Tom Frager Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A place I feel at home
Sun will shine
Everyday in to my home
I’ll be glad
When you’ll coming to my home
Bring your smile always
J’ai trouvé, é, la plage au pied de mon lit
Évident, il était temps de poser ma valise
Entre les dunes et la forêt
Je voulais des matins sans le bruit des villes
Éviter de me presser
Comme on fait quand la vie est facile
Il me fallait des moments,
Sans peine et sans tourments
J’ai assez laissé passer le présent, c’est évident
Il y a parfois c’est vrai
Du mauvais temps (du mauvais temps)
Mais je me dis que la vue ne fait que passer.
Oh oh eh, oh I found
A place I feel at home
Sun will shine
Everyday in to my home
I’ll be glad
When you’ll coming to my home
Bring your smile always
J’ai fais le tour de la Terre
Avec ma guitare sur le dos
Et j’ai chanté les étés, les hivers
Au fil de la vie qui coule à flots
J’évite les cons qui m’indiffèrent
Ouais les fichus, les fachos
J’ai ramené l’amour des contraires
Jusque dans ma case au bord de l’eau
Il y a parfois c’est vrai
Du mauvais temps (du mauvais temps)
Mais je me dis que la vue ne fait que passer.
Oh oh eh, oh I found
A place I feel at home
Sun will shine
Everyday in to my home
I’ll be glad
When you’ll coming to my home
Bring your smile always
Oh I found
A place I feel at home
Sun will shine
Everyday in to my home
I’ll be glad
When you’ll coming to my home
Bring your smile always
