Promises
Vicious Pink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Les promesses, (The promises)
Aprs vos promesses. (After your promises)
Vous me donnez les promesses, (You give me the promises)
Ne rompez pas vos promesses. (Don't break your promises)

Paris, you give me Paris.
All of your Paris,
Don't break your promises.

Walking by the Seine,
Strolling the Champs Elysee.
Pictures by the Tour d'Eiffel,
Rushing, through the Metro.

Paris, you give me Paris.
All of your Paris,
Don't break your promises.

Paris, pour moi, (Paris, for me)
Paris, pour vous. (Paris, for you)
Paris, vos promises. (Paris, your promesses)

Les promesses, (The promises)
Aprs vos promesses. (After your promises)
Vous me donnez les promesses, (You give me the promises)
Ne rompez pas vos promesses. (Don't break your promises)

Paris, you give me Paris.
All of your Paris,
Don't break your promises.

Walking by the Seine,
Strolling the Champs Elysee.
Pictures by the Tour d'Eiffel,
Rushing(Paris), through the Metro.

You give me Paris,
All of your Paris.
Don't break your(Paris), promises.

Paris, pour moi, (Paris, for me)




Paris, pour vous. (Paris, for you)
Vos promesses. (Your promises)
