Dieu
Salih Saka Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dieu, écoute ma prière
Donne-moi, je t'en prie, donne-moi
Du soleil pour réchauffer mon cœur
Pour calmer ma douleur
Et mes angoisses, j'ai besoin de toi

Dieu, faut-il que l'on abuse
De ton nom, qu'on se serve de toi

Que des gens que tu ne connais pas
Disent Dieu a dit ça
Il faut le faire, je ne les crois pas

Dieu, pour moi tu es un autre
Tu n'es ce qu'on veut que tu sois
Tu me donnes la force et la foi
Quand souvent je me noie
Et que je tombe, tu me relève, dieu

Je ne vois pas ton visage
J'aimerais que tu viennes ici bas
Nous parler et nous montrer la voie
On a besoin de toi, de quelque chose
Où te caches-tu ? dieu

Dieu, je te cherche et je doute
Mes amis se passent bien de toi
Mais, j'ai en moi, cette petite voix

Si tu n'existes pas
Je te reverrais dieu
