

Tu es encore
Presque une enfant
Tu n'as connu
Qu'un seul amant
Mais à vingt ans
Pour rester sage
L'amour étant
Trop long voyage

Mélodie d'amour chantait le cœur d'Emmanuelle
Qui bat cœur à corps perdu
Mélodie d'amour chantait le corps d'Emmanuelle
Qui vit corps à cœur déçu

L'amour à cœur
Tu l'as rêvé
L'amour à corps
Tu l'as trouvé
Tu es en somme
Devant les hommes
Comme un soupir
Sur leur désir

Tu es si belle
Emmanuelle
Cherche le cœur
Trouve les pleurs
Cherche toujours
Cherche plus loin
Viendra l'amour
Sur ton chemin

Mélodie d'amour chantait le cœur d'Emmanuelle
Qui bat cœur à corps perdu




Mélodie d'amour chantait le corps d'Emmanuelle
Qui vit corps à cœur déçu.
