Lyrics
Toi, tu savais t’habiller
A la mode de l’amour
A la mode de toujours
Oh, oh, toi, tu m’en as fait baver
Mais il faut dire entre nous
Que tu avais du goût
Tu portais au printemps des yeux mi-biche, mi-braise
Et la bouche assortie mi-boudeuse, mi-fraise
Et tu portais aussi ce corps de femme-enfant
Qui dit je te permets en disant je te l’défends
En été tu portais une peau pain d'épice
Avec une vague bleue drapée autour des cuisses
Et la nuit tu gardais le soleil de midi
Dans tes cheveux dorés ça éclairait mon lit
Un beau soir t’as sorti ta collection d’automne
De longs regards mouillés et des bras q~u frissonnent
Mais la ligne de ton c? ur s’est aussi transformée
Mi-lueur feu de bois mi-s'envole en fumée
En hiver tu m’as dit je n’ai plus rien à mettre
A ces mots j’ai compris que t’allais disparaître
Et la veille de Noël te serrant contre moi
La neige de ton corps a fondu dans mes doigts
Toi, tu savais t’habiller
A la mode de l’amour
A la mode de toujours
Et moi
Je me suis rhabillé
A la mode de toujours
Quand se termine l’amour
Lyrics translation
You knew how to dress.
In the fashion of love
In the fashion of always
Oh, oh, you made me drool.
But it must be said Between Us
That you had taste
You wore half-baked, half-Ember eyes in the spring
And the mouth matched half-boudous, half-strawberry
And you were wearing that woman-child body, too.
Who says I allow you by saying I defend you
In the summer you wore a gingerbread skin
With a blue wave draped around the thighs
And at night you kept the midday sun
In your golden hair it lit up my bed
A beautiful evening you released your autumn collection
Long wet looks and arms Q ~ u shudder
What about your c line? ur has also changed
Half-glow wood fire half-flies in smoke
In winter you told me I have nothing to wear
With these words I realized that you were going to disappear
And on Christmas Eve holding you against me
The snow of your body melted in my fingers
You knew how to dress.
In the fashion of love
In the fashion of always
And me
I got dressed.
In the fashion of always
When love ends
