Sale
Ya Levis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh na na
Oh na na yeah
Oh na na

Pas l'intention de se marier, à l'oreille tu m'as chuchoté ouais
Tu dis ne pas vouloir t'engager, notre amour tu l'as assassiné ouais

J'étais prêt à tout changer pour toi
Recaler toutes les autres n'être qu'avec toi
Prêt à te présenter à la maman
Faire de toi ma reine être ton roi
Toi tu voulais du sale, on y est
Maintenant on y est
Tu voulais du sale, on y est
Maintenant on y est
Maintenant tant pis pour toi, tant pis pour toi
Maintenant tant pis pour toi, tant pis pour toi

Haissa Haissa tu veux regretter
Haissa Haissa tu veux regretter
Haissa Haissa tu veux regretter
Haissa Haissa tu veux regretter

Tu voulais jouer la bad girl eh
ouais, maintenant il faut assumer eh ouais
Tu veux réveiller ces démons eh ouais que j'ai longtemps oubliés

Aucun regret de t'avoir aimé,
mais plutôt d'avoir cru que toi tu m'aimais
Au fond tu sais je t'ai pardonné
Ce soir c'est la dernière faudra tout donner

J'étais prêt à tout changer pour toi
Recaler toutes les autres n'être qu'avec toi
Prêt à te présenter à la maman
Faire de toi ma reine être ton roi
Toi tu voulais du sale, on y est
Maintenant on y est
Tu voulais du sale, on y est
Maintenant on y est
Maintenant tant pis pour toi, tant pis pour toi
Maintenant tant pis pour toi, tant pis pour toi
Tu voulais du sale, on y est
Maintenant on y est
Maintenant tant pis pour toi, tant pis pour toi
Maintenant tant pis pour toi, tant pis pour toi

Haissa Haissa tu veux regretter
Haissa Haissa tu veux regretter
Haissa Haissa tu veux regretter
Haissa Haissa tu veux regretter

Toi tu voulais du sale, on y est
Maintenant on y est
Tu voulais du sale, on y est
Maintenant on y est




Maintenant tant pis pour toi, tant pis pour toi
Maintenant tant pis pour toi, tant pis pour toi

Je viens d'une génération qui a vu ses chanteurs préférés privilégier des filles à la peau claire/blanche pour jouer leur meuf dans les clips et de constater que cette tendance à changer, ça fait chaud au coeur, vraiment ❤
