Lyrics

Spoken:
Tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les amours de mon cœur déçu
Car tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les mensonges des anges dechus
Amour du matin frais comme la rose
Amour qu’on etreint en etreignant le jour
Tu etais si jolie les lèvres mi-closes
Me penchant vers toi je t’ai dit toujours
Mais tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les amours de mon cœur déçu
Car tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les mensonges des anges dechus
Amour de midi brûlant de clarté
Amour que l’on vole au vol de la vie
Le vent qui jalousait le chant de nos baisers
Nous disait d'être sages et nous en avons ri
Mais tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les amours de mon cœur déçu
Car tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les mensonges des anges dechus
Amour de la nuit brasier sans lumiere
Amour qui espere l’espoir qu’on attend
Tu avais dans les yeux un bouquet de prières
Je t’ai dit demain j’ai pensé je mens
Car tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les amours de mon cœur déçu
Car tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
N’ont pu faire de moi qu’un ange déchu

Lyrics translation

Spoken:
All the paths that lead to Rome
Carry the loves of my heart disappointed
For all the paths that lead to Rome
Carry the lies of the Angels dechus
Fresh morning love like rose
Love that we wither by wither the day
You looked so pretty half-closed lips
Leaning towards you I always told you
But all the paths that lead to Rome
Carry the loves of my heart disappointed
For all the paths that lead to Rome
Carry the lies of the Angels dechus
Burning noon love of clarity
Love that one steals to the flight of life
The wind that Jealous the song of our kisses
He told us to be wise and we laughed
But all the paths that lead to Rome
Carry the loves of my heart disappointed
For all the paths that lead to Rome
Carry the lies of the Angels dechus
Love of the night Brazier without light
Love that awaits the hope that awaits
You had a bouquet of prayers in your eyes
I told you tomorrow I thought I was lying
For all the paths that lead to Rome
Carry the loves of my heart disappointed
For all the paths that lead to Rome
They could only make me a fallen angel
