Garder Cette Vie
Sheryfa Luna Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je cherche encore mes repères dans cette nouvelle vie
Car j'ai encore du mal a y croire aujourd'hui.
J'ai vécu tant de choses, gagner des souvenirs
Ces bons moments qu'on aimerait vivre au ralentit.

Consiente de cette chance qui m'est donnée
Je ne me lasserai pas, pas moi
De vous le prouvez

( REFRAIN )
Je veux pouvoir trouver ma place
Je ferai tout pour ne pas qu'on m'efface
Je veux réussir même si je peine
Garder cette vie ..
Je veux pouvoir garder ma place
Je veux pouvoir rester la même
Et garder cette vie ..

Même si je ne sais pas de quoi est fait demain,
Je sais pourquoi mes yeux brillent chaque matins :
C'est pour la mélodie que je respire enfin
Et je ne veux jamais voir de ce rêve la fin.

Consiente de cette chance qui m'est donnée
J'ai la force et la volonté
Laissez moi vous le prouvez ...

( REFRAIN X2 )

J'affronte mes peurs, mes doutes
Afin de construire ma route
Un long chemin, une vie
Que je décide d'écrire ..

( REFRAIN )
