Littoral courbe la mer est citron
Curved coastline, the sea is lemon
Je ferme mon blouson
I close my jacket
Sur la plage
On the beach
Le vent des dunes balaie l'horizon
The wind from the dunes sweeps the horizon
Prenant nos poumons
Taking our lungs
En otage
Hostage
Something you left is on my bed
A piece of your hair from your head
Something you lef is on my lips
Forgotten taste of your kiss
Solide écueil en chlore et grillons
Solid obstacle in chlorine and crickets
J'en oublierais ton nom
I would forget your name
Et l'orage
And the storm
Praslin m'appelle en belle oraison
Praslin calls me in beautiful prayer
Pour demander pardon
To ask for forgiveness
Aux coquillages
To the seashells
Something you left is on my bed
A piece of your hair from your head
Something you lef is on my lips
Forgotten taste of your kiss
I miss your dogs and I miss you too
I'll never be the same without you
I miss your voice and I miss love too
I'll never be the same without you
Something you left is on my bed
A piece of your hair from your head
Something you lef is on my lips
Forgotten taste of your kiss
