Lyrics & Translation
You looked me in the eyes
And you took my hand
And you kissed me, eh-eh-eh
You and me
I felt like we were meant to be together
When I saw that face
I knew it was you
I saw you for the second time
With a view where you see all of Marseille
With your eyes as dark as my Twingo
With that playful smile
That moment, I knew
That I was crazy about you
My heart stopped, then started beating again
You and me
I felt like we were meant to be together
When I saw that face
I knew it was you
I tried to talk to you
But I didn't know what to say
I must have seemed crazy
I must have seemed strange
But you didn't laugh
You looked me in the eyes
And you took my hand
And you kissed me
You and me
I felt like we were meant to be together
When I saw that face
I knew it was you
But you didn't laugh
You looked me in the eyes
And you took my hand
And you kissed me
You and me
I felt like we were meant to be together
When I saw that face
I knew it was you
(We knew the street life, it’s clear)
(It’s Kakou on the beat)
