Lyrics
Il avait de grands yeux très clairs
Où parfois passaient des Ã(c)clairs
Comme au ciel passent des orages
Il Ã(c)tait plein de tatouages
Que j’ai jamais très bien compris
Son cou portait, «Pas vu, pas pris»
Sur son coeur on lisait, «Personne»
Sur son bras droit un mot, «Raisonne»
Je sais pas son nom, je ne sais rien de lui
Il m’a aimÃ(c)e toute la nuit
Mon lÃ(c)gionnaire
Et me laissant à mon destin
Il est parti dans le matin
Plein de lumière!
Il Ã(c)tait mince il Ã(c)tait beau
Il sentait bon le sable chaud
Mon lÃ(c)gionnaire!
Y’avait du soleil sur son front
Qui mettait dans ses cheveux blonds
De la lumière!
Bonheur perdu, bonheur enfui
Toujours je pense à cette nuit
Et l’envie de sa peau me ronge
Parfois je pleure et puis je songe
Que lorsqu’il Ã(c)tait sur mon coeur
J’aurais dÃ" crier mon bonheur
Mais je n’ai rien osé lui dire
J’avais peur de le voir sourire!
On l’a trouvé dans le dÃ(c)sert
Il avait ses beaux yeux ouverts
Dans le ciel passaient des nuages
Il a montré ses tatouages
En souriant et il a dit
Montrant son cou, «Pas vu, pas pris»
Montrant son coeur, «Ici personne»
Il ne savait pas, je lui pardonne
Je rêvais pourtant que le destin
Me ramènerait un beau matin
Mon lÃ(c)gionnaire!
Qu’on s’en irait loin tous les deux
Dans quelque pays merveilleux
Plein de lumière!
Il Ã(c)tait mince il Ã(c)tait beau
On l’a mis sous le sable chaud
Mon lÃ(c)gionnaire!
Y’avait du soleil sur son front
Qui mettait dans ses cheveux blonds
De la lumière!
Lyrics translation
He had big, very clear eyes
Where sometimes passed clear E (C)
As thunderstorms pass through the sky
It (c) was full of tattoos
That I have never understood very well
His neck wore, " not seen, not taken»
On his heart it read, " No One»
On his right arm a word, " reason»
I don't know his name, I don't know anything about him.
He loved me all night
My (c) gionaire
And leaving me to my destiny
He left in the morning
Full of light!
He was thin he was handsome
It smelled good hot sand
My (c)gionnaire!
There was Sun on his forehead
Who put in her blonde hair
From the world!
Happiness lost, happiness fled
I always think about this night
And the envy of her skin gnaws at me
Sometimes I cry and then I think
That when it was on my heart
I would have cried out my happiness
But I didn't dare say anything
I was afraid to see him smile!
It was found in the D (C) serves
He had his beautiful eyes open
In the sky passed clouds
He showed his tattoos
Smiling and he said
Showing his neck, " not seen, not taken»
Showing his heart, " here no one»
He didn't know, I forgive him
I thought that fate
Would bring me a nice morning
My (c)gionnaire!
That we'd both go away
In some wonderful country
Full of light!
He was thin he was handsome
We put it under the hot sand
My (c)gionnaire!
There was Sun on his forehead
Who put in her blonde hair
From the world!
