Lyrics

Elle attend que le monde change
Elle attend que changent les temps
Elle attend que ce monde étrange
Se perde et que tournent les vents
Inexorablement elle attend
Aaaaah… Aaaaah… (2x)
Elle attend que l’horizon bouge
Elle attend que changent les gens
Elle attend comme un coup de foudre
Le règne des anges innocents
Inexorablement elle attend
Aaaaah… Aaaaah… (2x)
Elle attend que la grande roue tourne
Tournent les aiguilles du temps
Elle attend sans se résoudre
En frottant ses couverts en argent
Inexorablement elle attend
Et elle regarde les images
Et vit des histoires d’avant
Donnerait de grands équipages
Où les bons sont habillés de blanc
Et elle s’invente des voyages
Entre un fauteuil et un divan
D’eau de rose et de passion sage
Aussi pure que ses vieux romans
Aussi grand que celui qu’elle attend
Elle attend que le monde change
Elle attend que changent les temps
Elle attend que ce monde étrange
Se perde et que tournent les vents
Inexorablement elle attend
Aaaaah… Aaaaah… (4x)

Lyrics translation

She waits for the world to change
She waits for the times to change
She waits for this strange world
Get lost and what the winds turn
Inexorably she waits
Aaaaah ... Aaaaah ... (2x)
She waits for the horizon to move
She waits for people to change
She waits like a thunderbolt
The reign of innocent angels
Inexorably she waits
Aaaaah ... Aaaaah ... (2x)
She waits for the ferris wheel to spin
Turn the needles of time
She waits without resolving
Rubbing her silver cutlery
Inexorably she waits
And she looks at the pictures
And lives stories from before
Would give large crews
Where the good guys are dressed in white
And she invents travel
Between an armchair and a sofa
Rose water and passion wise
As pure as his old novels
As big as she expects
She waits for the world to change
She waits for the times to change
She waits for this strange world
Get lost and what the winds turn
Inexorably she waits
Aaaaah ... Aaaaah ... (4x)
