Lyrics
Carolina
Je n’aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina
Je n’aurais jamais pu imaginer qu’on s’aimerait
Elle est si jolie, si fragile
Qu’on a presque peur, presque peur d’y toucher
Elle est le bonheur impossible à rêver
Elle ressemble un peu à ma chance
J’ai presque peur, presque peur d’y penser
Et plus je la vois plus je pense à rêver
Carolina
Je n’aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina
Je n’aurais jamais pu imaginer qu’on s’aimerait
Elle a le regard de l’enfance
Mais elle a aussi les pouvoirs de la fée
C’est la beauté qui commence à rêver
Carolina
Je n’aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina
Je n’aurais jamais pu imaginer qu’on s’aimerait
Je me suis fait prendre au piège
Oh, mais j’aime ma prison
Et c’est si bon de perdre la raison
Un matin, le printemps se donne
Je sais bien, je sais bien qu’il va s’en aller
Mais j’ai tellement mieux que l’automne à rêver
Carolina
Je n’aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina
Je n’aurais jamais pu imaginer qu’on s’aimerait
Lyrics translation
Carolina
I never could have imagined you'd come
Carolina
I could never have imagined we'd love each other
She's so pretty, so fragile
That we're almost afraid, almost afraid to touch it
She is the happiness impossible to dream of
She looks a bit like my luck
I'm almost afraid, almost afraid to think about it
And the more I see her the more I think of dreaming
Carolina
I never could have imagined you'd come
Carolina
I could never have imagined we'd love each other
She has the look of childhood
But she also has the powers of the fairy
It is the beauty that begins to dream
Carolina
I never could have imagined you'd come
Carolina
I could never have imagined we'd love each other
I got trapped.
Oh, but I love my prison
And it's so good to lose reason
One morning, spring comes
I know, I know he's going to leave.
But I have so much better than autumn to dream of
Carolina
I never could have imagined you'd come
Carolina
I could never have imagined we'd love each other
