Lyrics

C’est ta voix
Qui dit dans la nuit
«C'est toi? C’est toi, Johnny ?»
C’est ta voix
Mais c’est pas moi
Tu m’aimerais pas si j'étais moi
J’ai pris à ta vie
Plus que la vie
J’ai pris à ton corps
Plus que ton corps
Tu m’as donné
Une autre vie
Quelquefois
J’en rêve encore
C’est ma voix, mais c’est pas moi
Tu m’aimerais pas
Si j'étais moi
C’est ta voix
Qui dit dans la nuit
«C'est toi? C’est toi, Johnny ?»
C’est ta voix, mais c’est pas moi
Tu m’aimerais pas
Si j'étais moi
Quand je voyais
Un avion dans le ciel
Je crachais par terre
Quand j'étais petit
Maintenant j’espère
De tes nouvelles
Entre Roissy et Orly
C’est ma voix, mais c’est pas moi
Tu m’aimerais pas
Si j'étais moi
Pour toi
J’ai changé d’insomnies
D’alcools, de rêves et de confort
Tu m’as donné d’autres envies
Quelquefois j’en rêve encore
C’est ma voix
Mais c’est pas moi
Tu m’aimerais pas
Si j'étais moi
Si !

Lyrics translation

It's your voice
Who says in the night
"Is that you? Is that you, Johnny ?»
It's your voice
But it's not me.
You wouldn't love me if I were you.
I took to your life
More than life
I took to your body
More than your body
You gave me
Another life
Sometimes
I still dream about it
It's my voice, but it's not me.
You wouldn't like me
If I were me
It's your voice
Who says in the night
"Is that you? Is that you, Johnny ?»
It's your voice, but it's not me.
You wouldn't like me
If I were me
When I saw
A plane in the sky
I was spitting on the floor
When I was little
Now I hope
From your news
Between Roissy and Orly
It's my voice, but it's not me.
You wouldn't like me
If I were me
For you
I changed insomnia
Spirits, dreams and comfort
You gave me other desires
Sometimes I still dream about it
It's my voice
But it's not me.
You wouldn't like me
If I were me
Yes !
