[English]

Chaos in paradise

When you get into my life

A taste of the other side

You got into my mind

Changed my system, tied me blind

No escape, no place to hide

La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la

There's no escape when two hearts, when two hearts collide

La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la

Us, side by side, with no space and time

Tu m'as touché

Tu m'as touché

Mais j'ai peur

D'être blessé

Tu m'as touché

Tu m'as touché

Je sais plus m'en passer

Sais plus m'en passer

Tu m'as touché

(Tu m'as touché)

(Tu m'as touché)

(Je sais plus m'en passer)

(Sais plus m'en passer)

I've tried to let it go

But I miss, I miss you so

You killed me silent, soft and slow

Your love for me was gold

But now you're a stone cold

You left me to a place unknown

Tu m'as touché

Tu m'as touché

Mais j'ai peur

D'être blessé

Tu m'as touché

Tu m'as touché

Je sais plus m'en passer

Sais plus m'en passer

Tu m'as touché

Tu m'as touché

La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la

(Tu m'as touché)

La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la

(La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la)

Tu m'as touché

Tu m'as touché

Mais j'ai peur

D'être blessé

Tu m'as touché

Tu m'as touché

Je sais plus m'en passer

Sais plus m'en passer
