C'est étrange, je ne sais pas ce qui m'arrive ce soir 00:06
Je te regarde comme pour la première fois 00:10
Encore des mots toujours des mots 00:12
Les mêmes mots 00:17
Je ne sais plus comme te dire 00:20
Rien que des mots 00:21
Mais tu es cette belle histoire d'amou 00:24
Que je ne cesserai jamais de lire 00:26
Des mots faciles des mots fragiles 00:27
C'était trop beau 00:30
Tu es d'hier et de demain 00:33
Bien trop beau 00:34
De toujours ma seule verité 00:37
Mais c'est fini le temps des rêves 00:39
Les souvenirs se fanent aussi 00:44
Quand on les oublie 00:47
Tu es comme le vent qui fait chanter les violons 00:52
Et emporte au loin le parfum des roses 00:54
Caramels, bonbons et chocolats 00:56
Par moments, je ne te comprends pas 01:02
Merci, pas pour moi 01:04
Mais tu peux bien les offrir à une autre 01:06
Qui aime le vent et le parfum des roses 01:10
Moi, les mots tendres enrobés de douceur 01:14
Se posent sur ma bouche mais jamais sur mon cœur 01:18
Une parole encore 01:24
Parole, parole, parole 01:26
Écoute-moi 01:29
Parole, parole, parole 01:30
Je t'en prie 01:33
Parole, parole, parole 01:34
Je te jure 01:36
Parole, parole, parole, parole, parole 01:38
Encore des paroles que tu sêmes au vent 01:42
Voilà mon destin 01:49
Te parler comme la première fois 01:51
Encore des mots toujours des mots 01:54
Les mêmes mots 01:58
Comme j'aimerais que tu me comprennes 02:00
Rien que des mots 02:02
Que tu m'écoutes au moins une fois 02:04
Des mots magiques, des mots tactiques 02:06
Qui sonnent faux 02:11
Tu es mon rêve défendu 02:14
Oui, tellement faux 02:15
Mon seul tourment et mon unique espérance 02:17
Rien ne t'arrête quand tu commences 02:20
Si tu savais comme j'ai envie 02:25
D'un peu de silence 02:29
Tu es pour moi la seule musique 02:33
Qui fait danser les étoiles sur les dunes 02:35
Caramels, bonbons et chocolats 02:38
Si tu n'existais pas déjà je t'inventerais 02:43
Merci, pas pour moi 02:46
Mais tu peux bien les offrir à une autre 02:48
Qui aime les étoiles sur les dunes 02:52
Moi, les mots tendres enrobés de douceur 02:56
Se posent sur ma bouche mais jamais sur mon cœur 03:00
Encore un mot juste une parole 03:06
Parole, parole, parole 03:08
Écoute-moi 03:11
Parole, parole, parole 03:12
Je t'en prie 03:15
Parole, parole, parole 03:16
Je te jure 03:19
Parole, parole, parole, parole, parole 03:20
Encore des paroles que tu sêmes au vent 03:25
Que tu es belle 03:30
Parole, parole, parole 03:31
Que tu es belle 03:34
Parole, parole, parole 03:35
Que tu es belle 03:38
Parole, parole, parole 03:39
Que tu es belle 03:42

[English]
It's strange, I don't know what's happening to me tonight
I look at you as if for the first time
More words, always words
The same words
I no longer know how to tell you
Just words
But you are that beautiful love story
That I will never stop reading
Easy words, fragile words
It was too beautiful
You are from yesterday and tomorrow
Way too beautiful
Always my only truth
But it's over, the time for dreams
Memories fade too
When we forget them
You are like the wind that makes the violins sing
And carries far away the scent of roses
Caramels, candies, and chocolates
At times, I don't understand you
Thank you, not for me
But you can well offer them to another
Who loves the wind and the scent of roses
Me, the tender words wrapped in sweetness
Rest on my lips but never on my heart
One more word
Word, word, word
Listen to me
Word, word, word
Please
Word, word, word
I swear to you
Word, word, word, word, word
More words that you sow to the wind
Here is my destiny
To speak to you like the first time
More words, always words
The same words
How I wish you would understand me
Just words
That you listen to me at least once
Magical words, tactical words
That sound false
You are my forbidden dream
Yes, so false
My only torment and my unique hope
Nothing stops you when you start
If you only knew how much I long for
A little silence
You are for me the only music
That makes the stars dance on the dunes
Caramels, candies, and chocolates
If you didn't already exist, I would invent you
Thank you, not for me
But you can well offer them to another
Who loves the stars on the dunes
Me, the tender words wrapped in sweetness
Rest on my lips but never on my heart
One more word, just one word
Word, word, word
Listen to me
Word, word, word
Please
Word, word, word
I swear to you
Word, word, word, word, word
More words that you sow to the wind
How beautiful you are
Word, word, word
How beautiful you are
Word, word, word
How beautiful you are
Word, word, word
How beautiful you are
Word, word, word, word, word
More words that you sow to the wind
