Sophie-Tith Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mes peurs se sont toues endormies
mes vacarmes sonores
N'ont pas ouvert l'œil de la nuit
Blotti contre ton corps

Je me sens comme dans un lit
De volutes et d'or
Mes vents du Nord m'est do, ré mi

Dorénavant sont morts

Elle me dit qu'elle n'aime que les slows en anglais
Et j'expire un Shakespeare très français
Si l'élocution traîne
L'intention y est
Quand je fais
I love you

Dans vase soliflore, j'ai mis
Ma plus belle fleur
je la porte à mon cœur repris
Et vois cet amour éclore

J'étais hier comme un loup gris
Hurle à la Lune et mort
Ma vie, ce petit colibri
De volupté colore

Elle me dit qu'elle n'aime que les slows en anglais
Et j'expire un Shakespeare très français
Si l'élocution traîne
L'intention est reine
Quand je fais
I love you

Elle me dit qu'elle n'aime que les mots doux anglais
Que j'expire un Shakespeare très français
Si l'élocution traîne

ne m'en veux pas Lady when I say
I love you
