Lyrics
Tu étais toi
Toi c'était tout un monde
Vivant à la seconde
Comme si il avait peur
Tu étais toi
Toi un million de chose
Un printemps qui explose
Un torrent qui se meurt
Tu étais toi
Toi toute la nature
La brise qui murmure
Et l’orage en fureur
Et j'étais moi
Jardinier de tes rêves
Que je cueillais sans trêve
Au jardin de ton cœur
Tu étais toi
Toi la source limpide
Qu’un voyageur avide
Trouve dans le désert
Tu étais toi
Toi la source divine
Du soleil sur les ruines
D’un cœur à découvert
Tu étais toi
L'étoile de la chance
Qui est la providence
Du marin de la mer
Et j'étais toi
Le spectateur unique
De pièces fantastiques
Aux cent actes divers
Mais tu étais toi
Toi un cœur sans patrie
Tu as repris la vie
Depuis je sais que pour toujours
Je serai moi
Triste loup solitaire
L’ombre de mes chimères
Dépossédé de mon amour
Lyrics translation
You Were you
You were a whole world
Living to the second
As if he was afraid
You Were you
You a million things
A spring that explodes
A torrent that dies
You Were you
You all nature
The murmuring breeze
And the raging storm
And I was me
Gardener of your dreams
That I picked without a break
In the garden of your heart
You Were you
You the clear source
That an avid traveler
Found in the desert
You Were you
You the divine source
Sun on the ruins
From an uncovered heart
You Were you
The Lucky Star
Who is providence
From the sea sailor
And I was you
The unique spectator
Of fantastic pieces
A hundred other acts
But you were you
You a heart without a homeland
You've come back to life.
Since I know that forever
I'll be me
Sad lone wolf
The shadow of my chimeras
Dispossessed of my love
