Lyrics

Cet air qui m’obsde jour et nuit
Pourtant n’est pas n d’aujourd’hui
Il vient d’aussi loin que je viens
Tran par cent mill' musiciens
Un jour cet air me rendra folle
Cent fois j’ai voulu dir' pourquoi
Mais il m’a coup la parole
Il parle toujours avant moi
Et sa voix couvre ma voix.
R1 Padam, Padam, Padam,
Il arrive en courant derrir' moi
Padam, Padam, Padam,
Il me fait le coup du «souviens-toi «Padam, Padam, Padam,
C’est un air qui me montre du doigt
Et je trane aprs moi comme un' drle d’erreur
Cet air qui sait tout par coeur.
2 Il dit: rappell' toi tes amours
Rappell' toi puisque c’est ton tour
Y’a pas d’raison que tu n’pleur’s pas
Avec tes souv’nirs sur les bras
Et moi je revois ce qui reste
Mes vingt ans font battre tambour
Je vois s’entrebattre des gestes
Tout' la comdie des amours
Sur un air qui va toujours.
R2 Padam, Padam, Padam
Des «je t’aim' «de quatorze juillet
Padam, Padam, Padam
Des «toujours «qu'on achte au rabais
Padam, Padam, Padam
Des «veux-tu, en voil «par paquets
Et tout a pour tomber juste au coin d’la rue
Sur l’air qui m’a reconnue.
R3 Padam, Padam, Padam
coutez le chahut qu’il me fait
Padam, Padam, Padam
Comme si tout mon pass dfilait
Padam, Padam, Padam
Faut garder du chagrin pour aprs
J’en ai tout un solfg' dans cet air qui bat
Qui bat, comme un coeur de bois.

Lyrics translation

That air that haunts me day and night
Yet is not n of today
It comes from as far as I come
Tran by one hundred mill ' musicians
One day this air will drive me crazy
A hundred times I wanted to say why
But he broke my word.
He always talks before me
And his voice covers my voice.
R1 Padam, Padam, Padam,
He comes running after me
Padam, Padam, Padam,
He's doing The "remember "thing to me Padam, Padam, Padam,
It's an air that shows me the finger
And I trane after me as an ' error drle
That air that knows everything by heart.
2 and he said, Remember thy love
Remember, it's your turn.
There's no reason you're not crying.
With your SUV'nirs on your arms
And I see what's left
My twenty years make the drum beat
I can see the gestures getting bogged down
Tout ' la comdie des amours
On an air that always goes.
R2 Padam, Padam, Padam
"Je t'aim' " from fourteen July
Padam, Padam, Padam
"Always" that we buy at a discount
Padam, Padam, Padam
"Do you want, in voil" by packages
And everything has to fall just around the corner
On the air that recognized me.
R3 Padam, Padam, Padam
cut the fuss he's making me
Padam, Padam, Padam
As if all my Pass is spinning
Padam, Padam, Padam
You have to keep grief for after
I have a lot of solfg ' in this Air That Beats
Beating, like a heart of wood.
